and in its simplicity, was exceed
ingly impressive. The bride was
most charmingly attractive in a
handsome gray Charmeuse gown.
Immediately after the cere-
mony the happy party went to
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. C. O.
Groves where a most splendid re-
ception was rendered. From a
beautifully decorated table in the
dining room, Mrs. Groves, assist
ed by Mrs. Pointer, dispensed a
handsomely appointed dinner.
Mrs. Foster is the youngest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Pardue, of Hamlin, Texas, and
is a member of an old and pro-
minent family of North Louisi-
ana. She has been one of Pol
locks most faithful and conscien-
tious teachers for the past two
years. The profession will with
stand a greakloss when she leaves
it. She is a young woman of a
high order Of intellect; is of a
lovable character, and one of the
most attractive young ladies that
has ever lived in Pollock; of de-
cided beauty, remarkable person
atty, loved and admired by all.
