Meriwether, Oct. 16.-The old
Baptist church at Clark's Hill was
the scene of pretty marriage when
Miss Katherine Adams became the
bride of John W. Vance, October S.
1t was just IS years since her pa
rents stood in the same place and at
the same hour, to pledge their life
long troth. Stately palms with soft
ferns made a green background for
the Southern smilax, which climbed
to the tall ceiling and fell in grace
full sprays from the windows and
circled the columns to the floor.
Pedestals holding circles of pink
lighted candles and floor baskets fill
ed with pink carnations and ferns
stood on each side of the flower
arched entrances to the altar.
Promptly at 10 o'clock Mendels-
sohn's wedding march was rendered
for the entrance Of the bridal party,
which was led by the ushers, DR.. j.
B. Adams, Ulyss Hines, John Nina
rik and Sam Adams. They were fol-
lowed by the matrons of honor, Mes
danes Hugh M. Adams, Eugene Ad-
ans, and John w. Adams, with their
husbands, the brides brothers. Next
came the maids, Misses Eugenia
Middleton, Winnie Davis Smith and
Margarite Perrie, attended by Frank
Adams, F. L. Middleton and Ludlow
Adams. The couples separated at the
vestibule entrance to the two aisles,
coming singly to the altar. Next en-
tered the maid of. honor, Miss Ella
Mays OF Greenwood. Little Margaret
Gambrell was flower girl and carried
on her arm a silver basket of pink
snapdragons. She walked just in
front Of the bride, who entered with
her uncle, who gave her in marriage.
The bridegroom, with his best man,
Robb Luke, went up the opposite
aisle, preceded by little Bob Adams,
who bore the ring under a spray of
orange blossoms on a white satin pill
low.
Before the ceremony a program of
music was given by Tom Perrin on
the piano, accompanied by Mrs. Eu-
genia Luke Gumbert on NE violin.
During the beautiful ring ceremony,
performed by the Rev. Leon Press
ley of the A. R. P. church, soft melo-
dies were played.
The bride was handsome in sty-
lish suit of blue duvetyn, with collar
of mole, the same tone being carried
out in hat and gloves and shoes. The
blouse worn with this suit was es-
pecially beautiful, of white crepe
and baby Irish lace.
| Immediately after the ceremony
wedding breakfast was served at
"Bon Haven" home of the brides
parents. The color tone Of. pink and
white was artistically carried out in
floral decorations Of the giftroom,
living room and dining rooms. The
brides table, seating the bridal par
ty of FL, was lighted by pink candles
in silver holders. Adjoining the CEN
ter was the brides cake. The third
tier symbolized the happy occasion
by the tiny bride and bridegroom un-
der floral canopy and the wedding
bell. Pink streamers fell from the
center chandelier to the place cards,
single sweet peas.
Amid shower of rice and good
wishes of friends Mr.. and Mrs.
Vance left for short wedding jour-
ney to Washington, after which
they will be at home to their friends
in Carlisle, Penn, where Mr.. Vance
holds a responsible government 2o--
ition.
Mrs. Vance is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Adams of Meriweth-
er. She is a young girl of unusual
charm and popularity, and her
friends regret that her marriage will
take her away.
