Bass-Allred
Beautiful Home Wedding This Afternoon
A beautiful home wedding was solemnized at 12-30 Thursday at the hospitable home of the bride?s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard D. Bass, at the corner of John and Pine streets, where Mr. Charles Arthur Allred, of Greensboro, a popular young gentleman of that city, and highly esteemed for this sterling worth by all who know him, led to Hymeneal altar their lovely daughter Miss Marie, who enjoys the cordial admiration of all our people.
The happy ceremony was extremely impressive for its very simplicity, and was witnessed by a goodly number of the immedaite relatives and more intimate friends of the contracting parties, Rev. W.L. Cunninggim, pastor of St. Paul M.E. church, officiating.
The fair young bride never looked so lovely before, gowned in a most becoming traveling suit of castor broad-cloth, with hat and gloves to match. She carried bridesoses and ferns, and was preceded by her sweet little niece, Evelyn Bass, the 2-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Loren Bass, who gracefully carried a bouquet of large white roses, while the groom?s only attendant was his brother, Mr. Lacey Allred, the wedding march being rendered on the piano by Miss Margaret Giddens.
The social feature of the joyous occasion was the reception at the bride?s home last night, which was a most brilliant event and largely frequented by her numerous friends in this city. The home was lavishly and artistically decorated, the color schemed being green and white in the receiving parlor, greena nd red in the back parlor, and pink and white in the dining room, where the guests were served with most delicious viands and dainties.
The arriving guests were met in the hall by Miss Hazel and Mr. Norwood Bass, and ushered into the parlor, where the reeiving party was composed of Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Bass, Miss Marie Bass, Mr. Chas. Al Allfred, and Mr. and Mrs. Loren C. Bass.
Mrs. L. D. Bass was gowned in green crepe de chine, lace and diamonds; the bride-elect, in white china silk and opals; Mrs. Loren Bass, in pink silk, lace, pearls and diamonds.
Miss Mary Emma Giddens, gowned in white organdy, presided over the punch bowl, with her characteristic brightness and generous hospitality.
The dining room was presided over by Miss Margaret Giddnes, gowned in green aeoline, lace, pearls and diamonds, assisted by Miss Hazel Bass, in blue nun?s veiling and white ribbons.
Not the least attractive feature of the enjoyable reception was the enjoyable reception was the beautiful display of bridal presents, attesting, in their number and costliness, to the esteem in which the happy young couple are held by their many friends, both here and elsewhere.
Immediately after the ceremony, this afternoon, the newly weeded pair took the westbound train for their home in Greensboro, amid the good-byes and good wishes of a large delegation of relatives and friends who gathered at the depot to see them off.
