MISS TURNBULL
BETROTHED TO
NEW YORK MAN
BY Sally Sharp.

A queer little chap is Cupid and
quite after the heart Of Russell Sage;
he doesn't believe in taking vacations
ton is the betrothal Of Miss Mary
Turnbull, the clever daughter of Mr..
and Mrs Walter Turnbull, to George
c. Murphy of New York. Miss Turn
bull possesses the rather rare duality
of brains and beauty, a degree in med
icine being but one Of her many ac-
quirements. And as for Mr.. Murphy
he, too, is a college man, and a clever
one, having plucked all sorts of hon
ors during his career at Columbia,
from which he was graduated in en-
gineering.
That profession, however interesting
and lucrative, has something Of rest
less sound. San Francisco having been
robbed of many of its fairest daugh-
ters by these engineering folk. But
Mr.. Murphy AYERS that his bride shall
not be taken from the home of her
childhood, at least for some time, so
the friends of the handsome bride-to-
be have naught but congratulations to
offer.
A charming home wedding occurred
last evening, when pretty Grace Pin
ney became the bride of Arthur w.
Johnson at the home of the brides
parents, DR.. and Mrs. H. Pinney. The
ceremony was performed by DR..
Hemphill Of the Calvary Presbyterian
Church in the presence Of close
friends and relatives.
The bride, wearing an exquisite
gown of white crepe de chine and rose
point, was attended by two college
friends, Miss Queen Lamberson and
Miss Anna Springer of Palo Alto, both
of whom wore smart frocks of white.
The bride wore soft veil of tulle and
carried a shower bouquet of orange
blossoms.
The groom was attended by his
brothers. t. T. Johnson and A S.
Johnson. After the ceremony a re-
ception was held, to which $50 invi-
tations had been issued.
Yesterday morning at 8 o'clock
Miss Edith Norcross became the bride
/ Of John L. Howard Jr., Rev. Burr NJ
! Weeden Of st. Luke's officiating.
Miss Jean Howard and her brother,
Harry Howard, attended the happy
couple and d. C. Norcross gave the
bride away. An informal reception fol-
lowed the church ceremony at the
brides home. Mr. and Mrs. Howard
will enjoy a sojourn at Tahoe before
| taking up their temporary residence
in the Howard mansion on Vernon
Heights, Oakland
! Miss Norcross, the daughter of Mrs.
| d. C. Norcross, is a winsome maid,
chic and pretty. And not less favored
is the groom, who, as the son of Mr..
and Mrs. John L. Howard of Oakland,
/ is a popular chap, equally we'll known
in his business and social relations.
After the return of the young people
Mrs. Howard mere will give a recep-
ton in their honor
! Stunning Susan Bixby was we'd yes
| terday to DIR. Ernest Bryant in the
land of orange blossoms. The wires
were kept hummirg yesterday, bear
ing messages of congratulation to the
fair bride and the thrice lucky groom.
The ceremony took place in the pres
ence of few friends at the ranch of
Frederick Bixby, her brother.
Miss Bessie Palmer of Oakland was
in attendance upon the bride, and
surely must have been captivating
honor maid.

Mary Bright daughter of Mrs. James

Swedenborgian church, corner of
