HOME WEDDING SOLEMNIZED LAST TUESDAY EVENING
A very pretty and charmingly simple home wedding was celebrated Tuesday evening when Miss Zola Roberson, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mart Roberson, 2111 Ninth Street, became the bride of Mr. Reuben Gracey of this city. The ceremony was witnessed by relatives and a few very intimate friends of the contracting parties, all details of the wedding being marked by a pleasing informality. The guests were met by Misses Gladys and Jennie Roberson sisters of the bride and at the appointed hour the bride and groom entered from the dining room, taking their place under an arch of ferns and flowers, to the strains of the wedding march, played by Mrs. C. R. []rtsook. They were met at the arch by Rev. A. L. Andrews who pronounced the words that made them man and wife. Before the ceremony Mrs. N. M. Clifford, who was in excellent voice, sang "O Promise Me.” The bride was attired in a frock of white lace and wore a large picture hat, effectively trimmed in pink, which set off her brunette type of beauty to perfection. She is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mart Roberson one of the pioneer families of this section, who some years ago moved to New Mexico, returning to Wichita Falls about four years ago. She is a graduate of the local high school, class of 1913 and is an unusually pretty and attractive you lady. The groom comes from a prominent North Texas family, coming here several years ago from Petrol. He is a valued employe of the North Texas Gas Company of this place and has many friends who with those of the bride will unite in congratulations. Following the ceremony the guests were served refreshing mint punch in the dining room, Mr. and Mrs. Gracey departing immediately, for their home, 1302 Broad, which was prepared for their reception. There they found the Wesley Girls, of which club the bride is a member, who constituted a self appointed receiving line and an informal wedding reception was held. Numerous handsome gifts were received, betokening the popularity of the young people.
