The Colonial Home of Mr.. [. J.
Browning, at SedaIia, was the
Scene of a Pretty Wedding on
Wednesday, When His Dauqh-
ter Miss Louise Browninq,
Became the Wife of Mr. A. B.
Adams.

Like a vision from out the colonial
past of the Southland, the land rich
in traditions of charming hospitality
was the marriage Wednesday after
noon at 4:30 o'clock of Miss Louise
Browning to Mr.. Arthur Barlow
Adams. The lovely country home of
Hon. and Mrs. Lowndes ]. Browning
of Sedalia, was charmingly decorated
for the occasion and gave welcome to
more than two hundred guests who
assembled to do honor to the popular
young couple.
Roses, ferns and potted plants
were arranged at every vantage
point and clusters of white candles
softly lighted the rooms, enhancing
the effect of the decorations and the
general scene.
In the spacious hall where the
wedding party assembled for the GER
emony was an improvised altar of
palms and southern smilax.
The wedding music was played by
Miss Mamie Oetzel, accompanied by
Mrs. H. S. Adams, of Chester, and
Miss Sydney Gage, of Union, both
talented violinists. They gave a de-
lightful program for half an hour be-
fore the ceremony and at the first
notes of the bridal chorus, and
promptly at the appointed hour the
ribbon bearers, Miss Annie Green, of
Newberry, Miss Amey Copeland, of
Clinton, Miss Maud Simpson, of
Westminster and Miss Leila Fergu-
son, Of Laurens, entered carrying
broad satin ribbons forming an aisle
to the altar as they went. They
wore becoming lingerie dresses with
sfset ellesss sird,es. They were fol-.
lowed by the maid Of honor, Miss
Louise Gage, who wore white satin,
en- traine, with graceful drapery of
net. A yellow satin girdle complet-
ed this costume. She carried a show
er bouquet of yellow roses and maid
en- hair ferns. Master Thelwyn-
Minter, as the dear little ring bearer,
was the next to enter, was smartly
clad in white suit and bore the ring
on silver tray.
| The brides mother was dame of
honor and came next. She wore a
gown of soft white charmeuse drap-
ed in lace over ACCORDION plating.
crystal ornaments incrusted the
bodice and she carried an arm full of
yellow roses and ferns.
The bride entered with her father
who gave her in marriage and was
met at the improvised altar by the
groom with his best man, DR.. John
5. Morgan. When the party had been
grouped, the Rev. J. F. Matheson,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church at Union, read the ceremony
and united these two lives, using the
beautiful ring service. The brides
gown was of pearl white charmeuse
with drapery of Chantilly lace,
caught with pearl buckles. The bod
ice was lavishly trimmed with real
lace and the long court train was
hand-embroidered in seed pearls.
Her bridal veil which fell like mist
over the shimmering white robe was
fashioned in Juliet cap and caught
to her dark hair with a string of
pearls. Her flowers were brides
roses and feathery ferns tied with
tulle ends. The guests occupied all
available space filling the rooms and
piazzas, everywhere view of the
wedding group could be had. A sug-
gestion of the old South character
lied the occasion in the presence of
the old family servants who came
for miles around to see their young
"mistis" married.
Immediately following the cere-
mony and informal recetion was
held and Mr.. and Mrs. Adams re-
ceived the congratulations of the en-
tire company. Old fashioned pound
cake and ices were served.
