MISS WALLACE
BECOMES BRIDE
OF A SOLDIER
By Sally Sharp.

The wedding yesterday Of Miss Mary
Bright Wallace and Lieutenant Gilbert
McElroy, Of the Thirteenth Infantry,
nuptiaI affairs of midsummer. It's set
ting was exquisite. for not in the whole
city is there so quaint and beautiful a
little chapel as that Of the Swedenbor-
CLANS. with its arbor of vines leading
through the garden into the little
sanctuary.
Within, embers cracked on the
hearth, candles glowed from the
sconces on the walls, and forest treas
ures, pine boughs, cones and mountain
daisies made the air redolent of sum-
mer.
Flags were draped in the corners Of
the chapel above the reading desk, and
rather singularly-were the stars and
stripes draped upon the prie dieu. upon
which the bride and groom knelt to
avow their loves.
The bride, a tall, slender maiden of
dainty coloring. was gowned in Nile
green, wearing a picturesque hat with
white plumes, exactly suiting her style.
She was attended by Miss Florence
Hay OF Fruitvale as honor maid, who
wore a fetching frock of pale blue with
a white picture hat. Then came the
stunning bevy Of ribbon-bearers, all
gowned in white and wearing white
hats, though each differently designed.
IT was they who held the ribbon bands,
red, white and blue, that formed the
bridal aisle. Maidenhair ferns were
borne by this pretty guard of honor,
composed of Mrs. William Hawley,
Mrs. J. Gibson Taylor, Mrs. George
Williamson, Mrs. c. o. Edwards, Mrs.
Lottie Patton, Miss Frances Grow,
Miss Mabel Reed and Miss Halle Kim
ball.
The ceremony was read by the Rev.
Mr.. Worcester. Captain Truly served
the groom as best man, both Of whom
were in full dress uniform and looking
very brave.
among the guests, some very smart
too, was there a plenitude of gallant
officers in full panoply of gold lace.
The young people left after brief con-
gratulations for the nuptial trip. On
their return they will reside on Angel
Island, where the gallant Thirteenth is
