files of 1.-The Hoot," the paper of the

issued invitations for the marriage Of
their daughter Frances and Mr.. Will
| liam J. Rickenbacher Wednesday
evening, June 26, at their home, 14O1
West street.
Wedding echoes: Everybody agreed
that the bride last night had the best
looking veil they ever saw AS a usual
thing a brides veil looks like the Old
Scratch but Miss HerbSt's was very
prettily ARRANGED and very becoming.
Her hair, Iuxuriant and black as a
ravens wing was exQuisitely dressed
and the contrast between it's black lus-
ter and the white of the veil and couture
flowers was effective. Mrs.
Snyder's yellow mesSaline matron-of-
honor gown and the beautiful pale blue
lace trimmed crepe gown worn by Miss
Lillian Foster were voted the prettieSt
toilets at the wedding, which was nota-
BILE for the number of beautiful new
toilets. Miss Elvia Millspaugh
and Miss Helen Otis, together, caught
the brides bouquet. Double wedding
in the fall. Great contest for the incon-
spicuous positions of grooms.
The wedding sake lottery turned out all
wrong: Mrs. Albert T. Reid drew the
thimble, which indicates spinsterhood
and the ring, which tells who will be the
next to marry, was in one of the four
pieces left after the cake was cut and
distributed. Miss Helen Quinton got the
dime, which promises wealth.
The brides gifts to her ribbon girls were
gold bracelets. She gave her matron OF
honor gloves, and her maid of honor
silver pocketbook. Mr.. Thompson gave
his best man and attendants pearl scarf
pins.
Dr. Harry E. Lyman who is spending
the summer in Pasadena, California, is
playing in the state rogue tournament
which began June IL. Rogue" it must
be added for the benefit of the unen- |
lightened, is a scientific game of croquet
and DR.. Lyman is an enthusiast.
A new man in town is described by
those who have seen him IS the best |
looking man north of the equator"
He is six feet and half tall and his |
shoulders measure four feet and half |
"a
gray gloves and That Settles 1t.
Miss Helen McClintock will give a
luncheon Saturday at the home of her |
Jeanette Ware. Miss Dorothy Wilson |
will give a luncheon Monday for Miss
Ware The invitations for both lunch
cons are limited to the girls of the
bridal party.
A young chap who asked girl to
go driving yesterday took out a frisky
young colt but got cold feet after he
arrived at the girls house and turned
around and went back home. The
girl waited all afternoon for him but
he never telephoned or sent word and
she missed an automobile ride, too.
So there!
With the other girls of their set out
of town the two debutants who ill be
left with all the men to entertain
ought to be able to put in almost as
a summer as they could at
a fashionable resort where Is there is
nobody but anaemic Rah-Rah boys
and sour old dyspepsics.
