MAY YOUNG
WEDDING
Charming Affair At
Brides Oakland
Home.


the Young-McNab wedding:
OF course the great social event of
the week on this side of the bay was
the wedding of DR.. Thomas Reed Nc
Nab of Los Angeles and Miss May
Young, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alex
ander Young of Rosecrest.
The round of gayety began with
luncheon given for twenty guests at the
Palm Garden of the Palace Hotel by
Mrs. Henry Resented. The guests of
honor were Miss May Young and Mrs.
William H. Richardson, formerly Miss
Bessie Gage. The luncheon was ex-
ceedingly picturesque, and the twenty
guests were seated at one large table,
which was beautifully decorated, the
center-piece being a superb study OF
pink bridesmaid roses.
On Monday evening Mrs. A. l..
Stone gave ''the dinner dance" which
was one of the jolIiest affairs of the
week. The dinner dance is all the rage
at Newport, and Mrs. Stone always has
the latest in the lines of entertainment,
direct from the social swim as one finds
it in New York and Newport. Mrs.
Stone is a very fascinating hostess. She
takes infinite trouble to amuse her
guests, and she has the rare knack of
succeeding.
She was beautifully gowned on Mon
day evening in pink panne satin, artis-
tically trimmed in lace.
The table was a study in pale pink
bridesmaid roses, and the menu cards
were done in water colors, each card
showing dainty wedding scene. Short
ly after the dinner the guests hidden to
the dance arrived, and the gaily decorat-
Ell ballroom showed merry throng of
dancers During the evening there was
vaudeville-the participants being pro-
fessionals, and one of them doing clog
dance, inspiring to the last degree. There
was the funniest possible game of "musi-
cal chairs" for prizes, and long after
midnight, the jolly Virginia reel, in
which every one joined heartily closed
the festivities of the evening.
Among the beautiful gowns of the
evening were those of the Misses Young,
the Misses Oliver, Miss Anne McNab,
Mrs. John Valentine, Mrs. George S.
Wheaton, Mrs Edward Brayton, Miss
Ruth Kales, Miss Marietta Havens, Mrs.
Maxwell Taft, Mrs. George McNear Jr.
DINNER TO WEDDING PARTY.
The pretty bride-elect, Miss May
Young, gave the dinner to the wedding
party on Tuesday evening at Rosecrest.
The table showed the most delightful
scheme in French color effects, the color
tones being pink and blue The flowers
were beautiful pink bridesmaid roses,
and the blue tones were carried out in
blue tulle, daintily gathered into true
lovers knots. An elaborate menu was
served, and the dinner was made most
enjoyable by many happy surprises Miss
Bertha Young had provided gifts for
each of the guests. For each girl there
was very dainty silver vase with the
date inscribed on it. For each of the
men there was dainty silver loving
cup.
After the dinner, the bride gave the
wedding favors to her attendants. They |
were exquisite necklaces in turquoise
and pearl. 1t was very dainty dinner
and was very enjoyable.
STORMY NIGHT FOR WEDDING.
Thursday evening represented one of
the stormiest nights of the entire year,
but the storm that ragged with such vio- |
lence outside, made all more attractive |
the beautiful home at Rosecrest, which |
had been superbly decorated in honor
OF the wedding of Miss May Young and |
DR.. McNab.
Shortly after S,o'clock the guests be- |
gan to arrive, and while they were
waiting for the wedding party, there |
were many EXPLANATIONS of pleasure |
over the beautiful decorations of the
rooms.
The decoration followed a wonder |
fully dainty scheme-it was all outlined |
in the feathery asparagus fern. 1t was
the motif for the decoration and appear

and airy effect. very graceful indeed.
Everywhere. intertwined in the aspara-
gus fern were Cecil Bruner roses,
charming little Baby" roses. There was
a touch OF sentiment about these same
roses. Miss May Young was the baby
of the family and DR.. McNab was the
child of large family, and
SO Baby roses seemed the appropriate
flower for the dainty decorations. And
II was against a background of Cecil
Bruner roses that the wedding party
stood for the important ceremony.
The living room showed a very strik-
ing scheme of decoration The color
scheme was in pink, worked out with
great pink tiger lilies. pink tulle and
large bow-knots of pink ribbon
