where a wedding supper was served
after the ceremony, artistic table ar
rangements in pink We're used.
Miss Walton was attended by her
sister, Miss Lucille Walton. as maid of
honor, and her brother. Winsor Walton,
assisted the groom as best man.
An aisle through which the bridal
party passed to the altar was formed
by white ribbons held up by Agnes
Hopper, Rowena Moore and Wilde and
Agnes Arnell. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Hugh K. Walker of

lar as in Los Angeles.
The ceremony last evening was wit
messed only by relatives and a few
near friends.
