Temple ROdef sholOm Opens for Its Last
Marriage Service.


With all the many brilliant we'd
diugs which have social history, it re.
NAMED for Miss Pauline Kirschner to
be the last bride. So prettily was her
marriage tableau made and SO i'm
pressive the vows which made her 8
young wife, that there will ever lin-
ger a pleasing picture of the last
wedding scene in the old church. La
very few days the old Temple which
has blessed many a bride will be de-
molished and replaced by q hand
some edifee already assured. And yet,
pretty and impressive as it was, this
service of Wednesday evening was not
commensurate with the social promi-
nence of the parties, owing to the late
retirement of the brides family from
bereavement. The groom, MIR. Abe
Bloomenstiel, came from Greenville,
mississippi, accompanied by Mr.. lsen-
berg. Hundreds of invitations had
teen issued for the Temple service, but
none for the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Sam Freund, who were giving their
niece in marriage. The Temple was
opened an hour previous TO the SER
vice, to disclose an altar decoration OF
palms with smilax threaded and fes-
tooned into canopy effect. With Miss
Emma Beer at the organ, Mrs. Jack
Sanger was soloist, aud Mrs. Sanger
with Mrs. r. F. Drake, Messrs. T. M.
Hamilton and Hart, quartette. The
ashers, Messrs. Charles Naman, Harry
Archenhold, Carl Abrams, Isadore
Kirschner and Roscue led the process
sional. The groom was attended by
Mr.. j axe Kirschner, brother ofthe bride,
and the bride was preceded by her
maid of honor, Miss Bessie Long.
| She was given into the keeping Of her
young husband by her uncle, Mr.. Sam
Freund. Rabbi W arsaw was in wait
| ing at the altar, to add the sacred fea-
ture to this beautiful sceEe. The bride,
scarce more than debutante, was the
| typical vision of the white robe en-
veloped in the feeey veil, budded with
the orange blossom. Her empire robe,
en- traine, was enriched by rare lace
and pearl garniture. She carried q
Bible with it's ribbon markers knotted
in the lily of the valley spray. Her
maid, with picture hat and natural
! rose buds, wore the bridesmaid cos
tune of pink. The hour of eight which
had been named in the invitation
found the service beginning.
A few moments after the benedic-
/ tion, Mr.. and Mrs. Freund were well
coming into their home, Altadena
Place, a large number who called
without invitation for congratulation
and merrymaking. A bowl Of punch
had been brewed and attractively set.
The array of beautiful presents had
been placed, and here many fingered.
In the meantime, Mr.. and Mrs. Bloom
enstiel made ready for their going
away, the bride donning travelling
suit of grey and white, toned by the
blush rose in her b at. The wedding
| journey will be the leisurely made trip
TO Greenville, Mississippi, by way Of
New Orleans. The demonstration OF
the BRIDES friends in Waco will there
be repeated, for Mr.. Bioomenstiel pos
sesses home friends by the score. He
has made two visits to Waco, and i'm
pressed all more than favorably. His
bride made her debut in Waco and
she leaves the friends whom she made
then, full of good wishes for equal
happiness with the friends whom she
has gone to make as young wife
