SOCIETY,".
PoMpToN, N. ]

The great society event of Los Angeles,
of which people have talked and talked
again for the past six weeks, took place
last night at the Redondo hotel when
Miss Kathleen McCook, daughter of the
commanding general of the department
of Arizona, became the wife OF Charles
Craighead of Dayton, o. The weather
was far from favorable, but society put
on it's best bib and tucker and turned
out to bid the young couple "Bon voy-
age"
The day was dark and lowering as the
train pulled out of the Santa Fe depot
at the foot of First street. Flashes OF
rain ratified upon the windows OF the
coaches, but there was no end of merry
laughter within, broken by the inces-
SAINT chatter of the BRIDES young lady
friends, each one of whom wanted to
speak first. Manager Wade's private
car was on the end of the train, and
there Mrs. Wade and Mrs. Hynes re-
ceived dozen or two of their friends,
while the sterner sex congregated in the
forward end. When the train halted at
the head of the long Redondo wharf the
sun sank into the sea in blaze of glory.
Every purple cloud had fringe of gold,
| and the BRIDES friends accepted it as g
good omen for her future.
1t was such rush as had not been
| seen for months. Manager Lynch and
three clerks were at the desk, assigning
sleeping quarters to such of the guests
| as proposed to remain over night. There
was hustle (some of the folks carried
them there) for about 20 minutes, and
! then all was as quiet as before the train
arrived.
The guests were chiefly from army
circles, together with their immediate
relatives and friends who were visiting
them. The following is list of the
