- hEAllant SOC1al event. MAR
riage of DIR. w. A. COrsOn and
Miss Amelia 8. Adams at Lin
wood.
The quiet little village of Linwood
was enlivened on Wednesday, of last
week, by one of the most elegant and
stylish weddings that has taken place
| along the Shore for several years. On
| that date Miss Amelia Sanders Adams,
daughter of Hon. Israel G. Adams, was
married to DR.. Walter Adelbert COrson,
of Atlantic City end the occasion was
| made noted social event. The wedding
was set for II O'Clock, noon, and short
| ly before that hour the spacious man
| sion was crowded with guests from
Atlantic City, Camden, Trenton, Phil
adelphia, and from towns in this immed-
late vicinity. The marriage ceremony
was performed in the parlor by Rev.
John WarthmaD, of Manahawkin, as
sisted by the local pastor of Central M.
E. Church, Rev. Charles FitzGeorge.
The groom entered the parlor with his
groomsman, Mr.. l.. g. Salmon, of At
lantic City, and a moment later the
bride came in leaning upon the arm of
her father. She wore beautiful wed
ding gown of white mOusseline de sole
over white taffeta silk and carried q
boquet of white chrysanthemams.
Her sister, Miss Florence Adams, vas
maid OF honor and looked lovely in a
handsome gown of pink mousseline de
sole, over pink taffeta silk and carried
bouquet OF pink chrysanthemums. The
father gave away the bride, and the
impressive marriage service was per-
formed beneath canopy of flowers. At
its conclusion all the guests congratu-
lated the happy pair, and blessings and
kisses were showered upon them for
several minutes. A sumptuous wedding
breakfast was then elegantly served by
Mosebach, the Philadelphia caterer, and
for couple hours thereafter the house
was filed with gay and happy throng.
Shortly before o'clock a handsome
two-horse carriage was driven up to
the front door to convey the newly
welded pair to the train, and then
their troubles began. The groom-who
had on similar occasions before helped
his friends to ''send-off," found that
the day of retribution had come. His
hand trunk could not be found until the
last moment, and when it was produced
it was found painted on every side with
notices appropriate to the occasion,
and couple of hearts pierced by Cupid's
dart. All the guests assembled on the
porch fairly deluged the departing couple
with showers of rice until the bride and
groom, the carriage, the ground and
the porch looked as if a snow storm was
raging. After the occupants of the
carriage had been seated, some one de-
tained them for a moment upon some
very fimsy pretext, while a few thought
full friends hurriedly attached white
satin streamers to the carriage pole
and hung huge cardboard beneath the
hind axle bearing the inscription-"We
are just married" and it dangled there
all the way to the Absecon station
where the happy couple boarded the
train on their two weeks wedding tour
which will include visit to New York,
Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and other
places. After December Is, DIR. and
Mrs. Corson will be "at home' at their
new residence No. IL States avenue At
lantic City.
The wedding presents were very num-
erous and many of them costly-includ-
ing china, cut glass and silverware,
bric-a-brac, medallions &c. The father
of the bride gave her piano, the groom
diamond ring, the groom's father
handsome sum of money, and the

City, dinner set of Haviland China
