Wallace—Sparks
Miss Ada Sparks, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marlou Sparks, and Mrs. James H. Wallace were married last Thursday evening at 8 o'clock at the bride's home, 2601 Linwood boulevard. The library where the ceremony was performed was decorated with pink roses and palms, American Beauty roses and the hal and parlor were dressed with nasturtiums and autumn foliage. The bride was attended by Miss Julia Watts, of Louisiana, Mo., and Miss Ethel Sparks, who wore white Paris muslin gowns and carried white roses. The bride's robe was an exquisitely fashioned silk mull and her flowers were brides roses. The music was a particularly pleasing feature of the wedding and included tow songs, on "Thy Blue Eyes," rendered by Mr. Dudley Eaton, and the other, "If I Were a Bee," by Mrs. Newman Newell, of Marshall, Mo. The bride and groom entered the parlor to the strains of Mendelssohn's march, played by Miss Eulalia Conway. Mrs. Newman Newell, Miss Ethel Van Stone and Mrs. A. J. Graves, all of Marshall, Mo., and Miss Julia Watts, of Louisiana, Mo., were the out-of-town guests to attend the wedding.
