The San Francisco call., 1908-04-26

Schultz and Harold Law were married
in St Luke's church by Rev. Edward
Morgan. The bride, who is the oldest
daughter of Mrs. George Schultz, looked
her prettiest in her handsome wedding
gown of embroidered satin and the long
bridal veil that fastened with orange
blossoms. She carried orchids. Her
sister, also one of society's prettiest
girls, who was her maid of honor. was
in pale pink and carried bride roses,
and the three bridesmaids, Miss Enid
Gregg, Miss Helen Grey and Miss Clar-
isse Lyon, looked charming in pale blue
silk chiffon gowns with smoke gray
carnations. The color scheme was un
usual but extremely pretty. After the
wedding there was large reception at
Mrs. Schultz house and then Mr.. Law
and his bride left for three weeks in
the southern part of the state.
On the next day "wednesday society
learned for the first time of the en-
gagement of Miss Gertrude de-Smith
and Baldwin Wood, which has been sus-
pected for a long time. Since Miss
Hyde Smiths first appearance in So
ciety, three years ago, the admiration
of the young attorney has been an open
secret and it was thought that the en-
gagement might be announced at her
sisters wedding to Harold Dillingham;
six weeks ago. However, the matter
late in the summer had not the usual
intimate friend and her intimate friend
gone through the usual process that
leads to the telling of secrets.
Miss Edith Browns engagement was
also announced on Wednesday by her
parents, Colonel and Mrs. Edward t.
Brown. Her marriage to Lieutenant
George E. Turner will take place very
quietly May 8, the day before Colonel
and Mrs. Brown sail for the Philip
pines. Not even the young ladys most
intimate friends could assume for an
instant that this bit of news was ex-
pected, for the young people have kept
their secret so well that not a hint has
crept outside of the family circles. So
ciety here has been much regretting
Miss Browns departure, and it Will be
a great satisfaction to the younger set
TO have her take her place here as Mrs.
George Turner. She has grown to be
great favorite during the last few
months and is greatly in demand for
dinners and dances.
The third of the weeks enga agements
was that of Miss Beatrice Fife and
Captain Edmond Shortlidge, which was
and so successfully denied that all talk
about it had died away, and not even
the most casual surmises preceded
the announcement Captain Shortlidge
spends all Of his time. nearly, with the
Fifes in San Mateo, and plans for the
wedding are already under way.
On Wednesday the afore mentioned
three weddings divided the social at
tention, several of society's girls at
ing a telegram to the bride in the
third case. Miss Georgia Spieker was
the recipient OF most of the kilograms,
for her wedding was very small one
and only witnessed by few relatives
and, am told. not even a single friend
Everything about It was as informal
| as possible, the bride and her mother
and father and a little group Of cousins
and the groom and his people, about
six or seven in number, simply strolling
out to the rose arbor that is at the end
of the Spieker garden, at 1 o'clock
where the archbishop performed the
simple ceremony. The bride wore an
exquisitely pretty hand embroidered
frock of sheer linen and carried or
chids. She is a tall, graceful girl with
masses of fluffy hair and exquisite
skin. After the wedding they all went
| back to the house and found a dainty
wedding breakfast waiting on one OF
the wide porches. Altogether the af-
1 fair was one of the simplest, most ap-
propriate, sweetest weddings of the
year and the bride was subjected to
none of the confusion and excitement
and fatigue that so often make a girl

Miss Spieker was unattended, as was
the groom, but the bride was preceded
by three small boys. dressed as pages
and making a picturesque little trio In
their white and silver. Mr.. Drums two

of these and the third was their cousin,

their mother, who was a sweet and
gracious woman, several years ago, and
since then have divided their time be-

little Drum lads will still stay with
Mrs. Hitchcock for the greater part OF
the time, but. of course, they will be
frequent visitors at the Ross Valley
home, where Mr.. Drum and his bride
will spend the summer.
