Folsom-Bass Wedding Cards Out
Cards were received yesterday by friends in Pensacola to the Folsom-Bass wedding, which takes place on October 30th, at the home of the bride’s sister, Mrs. James Forbes, in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. The invitations read as follows:
“Mr. Oscar Leo Bass requests the pleasure of your company at the marriage of his daughter, Cornelia, to Mr. Charles Foolen Folsom on the evening of Wednesday, the thirtieth of October, one thousand nine hundred and twelve, at half after eight o’clock, 1037 South Main Street, Hopkinsville, Kentucky.”
Miss Bass has for some months made her home with her sister in Hopkinsville, and has been much missed here, where she was a great favorite in society. Combined with unusual beauty, she possesses a cordial and winning manner, with a dignity that adds much to her charm, and for several seasons was one of the most popular girls in society here. To her striking blonde beauty she adds the distinction of knowing just what is best suited to her type, and is always perfectly gowned. Her sister, Mrs. Forbes, from whose home she is to be married, was Miss Dixie Bass, and the two sisters are a most decided and unusual contrast. Mrs. Forbes is typically Southern, with brunette coloring, lovely dark hair and eyes and a verve and animation that add much to her attractiveness. The Bass sisters were among the maids of honor at the court of His Highness, King Prisous, on several occasions at the Carnival balls, and were always much sought here, and it has been with much regret that Pensacola has given them back to Kentucky, which is the state of their birth.
