House, by Party Vote, Passes
Simmons Senatorial Bill.

Jefferson City, Feb.-By a strict
party vote, the Simmons bill, to
elect the caucus nominee for United
States senator on the day Of general
election, passed the House Eleven
members failed to answer to the roll
call, the msi siority OF whom were
Democrats.
Both Democrats and Republican,
had caucused on the measure. The
Republicans were opposed to it, hop.
ing that some controversy might
arise In the Democratic ranks after
the day OF the general state prim ary
and that some OF the Laglsla ture
candidates might be defeated as a
result.
The bill as passed morally binds
the members OF the Legislature to
support the candidate for United
States senator nominated on the
same day that they are elected.
This is not the bill recommended
In the message Of Gov. Folk. He
recommended the nomination be
made on the day Of the general state
primary, but the Democrats IN ca u.

for all of the candidates for United

suits with straw hats, and the bride
and her attendants were all in white,
without one touch of color. The brides
maids also gave an added touch of pie
turesquef1ess to the scene by carrying
each tall staff, crowned with huge
bunch of white carnations. tied with
big bows and ends of white tulle. The
wedding breakfast was a gay affair,
there being toasts and speeches botn
amusing and interesting. The brides
table was within doors, but many of
the other tables were placed on the
broad veranda. The brides bouquet OF
white orchids was caught by her
cousin, Miss Dorothea Coon who was
one of the bridesmaids. Miss Amy
Bassett, another bridesmaid. found the
ring; Miss Edith Metcalf repeated her
success of the evening before and
again secured the money, while the
fateful thimble was again rendered
harmless by falling to Mrs Marshall
Wotkyns, who was formerly Miss Edit,
Redding, and who journeyed from her
home in Pasadena to act as matron OF
honor.
Later in the afternoon of the same
day Miss Louise Redington was one
of the prettiest, daintiest brides of
this or any other season. when her
marriage to DIR. A. W. Hewlett was
celebrated at Trinity church. This was
one sof the prettiest weddings of the
group. There is an association in the
minds of every one, so firmly estab-
lished linking together that the origin
is lost in the nlists of antiquity, of
June roses and brides, and the COM
bination is irresistible. Miss Reding-
ton was wise enough to realize this
and her wedding was overlooking with
roses, which were, of course, pink as
they should have been. The decora-
tons were largely of pink roses both
in the church and the house, and the
bridesmaids gowns were of filmy
white silk organdie fiowered with soft
hued pink roses. Their wide leghorn
hats, which were most becoming, were
trimmed with roses and they carried
shower bouquets of the pink bridesmaid
roses. The reception was a very small
affair. only the more Intimate friends
being hidden there, so the cake WAS
given to- the men as we'll as the girls.
AS a result John NJ. Young received the
ring, which indicates an early marriage
