Harold Wrenn, VINO until yesterday
afternoon was known to us as Lois
Allen, and we are SO glad we are not
going to lose her but for the short time
she will be away on her honeymoon
The marriage was celebrated at the
Allen home on Pasadena avenue yeSter-
day afternoon at half past 4, the cere-
mony being read by the Rev. a. u. Ii
TreW. rector emeritus of All Saints
Eniscopal church. The house was
bower of loveliness, roses in great pro-
fusion being used. In the living room
American Beauty roses were used, the
bridal party standing under canopy
of smilax. ferns banked with palms and
bay trees, and overhead an immense
hoop of pink satin ribbon, from Whicn
were American Beauty roses IN great
rones with asparagus ferns. The din
ing room was dainty in Shasta daisies
and white peonies. The bride wore an
exquisite gown of white satin cashmere
heavily embroidered in Easter lilies,
with the great leaves in chiffon ana
satin. She wore pearl earrings, the gift
of her husband; pearl pendant, the
gift of her parents, and an exquisite
pearl necklace, the gift of her father-
in-law. Her bouquet was a shower OF
orchids. The soft notes of the harp
were heard for the ceremony and we'd
inc march. The only attendants were
the two little nieces of Mr.. Wrenn,
Katherine and Phoebe Norcross, who
ypnre eowned alike in white lingerie
frocks and wore great sashes OF PINK
satin and carried gold baskets nled
with sweet peas and orange blossoms
and maidenhair ferns, and on the
handels were immense bows of pale
pink tulle.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wrenn left on an in
definite wedding Journey, going first TO
Santa Barbara and Monterey, then TO
the Yosemite, and wherever the fancy
takes them. They will probably be
gone a month or six weeks, and when
they return will occupy the nome on
Avenue Fifty and Echo avenue which
Judge Allen has given them.

big affair, had been beautifully deco
rated with a wonderful icing of flowers
and around the side were these words:
