Los Angeles herald., 1909-02-17

| HISIOIIC- certainly one Oh the IuOSI
| enjoyable-banquets ever held in Los
Angeles. and took place last evening
| between the hour of p. m. and a time
that the reckoning of guest figured
not, in the spacious banquet halls Of
| Levy's cafe. 1t was a bachelor din
ner," for now the whole world knows
| that Leo Valtus Youngworth is about
to wed the woman of his heart, Miss
Marguerite Smith of this city, claimed
| by him and admitted by all to be one
of the sweetest of California's fair
roses.
Running the Gauntlet
| 1t was scheduled as a dinner by "his
friends" but if friendship must travel
| the gauntlet laid down for Young
worth, then that endearing epithct
must assume the burdens of a new
meaning.
Gathered about twenty tables, sur
rounded by decorations dainty and
| thoughtful in their twinings, fully $50
guests sat down to one of the most
unique and enjoyable feasts ever served
| beneath a Los Angeles roof 1t was
scene of animation of life and of in
tense human interest.
| But one misfortune marred the joy
| Gus event. This was when, as a result
| of crossed wires, the center piece,
huge wedding bell of dainty sprays of
green, covered with bulbs Of red, white
and blue, caught fire. Flames Ieaped
] toward the ceiling, but every guest re-
manned seated and cheer after cheer
went up for Leo Youngworth. The
| flames were reduced almost as quickly
| as they broke out.
| Every table was set in a different
| color, but all were in harmony. The
menu cards represented a scale, in
which the heart outweighed the club,
heart and club being typified in turn
! by a happy fireside and the table of
the bachelor club. The repast was
/ fully up to the menu.
YoungWorth Gives Thanks
| Speechmaking followed and continued
cries for Leo Youngworth brought the
guest of honor to his feet and to the
table. Three hundred and fifty guests
| at once rose to their feet and carried
him on their shoulders, that all might
belabor him with loving hands.
Youngworth's voice trembled with
emotion as he acknowledged his ap-
probation of a demonstration which he
| declared would linger all his lifetime
| in his memory
| Messages of regret were read from
| United States Senator Frank P. Flint
and half dozen other close friends Of
the benedict-to-be.
| United States Attorney Lawler was
called on by Toastmaster and POST
master NJ H. Flint to respond to the
sentiment, 'The Groom" His remarks
were greeted with uproarious demon
strations of approval.
| r. II. Jeffries responded to the toast,
'"The Bride" Joe Scott, father of nine
children, to the sentiment of Raising
a Family" He pleaded guilty ITO be-
| ing an expert Witness
Lee G. Gates closed the speechmak-
! ing and presented on behalf of those
present, a beautiful three-drawer chest
of silver to the future bride and BRIDE
groom.
Youngworth again took the floor to
acknowledge the gift in a few feeling
up to the strains of He's a jolly Good
Fellow" in which everyone joined
Mr.. Youngworth and his bride-to-be.
Miss Marguerite Smith, will be married
February 26.
