The marriage of Miss Evelyn Adams
and Mr.. Bert Monroe Meadow, solemnized
last evening at the South Highlands Meth
odist church, was an exceptionally pretty
one in It's every detail. The church is an
ideal one for a nuptial ceremony. The
English finish of the altar and chancel
rich, heavy and dark, makes a strixinslv
beautiful background for the Rroup gath
cred together in wedding party. Last
evening the only floral decoration was a
bank of palms.
An organ recital, presented by Mrs
Charles e. bowman, preceded the cere-
mony. Mr.. Charles Brown rendered an
appropriate vocal number just before the
party entered. At s 80 o'clock the OPEN
ing tones of the march from "I.ohengrin,
announced the entrance of the bridal pro-
cession.
The ushers advanced down the two CEN
trail aisles singly. They were Mr.. seab
Whatley. Mr.. 1. W.. Tull, Mr.. James
Adams and Mr.. Percy Meadow. They
were followed by the first bridesmaid,
Miss Kathleen Adams, the young sister
OF the bride. Miss Agnes Bethea, the
second bridesmaid, followed, and Miss
Helen Coulbourne entered in advance of
the maid of honor. The bridesmaids
gowns were built of yellow messaline de
sole en- train and garnitured with gold
and lace. Arm clusters of golden yellow
chrysanthemums, tied with gold ribbons,
completed an effective toilette. Stimuli

maids the groomsmen, Mr.. Edward Err
win, Mr.. Ernest Bragg and Mr.. Charles
Brown, advanced to the altar.
Miss Roberta Adams was her sisters
maid of honor. She was most picturesque
in a trailing robe of white messaline de
broidery, and carried an immense bouquet
of golden yellow chrysanthemums tied
with white ribbon.
The bride entered on the arm of her
father, Mr.. Joseph Robert Adams. They
were met at the altar by Mr.. Meadow.
and his best man, Mr.. Robert Mcclure,
who issued from the pastors study. With
in the chancel the ring service was simply
and beautifully pronounced by the Rev.
Preston Blake, pastor of the Southside
Baptist church. Two little white-clad
flower girls, Martha Clements and vir-
ginia Adams, a niece of the bride, scat
tered the yellow petals of chrysanthe-
NUNS from large yellow baskets.
Miss Adams made one Of the 1oveliest
of the autumn brides. Her blond and
ethereal type Of womanhood was ossen-
TALLY suited to the soft clouds OF bridal
veil, and the wilderness of her wedding
gown. Her robe was made of duchess
satin, simple and straight of line and
with a panel front ending in a pearl
fringe. It was made with high neck and
long sleeves, and q court train added to
its grace. A pearl bertha embellished the
corsage. and a wreath of orange blossoms
caught her bridal veil in place. Miss
Adams carried a French bouquet of
brides roses and lilies of the valley.
The bridal party left the church to the
strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march.
A very informal reception at the brides
home followed. The house was adorned
with the bridal colors, yellow and white.
Folds OF yellow ribbon and tulle were
caught OF the large table in the dining
room, from which a buffet supper was
served, and yellow blossoms made hand
some centerpiece. while large plants deco,
rated the various rooms of the residence.
Only the bridal party and the Immediate
relatives of the two families were in at
tendance.
Mr.. Meadow and his bride left last night
for Norfolk, from which point they will
sail for New York to spend their honey
moon. Mr.. Meadow is one of the most

business men, and he has the best wishes
of scores of friends, as has his bride,
who is one of Birminghams loveliest
young girls
