THE SMART SET

Y HE, wedding of Miss Ruth Boericke
and Ralston White was one of the
prettiest of the spring season.
There We're none but close family
friends at the ceremony solemnized last
evening at the home of the brides
parents, DR.. and Mrs. William Boericke,
in Washington street. The plans for
an elaborate wedding were abandoned
after the death of Lowell White. father
OF the bridegroom, and the affair last
evening was simplicity itself. The
house decoration was an effective ar
rangement of appleblossoms and ferns.
In the drawing room a bower was
formed of blossoms intermingled with
knots of tulle The service was read
in the floral bower by Rev. Joseph
Worcester of the Swedenborgian
church.
The bride wore a gown of white sat
in that was remarkably beautiful, with
an elaboration Of rare old lace, which
was worn by the mother of the bride
on her own wedding gown. The bod
ice was fashioned almost entirely of
the lace and lace drapery finished the
skirt with its long court train. The
bride wore a tulle veil and a wreath
of orange blossoms. Her only attend
ant was her sister, Miss Dorothy Boe-
ricke, who was gowned in blue chif-
fon over pale pink. The embellishments
on the gown was point applique lace.
Ben Upham acted as best man.
Mrs. William Boericke was gowned
in turquoise blue satin embellished
with Spanish lace. Mrs. White, mother
of the bridegroom, wore a handsome
gown of black satin and lace. The lit
tie Ribbon bearers in the bridal party
were the brothers of the bride, Arthur
and Charles Boericke. There was an
informal reception after the ceremony
and a. wedding supper. The brides
table was decorated with white lilacs
and pink roses. The young couple
have gone on brief honeymoon, but
will return to make their home in Mill
Valley. They are going abroad later
in the year.
