Miss Wilhelmina Busch Is married.
Just at dusk last evening while the
California twilight was streaming in
through the stained glass windows of
the most picturesque of California
churches Lieutenant Edward A.
Scharrer of Stuttgart, Germany, and
Miss Wilhelmlna Busch, daughter of
Adolphus Busch, multi-millionaire of
st. Louis, uttered the impressive Epis-
copal service that made them man and
wife.
The Church of the Angels, nesting
in the Garvanza hills, has been the
scene of many beautiful ceremony,
but never one so exquisitely simple and
at the same time so beautiful as this
which united gallant lieutenant from
far away Germany and a fair daughter
of Missouri.
The rarest flowers OF the Pasadena
gardens were brought to deck the little
church and they were used with a
lavish hand indeed, for hardly an inch
Of the woodwork was visible through
the network of blossoms and ferns.
From chancel to vestibule and from
wall to wall the edifice was literally
covered with fragrant Easter lilies,
bright-eyed marguerites and waxen
roses and carnations.
Altar Banked High
The altar was banked with Easter
lilies and the window easements were
heaped with white roses and ferns.
Garlands of smilax studded with
marguerites were looped over the high
arched windows and large and grace

at the entrance to each pew with big
butterfly bows of white tulle and the
chancel rail was hidden with the white
marguerites and filmy tulle.
A canopy of smilax and white satin
ribbon was arranged over the baptis-
NAL font.
Pews occupied by relatives were
marked off with streamers of white
satin ribbon.
At 4 o'clock Organist Wilde began q
program of organ music and at that
same hour two liveried footmen at the
door began receiving the guests who
arrived in carriages and automobiles.
At 4:30 o'clock the last of the guests
was seated and the carriages carrying
members of the family and some of the
Busch servants began to arrive.
The Entrance
A few minutes later the beautiful
young bride marched to the altar pre-
ceded by the young women and men of
the surpliced choir.
She marched up the aisle leaning on
the arm of her father, and before her
walked her charming little bridesmaid,
Miss Lille Magnus. AS the choir
walk the singers sang "The Breath
That Breathed Ger Eden" and the
last notes of the beautiful old hymn
were dying away as the young girl
met the man whose wife she was to
become.
Assisting Lieutenant Scharrer was
Mrs Adolphus Busch, who took the
place of best man, after the Ger
man custom. Standing with them also
was the tiny flower girl, Dorothy Mag
nus.
The Bridal Toilette
The bride presented a rarely beauti-
full picture. She is a handsome girl,
with large blue-gray eyes and masses
of dark brown hair, which was drawn
back from her face in a simple pompa-
dour. A long tulle veil, edged with
real lace and reaching to the bottom
of a long train was caught with cor
onet of orange blossoms.
The bridal robe of soft white satin
was made in princess fashion and
fitted the graceful figure perfectly.
The court train was ornamented with
