The greater number of
the June weddings have
been heralded in turn by
descriptions and an
nouncements, but occa-
sionally there is a quiet
ceremony and the friends
of the couple are not ap-
prised of the wedding
until afterward. Miss
Ashleigh Turner and Jo-
seph Seitz were married
yesterday in the Ro-
man Catholic church at
Mountain View, and none
but their closest friends
had been told in advance.
The wedding was one
that had simplicity as
the keynote, and only
relatives were in the
pretty church to wit
ness the ceremony. The
officiating clergyman was
Rev. Father Kenna. The
bride wore a tailored suit
of black and white cloth
with a hat to match.
Her only attendant was
Miss Kathrine Oliver of
this city, while the Of
fee of best man was
filed by Charles Sulli-
van. The bride is a
charming girl and had a
large share of the enter
tainment in town last
winter in her role of
bride to be. She is a
niece of Mrs. Frank Sui
livan and a cousin of
Miss Gladys Sullivan and
of Mrs. Frederick Law
renee Murphy. While in
town last season she
was entertained at one
of the most Ella borate
luncheons of the year
given by Miss Mollie
Phelan. Mr.. and Mrs.
Seitz have gone south on
a brief wedding journey.

country home at Noun
tain View after their re-
turn.
The friends of Miss Jen-
ME Crocker are pleased

eastern city. but she has
returned instead. She
will be at her Burlin-
game home during most
of the summer.

great success and was
attended by several Of

formal as well as de-
Hghtful.
