WED AHEAD OF TINE
TO TAKE SEA TRIP
Announced Departure of Brides
Chum Precipitates Nuptials
and Bewilders Society

OAKLAND, June 24.-''It's really too
bad that you can't attend my we'd
ding" said Miss Florence Bramhall
yesterday to her chum, Miss Sybil How
ard, who was preparing to sail away on
the Manchuria today.
wouldn't it be nice to sail with
here" suggested Thomas Edward Am
brose. Miss Bramhalrs hance.
why don't you get married now and
come along?" inquired Miss Howard.
The suggestion was accepted forth
with and, with the aid OF an automo-
bile, quick trip was made via the
county clerks office to st. Luke's
church, San Francisco, where the cere-
mony was performed. Today Mr.. and
Mrs. Bramhall sailed away on a honey
moon trip to Japan and the orient. ac-
companied by their resourcefuI brides
maid, Miss Howard.
All of which explains why the Am
brose-Bramhall wedding, which was
one of the big events on the society
calendar for this month. will not be
held June 80 as per schedule. Incl
dentally it may serve to clear away the
cred oyer many of the friends OF the
impetuous lovers today.
Miss Bramhall, who has been max
ing her home with Mrs. Thaddeus
Sigourney. in Brush street, started
across the bay with her fiance yester-
day afternoon to visit Miss Jennie Lee
At the Lee home she found Miss How
ard making a farewell call. Regrets
developed into resolutions, and as
result the June wedding calendar has
been sadly disarranged.
The bride is the daughter of the late
Walter Bramhall of Yokohama, where
she lived for many years. Ambrose is
connected with the Thomas Hicks con-
tracting company.
number of affairs which had been
arranged in Miss Bramhalrs honor for
the coming week have been Cancelled.
