THE MISSES JAMES OF VANCOUVER


bridegroom left the chanceI after the
ceremony the ushers formed double
column with their swords raised and
crossed in salute, and under this arch
the bridal pair walked from the
church
Following the ceremony there was a
reception at Avalon hail. where the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs Aver,
stood at the entrance to the living
room to welcome their guests. This
room is of immense size for private
residence, probably more spacious than
that in any house at the north shore.
AT one end, beneath little balcony,
Lieutenant Patton and his bride re-
ceived the congratulations of their
friends. The bridegroom's parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. George Smith Patton, and
his aunt, Miss Wilson, a sister of Mrs.
Patton, formed little family group
elsewhere in the room and guests
were presented to them by the best
man. The brides mother was in a
gown of palest blue brocade clouded
with white tulle and she wore dia-
mond ornaments. Her Neapolitan hat
was of white, with plumes.
Music was feature of the recep-
tion and 25 men from the Salem cadet
band. under the leadership of Jean
Missud, played out of doors while re-
freshments were being served. The
bands selections were carefully chosen
and included among other martial
numbers, The Star Spangled Banney.'
and also The Dashing White Ser
geant,' piece which was played when
the bridegroom was graduated from
West Point. Many of the guests
reached the scene of the wedding and
reception by special train from the
north station early in the afternoon.
Among the guests. in addition to
numerous connections of the Aver and
Patton families. were members of the
Loring, Sears, Paine, Coolidge, Long

well known families of Boston and
elsewhere. Lieutenant Patton and his
bride are to live for the present at
Fort Sheridan. ILL.,
The younger crowd. with whom
Christian Miller is great favorite, re-
gretted that his wedding with Miss
Bessie Rinehart had to be celebrated
so far away. The pretty ceremony
would have been local event of So
cial Importance, as the Miller family
has large acquaintance, but conven-
tion had it otherwise and the wedding
took place at the home of the bride.
The wedding was celebrated last
Thursday at the home of the brides
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. W. A. Rinehart,
in Covington, Va. and was one of the
most elaborate of the June affairs in
that city. The bride had several at
tendants and the best man of the oc-
casion was Kenneth Moore of this
city. Moore accompanied Chris Miller
on the eastern trip in order to fill this
office at the wedding There was a re-
ception and the young couple are en-
joying their wedding journey in the
east. 1t was matter for regret that
H. M. A. Miller was unable to attend
the wedding of his son on account of
i'll health, and Mrs. Miller remained
here with him. However, the bride
will receive cordial welcome upon
her arrival here, where the Millers
have so many friends. She will be
entertained extensively this summer.
and already several parties are on the
tapis as a greeting. The Christian
Millers will live in San Rafael and
there is a pretty house awaiting them
when they decide to return later in
the summer.

That portion of society which is con-
cerned mainly with mans proper wear
ing apparel for special occasions has
been wondering whether Theodore
Roosevelt Jr. would. at his coming
marriage, adhere to long established
custom and appear in frock coat, stand
ing collar etc, or bow to the more re-
cent cutaway that is more generally
seen at fashionable gatherings, says
a correspondent in Washington, specu-
lating on the event of the morrow The
continuation of the prophesy is as fol-
lows: Outside of the khaki jacket and
sombrero the latter garment is the
favorite of his father. Nicholas Long
worth, on the occasion of his mar
riage to Miss Alice Roosevelt, had all
the young swells of the country envi-
Gus because OF the elegance and guam
tity of his wedding wardrobe. and
modest tailor of Boston obtained quite
a bit of notoriety because of it.
Theodore Jr will be much more
economical in his outlay and. Judging
from the preliminary fitting he had re-
Gently in a large Broadway shop. he
will settle all sartorial questions for
members of the younger set who are
contemplating matrimony by appearing
at the church tomorrow in the up to
date cutaway. And it will not be of a
modest, retiring pattern. but will have
the wide braidings, faring tails and
fashionable trimmings that London de-
mands. A new white waistcoat, of
course, accompanies it, and probably the
steel gray trousers" as the fashion
plates demand.
Custom says that the derby is as
proper as the silk hat to top off such
a suit, and it is left to the wearer's
discretion. But on ones wedding day
a solemn and rare occasion-one's in
stinct would prompt one to get out his
plug and instinctively runs the
chamois over it. In this immediate
case photographs of Theodore Jr show
him with a silk hat on. SO it may be

about the bay. Miss Lundeen's trous-
seau is an extensive one, anu there are
numberIess dainty gifts from the girls
of the local set in her exquisite ward
robe. She has an attractive assortment
of engagement cups that will testify
also to her popularity.
The largest tea given in town during
the week was at the home of Miss
Janet Coleman in California street.
The attractive house has been the scene
of several affairs earlier in the season,
but none more interesting than the
reception last Wednesday that brought
half hundred friends to participate in
the festivities. The reception rooms
were decorated with roses and carna-
tions with the pink predominating in
the color scheme The gowns were a
pretty feature of the occasion. The tea
was a compliment to Mrs. James Cum
ningham and her daughters, who have
been visiting here this summer. The
guests of honor were greeted by many
old friends, as they lived in this city
in former years and have a wide social
acquaintance. They came here several
weeks ago in order to be present at the
wedding of Miss Claire Nichols and
Charles Mills on account of their
friendship for the family of Bishop
Nichols. One of the attendants at the
wedding was Miss Mary Cunningham,
who preceded her mother on the west
ern trip. The Curninghams have re-
Gently built a home on the fashionable
Riverside drive in New York and will
remain there definitely, much to the
regret of their friends in the local set.
They will visit here occasionally as
matter of course, but these trips will
be infrequent and brief, according to
the present prospect. The Cunning
ham girls are favorites here, notwith-
standing, and their friends have given
them an enthusiastic reception. They
have passed some time at Del Monte
with Mrs. James Potter Langhorne and
her daughter, Miss Julia Langhorne
The other society folk from town who
were in Monterey at the time enter
tanned at several informal motor trips
and luncheons for the visitors. In fact,
their stay here has been crowded with
social events and every day has been
devoted to some sort of amiable diver
sion. The tea given last Wednesday by
Miss Coleman was one of the most pre-
tentious affairs given for the visitors,
and the younger girls had a particu-
larly pleasant time at the party. Mrs.
Cunningham and her daughters have
decided to leave this week for the east
and the days preceding their depar-
ture have many informal parties on the
calendar in the nature of farewell re-
unions. Among the guests at the tea
given by Miss Coleman was Mrs.
Charles Mills, who was greeted with
enthusiasm. The young couple have
just returned from their honeymoon
and are here for brief stay before
going to their permanent abode in the
south.

table accompaniment. the So
cial dullness in town. The
routine of society was one
Of simplicity last week and the one or
two dancing parties were the chief
diversion of the girls who are yet in the
city. one of the dances, however, that
was the most important event of the
week for the younger set was given at
the Piedmont home Of Miss Amy Bowles.
There were half a hundred guests at
the dancing party and several of the
girls from town stayed over the week
end. The other dancing party OF the
week. that was an enjoyable affair with
an aspect of formality. however. was
given at the Mare island navy yard by

were in order during midweek. The
service set was responsible for another
affair Of the last few days that added
10 the social activity. The reception
given Tuesday afternoon at the Army
and Navy club helped to vary the
nonotony. The afternoon was thor
olghly informal and two or three score
guests met for a chat and hour over
the teacups. The Preside set has had
a week Of social affairs that was quite
as enjoyable as the days of the earlier
season, with bridge as the dominant
diversion. The card clubs at the post
have a continuous round Of reunions
during most Of the year and the devo-
tees Of the game are never at loss
Cor their favorite pastime The tea
ven Thursday at the Preside, with

elaborate event of the week in that
set. There were half dozen friends
assisting the army hostess, with her
daughter, Miss Marie Lundeen, and two
or three girls from town. The we'd
dings that have formed part of the So
cial program of the week have been in
other places and one of the most no
table of these was the marriage last
Thursday Of Miss Bessie Rinehart and
Christian Miller that took place in Cow
ington, Va. There are several dates
on the later calendar of the month for
weddings and none of these is without
local interest The month is essentially
one Of weddings, after all. and the
minor social affairs of June are a con-
sideration that society does not take
seriously.

when her engagement to the popular

friends among the younger set in town.
She has not made her formal debut, but
has been in evidence at the larger
