HOME OF BRIDE
THE SCENE OF A
QUIET WEDDING

Last night as the town clock tolled
the hour of Miss Florence Callaghan,
fair daughter of Mrs. Daniel CAL
laghan, became the bride of ]. Vincent
de Laveaga. Owing to the deli
cate health of the mother of the
bride the nuptial service was per-
formed by his Grace Archbishop Rior-
dan at her residence. Though it was
much regretted that a wedding at the
high altar Of the cathedral was not
possible the solemnity and beauty of
the service was not perceptibly marred,
for the home was made glad with the
blossoms of spring, great branches OF
budding bloom spreading above and
beyond like the cherry gardens of the
Far East.
In the drawing-room, beneath
roseate bower, the twain were made
one, the solemn ceremony having been
witnessed by relatives and few lntl-
mate friends Attended solely by the
winsome Miss Mabel Hogg, gowned in
pink chiffon cloth and bearing pink
roses. the bride presented bewitching
picture in her nuptial robe of embroid-
cred crepe, with exquisite settings OIL
duchesse and rose point lace. From
of tulle and in her arms she bore lilies
of the valley-sweet symbols of con-
stancy.
The groom was attended by Edward
de IaVeaga, a brother. Mr.. de LaVeaga
is a clever fellow, a University OF Call
fernia graduate and is rated as one OF
the Wealthiest young men in the city.
The destination of the young people,
who will leave this morning for their
post-nuptial trip. is, of course, secret
locked deep in their breasts. On their
return they will reside in this city

Outdoor Art League took place on last
Monday afternoon at 1916 Clay street.
