The San Francisco call., 1910-07-17

the evening at st. Luke's Episcopal
church and the setting of pink and blue
was most effective. The officiating
clergyman was Bishop William Ford
Nichols. The place of best man was
filled by Lawrence Harris. who is one
of the best friends of the bridegroom,
while the two closest friends of the
bride served as attendants. These two
young matrons were Mrs. Lawrence
Harris and Mrs. George Cameron. The
bride was given in marriage by her
father. A. N. Simpson. The wedding
supper after the ceremony was served
at the family home in Pacific avenue.
The brides gown was a creation of
white duchesse satin fashioned with a
tunic of rare lace and her wedding veil
was of rare lace. She carried a shower
of gardenias and lilies of the valley.
The two attendants were gowned In
pale chiffon, in one of the new modes,
with an embroidery of hydrangeas.
They carried dahlias The ushers at
the wedding were Vail Bakewell, Louis
Simpson, James K. Armsby and Clar-
ence Ward The wedding supper at
the Simpson home in Pacific avenue
was a formal reunion, for none but the
nearest friends Of the couple We're bid
den to the repast. There We're clever
speeches and toasts that have gone
down in social annals as the most cpl
grammatic and entertaining of the
year. Roy Pike is talented in a musical
way and his friends are a coterie of
wits and bon vivants that formed an
assembly out of the ordinary monotony
of supper parties. There were beauti-
fuI gifts galore for the popular couple
and the Family club sent an exquisite
silver tea service. Pike is one of the
favorite members of the club. The
young people are passing part of their
honeymoon in romantic fashion in Men
docino county, where Pike has bun
galow. They will not remain in the
country for an extended stay, how
ever. but will be in town next month
Their future home is to be in Detroit
That announcement came as a surprise
to all save their closest friends, for
every one expected that they would
live in this city. Mr.. and Mrs. Pike
will not depart for the east until late
September. They will not accept any
entertainment excepting of the most
informal sort following the program
of the days before their wedding. Mrs.
Pike has any number of friends among
the younger girls who would have been
I
bride elect, but she made the rule of
no parties that had to be strictly OBJ
served. The only gayety preceding the
wedding was in the form of impromptu
dinner parties at the Harris home and
among their relatives.
The service wedding of the week was
that of Miss Emma Turner and Lieu
tenant George Ruhlen Jr. of the coast
artillery. The ceremony took place last
evening in the chapel at the Presidio,
where so many of the army weddings
| have been celebrated. The officiating
clergyman was Chaplain Jones and the
setting was the usual arrangement of
flags and flowers. The color scheme for
the decorations was pink and white
in the church. At the reception after
ward the red of the artillery predomi-
mated and the quarters of Captain and
Mrs. Frederick Stopford were deco
rated with roses and red blossoms in
tertwined with scarlet ribbons. The
bride is a sister of Mrs. Stopford and

Miss Marie LUndeen, who was brides
maid at the wedding. The bridegroom
had only one attendant, also, in the
person of Lieutenant Harry Stephenson
of the coast artillery. The ushers, all
of whom We're artillery officers, were
Lieutenant William Currier. Lieutenant
Harry Schwabe, Lieutenant Howard
Loughry and Lieutenant Henry Bargin.
There were over 100 friends at the re-
ception, and among these were a few
from town, but the guest list was
practically confined to the army set
The bride is one of the favorites in the
service set and has been entertained at
a series of parties preceding her wed

the socially inclined at the post with
Miss Marie Lundeen, the fiancee of
Lieutenant Edwin E. Pritchett. Miss
Lundeen leaves in day or two for
Minneapolis. where her wedding with

have gone away on a brief wedding

home at the Preside.
The announcement that Miss Florence
Ives would be the bride of Othello
Scribner was a surprise to the friends
of the couple. The romance began appar-
emily with a congeniality of taste, for
the couple are both enthusiastic golf
ers. Miss Ives has carried off many
| honors on the links and her name is
perhaps identified more prominently
| with the sport than that OF any other
society girl in town. There is the
possible exception of Miss Alice Hager
who is one of the foremost players of

of cups and trophies that any profess
sionaI might envy, all attesting to her
