Scene of Rare Beauty
A most delightful musical program
was given during the ceremony by
several of Los Angeles best known
musicians, and when the bridal party
entered the scene with it's combined
harmony of color and sound was beau
tiful. At the front was a large bank
of foliage and from behind this, where
the musicians were stationed, soft
music came forth into the body of the
church, which was redolent with the
perfume of California's sweetest flow
erS.
Overhead and at the sides ribbons
and blossoms were arranged against
the dark green of the festoons of ferns
and smilaX, while in the main part of
the church was the immense number
of guests, handsomely gowned women
contrasting their vari-colored and soft
Nsheened gowns with their somber-
dressed escorts.
Down the main and side aisles the
bridal party, with the softened light
of the stained glass windows falling
upon them, came measuring their steps
to the soft strains of Lohengrin's we'd
ding march.
Brides Robe Is Beautiful
A hush fell upon every one as the
daintily gowned bridesmaids walked
down between the white satin ribbon
streamers which were stretched down
the pews and it was not until the
bride had reached the altar that the
people Dreatned again.
There were eight bridesmaids and
they walked singly, four In each side
aisle to the altar, where they met
Miss Charline Coulter and Miss Annis
Van Nuys led, followed by Miss Bertha
Pollard and Miss Elsie Laux; after
them Miss Alice Harpham and Miss
Adele Brodtbeck, and the last were
