Mexico weekly ledger., 1902-06-12

On Saturday afternoon Mrs. Haw-
kins entertained about 30 ladies In
honor Of Mrs. Porter. The hostess had
a most unique contest; she would
spell a name backwards, leach one be-
ing a minister's name either In town,
or we'll known and the one guessing
the greatest number received the
prize. 1t is very ~puzzling, indeed; one
scarcely recognized their own name,
when heard spelled backwards. Misses
Virginia Richardson and Maude Wal
lace tied for the very pretty plate, and
in the drawing Miss Richardson re-
ceiyed it. Ice cream with strawber-
ny sauce and cake were served; deli
cious punch also refreshed the guests.
Miss Irma Barnes friends have re-
turned to their respective homes
They were all sweet, charming girls
and made many friends while they
were here. They were Miss Olive
Stone, Of Kansas City; Miss Hazel
Hogan, Of ST Louis. and Miss Belle
Buckner, OF Auxyasse. They were
here a week. 1t was a gala week for
them. On Friday evening OF last week
Miss Barnes gave them a lovely party;
on Monday afternoon Miss Byrd
Locke entertained them; Monday
evening Miss Frances Howe Brooks
entertained for them at a six O'Clock
dinner. Tuesday evening there was a
delightful dance given for them and
also the Misses Richardson, who are
guests In town. On "Wednesday sven
ing Miss Belle Buckner was to have
entertained about twelve couples
from town for them, but the hard
rain prevented them going, which, OF
course. was a disappointment to both
Miss Buckner and the guestsof honor.
The young ladies left Thursday and
we hope they win again visit Mexico.
Last Wednesday at 1880 Miss En-
ma Morris and J. G. Holt. Of Kansas
City, we're married at the residence Of
MI. ]. D. Morris on West Love street.
Gorgeous American Beauty and bridal
roses pFofusely decorated the two
parlors; magnolias and cage jasamines
also exhaled their sweet perfume;
ropes Of smilax was intertwined grace
fully among them. The ceremony
was performed In the south parlor by
Rev. A. W. Kokendoffer. Miss Byrd
Locke sang that beautiful song,
'You,n Little Misses Leah and Car
RE Cauthorn first came in, each with
a rope Of smilax to form an aisle; just
following them little Misses Grace
Morris and Nellie Mckee, with bas-
kets Of flowers, scattered the margue-
rites. Then while the sweet strains
OF Mendelsshon's wedding march
floated out under the master touch Of
Mrs. Elwyn Locke, the bride, on the
arm Of the groom, coming through
the north parlor and into the south,
were made mar and wife. The bride
was beautiful in a handsome gown OF
white satin en- train, with chiffon oyer
dress; exquisite long veil, falling to
the bottom OF the gown, caught in
the hair with lilies Of the valley. She
carried a shower bouquet Of BRIDES
roses and lilies OF the valley. The
groom wore the conventional black
With white gloves. Immediately
after the ceremony they proceeded to
the dining room, where refreshments
Of brick cream and cake were served.
The table was beautiful with a center
OF white carnations and smilax
dropped from the ceiling TO the
corners Of the table. Pretty candle
labras with pink shades shed asoft
glow and, Of course, the brides cake
was cut by her. Downing her very
becoming travelling suit Of blue tafIeta
with panama hat they left on the G.
& A. for Chicago, New York ana,
other points East. There we're many
useful and beautiful presents given,
proving their popularity, and the
good wishes Of their numerous friends
for a life OF happiness and prosperity.
When the bride threw her bouquet
Miss Byrd Locke succeeded in catching
it, 50, according TO the old belief,
Mexico may lose another one Of her
pretty, sweet girls.
