few intimate friends of both parties
being present; MIR. Edward Burgoyne
and Mr.. Glen w. Hack, a brother of the
bride, were the ushers. The bride
was attended by two little girls, Miss
Jessie Baker and Miss Pearl Thornton,

were both dressed in dotted Swiss, made
low neck and short sleeves, with China
silk sashes, each carrying basket of
flowers. The bride was dressed in a

trimmed with vaille silk and cut steel,
with hat and gloves to match, and car

the train for Coronado Beach to remain
a short time, and will then return to Los
Angeles, their future home.

crutches, others limped with canes, but

of the stomach, and the fresh ocean
breeze seemed to give everyone
an appetite like sawmill.

tin cup holding about a pint of coffee
was beside every plate. The fare was
tempting enough for anv one with health
