Announcement is made Of the mar

William M. Kinney, which took place
Monday evening at the family home or
the bride at 237 East Twenty-seventh
street, Rev. B. C. Cory, pastor of Vim
| cent Methodist church, officiating in
the presence of about forty friends.
No formal announcement of their
engagement had been made by the
young people, and 1t was ostensibly
for this purpose that Miss Waterman
invited about forty friends to be her
guests on the evening referred to, but
q few of them became suspicious and
did little Sherlock Holmes Work,
thereby discovering that marriage
license had been procured by their
prospective hostess and her fiance late
in the afternoon.
The guests gathered at the appointed
hour, one party, composed of Mr.. and
Mrs. Herbert keenan,, Miss Maud Der
| ing. Miss Grace Dering, Miss Alice
| Blanchard Miss Iris Newman, Miss
Bess Woodville, Miss Mabel Broom,
Messrs. George Hamilton, +. M. Dun
can, Ward Van Deuzen and Arthur
| Clapp. who had ascertained the facts,
| waiting outside until the other guests
| had assembled, and then, entering,
greeted the soon to be bride and groom
with handfuls of rice and offerings OF
shoes of the vintage of ~. Other
guests at once became WISE" and
! congratulations were in order
The ceremony took place at $3.50, the
bride being gowned In Pima cloth and
carrying bouquet of Cecil Bruner
roses. Her only ornament was the
groon1's gift, a crescent of diamonds,
at her throat. A collation. followed,
and the newly welded pair made sew
| eral Intellectual attempts to steal away
unnoticed, but, failing to do so, finally
left in speedy machine, which they
| evidently expected would take them
at once beyond the reach OF attentions
from their assembled friends. This
mistake became apparent when, to
their chagrin, they heard directly be-
hind them another car, which proved
to contain some Of the above mem
toned disciples of Sherlock Holmes
armed with tin horns. drums, bells and
other implements of war.
The machine containing the bride
and groom was made conspicuous by
the occupants of the one behind, every
| one in the latter seeming to take an
unholy joy in advising pedestrians that
the front machine contained a newly
| welded party. This was kept up until
about midnight, when 1t was finally
decided to allow the couple to slip
away.

| their honeymoon of ten days at Idyll-
wild, and on their return will make
