Simple as it was and attended by
their immediate families only, the
marriage of Miss Fay Quinton and Mr..
Frederick A. Davis of Amarillo, Texas,
which was solemnized Wednesday night
at the deanery of the Church of the
Assumption was an impressively pretty
ceremonial The Very Rev. F. M. Hay
den performed the ceremony which
took place in his conservatory. Before
the service Mrs. William w. Wikidal
sang Believe Me If All Those Endear-
Allen of St. Louis, the brides cousin,
at the piano, played her accompani-
ment and the wedding march. Miss
| Quinton, herself one of the prettiest
girls in Topeka, was surrounded by an
attractive group of attendants which
included two little ribbon girls, Betty
Histed and Mary Murphy of Kansas
| City, her sister. Miss Eugenia Quinton,
Miss Mary Moore and Miss Helen
| Davis, Mr.. Davis youngest sister. Mr.
| Davis was attended by his brother, Mr..
George Davis. The members of. the
bridal party were all in white. The
J brides toilet was of soft white satin
and rose point lace. 1t was a princess
model with front panel of the lace
high neck, mousquetaire sleeves, and
a long train. She wore a veil and car
ried bouquet of white sweet peas and
her mothers wedding handkerchief of
noint lace, for the proverbially lucky
! something old Miss Eugenia Quin
tons gown was a particularly pretty
lingerie empire. Miss Mary Moore, by
all odds the most distinguished looking
girl in her set. was in white satin
empire with fichu of lovely old Span
lish lace. Miss Helen Davis, who is
exceptionally pretty, chic and artisti-
| cally gowned, was in cream lace en-
pire. Mrs. Wikidal wore a princesse
| of palest blue silk and white lace and
| Miss Allen was in white lace. All the
young women carried big bouquets of
daisies and maiden hair.
| The wedding, the reception which
| followed, and all the attendant details
were unpretentious and in the best
! possible taste. Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred b.
Quinton are among the people who en-
| terrain with signal success and their
| house at 1913 Topeka avenue is always
filed with people of all the sets with
which this interesting family is identi
| fed. Almost any day is like a re-
ception at the Quinton, people are so
| in the habit of dropping in there, and
the WeuulH8 reception IOT THEIR uduSu-
ter last night was only different in
| that there were more people, some ex-
| ira decorations in the way of daisies
and palms and ferns and receiving
| line in the drawing room. This in
cluded Mr.. and Mrs. Quinton, Mr.. and
Mrs. Davis, the formers mother, Mrs.
E. F. Davis. Mr.. and Mrs. George
Davis, Miss Helen Davis, Miss Eu
genia Quinton. Miss Mary Moore and
the two little maids. Betty Histed and
Mary Murphy, who received almost as
much attention as the bride. Mr.. Ray
Halls orchestra played in the recep-
ton hail. and serving was done in the
dining room and on the veranda. The
wedding gifts, shown in the alcove of
the upper hall, were unusually beauti
full and artistic. Although the COM
pany was large the big rooms and the
ample Veranda space accommodated all
comfortably and there was no crush.
There were many good-looking toilets,
and the guests really enjoyed them
selves. Another uncommon feature was
that Mr.. Davis came in for a share
in the attention. Usually the bride
groom might as we'll sneak off behind
a paln-nobody would miss him. But
Mr.. Davis is so noticeably handsome
and so thoroughly likable that he rose
| superior to the ignominious position of
| a man at his own wedding and there
were as many remarks about his good
| looks as about the brides grace and
| beauty. To tell the truth. they were
| like the B. and G. of the popular
! illustrators imagination. and you know
| that is a sight rarely seen off a maya
zine cover.
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis left in the usual
shower of rice and flowers on mid
night train for Amarillo. The bridal
party escorted them to the station, two
of the bridesmaids driving their car
riage. Mrs. Davis wore a gray silk
travelling frock and coat and a gray
hat with a willow plume. They will
keep house in Amarillo. where their
cottage is furnished and ready for
them.
Governor and Mrs. Stubs and their
family have gone to their home in
Lawrence for the summer. The Gov
ernor's House is not permanently
closed and they will be back now and
then as occasion demands but they will
spend most of the time until the
schools open in the fail at their charm
ing place on Mount Dread which will
become the summer capital and from
where the governor will transact much
of the administration business.
