Mrs Eleanor D Martin, Of san Fran
cisco, Cal, occurred at 1880 today It
was the first society wedding Of the sea
son. and was no small function IN So
ciety circles.
For more than an hour before the time
set for the service. handsome traps were
arriving at the church. and leaving their
occupants. who had been bid 10 the we'd
ding of just plain Lily and Peter, these
being the names by which the couple
were known n society, and those by
which the brides parents seemed 70
wish them to be known in the future,
for the frills Of the signatures to the
marriage license were totally ignored
upon the invitatictlB.
Features Of the occasion, aside from
the display Of society. was the attend
anee OF two matro9s OF honor. and the
dependence entirely upon an orchestra
for music. though the ceremony was in
q church, the organ OF which remained
silent by special order.
The ceremony was performed in St
Joseph's Roman Catholic Church. q
structure which is old. and extensive
repairs on il had not been kept up Thus
some uncompIimentaIy things we're said
Of the ediice as a place for holding a
society wedding.
Mr. Martin emphauically denies.
though, that he has employed men to
: make the structure presentabIe, and the
fact is. that il is not as dilapidated as
report has made il appear It is true
E that a few men have been engaged for
day or two in touching up some Of the
fseseo where It has peeled of, and put
ting little paint on in worn places
while the edifice has undergone a COM
plete cleaning within the past day or
two. as might have been anticipated.
Today the arrangements Of masses Of
tropical plants and flowers made the
scene one quite befitting q gorgeous
wedding

society turning out very fully, and al
most every family Of Importance was
represented
