Arvilla Morris of Seattle which was

ternoon, February the twenty-fifth at
the home of the groom s parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Frank A. Turner on North

atives were asked for the ceremony.
Miss Jov Turner, sister of the groom,
played the wedding march from Lohen-
grin as the bridal party entered the Ii

formed before an open fire.
Brilliant Oregon grape and pussy
willow combined with palms deeked
the rooms and formed an effective
background.
The bride who is a vivacious bru-
nette was becomingly gowned in tail
leur of gold colored poplin. She wore
a corsage bouquet of viOlets and lilies
of the valley.
Following the ceremony a wedding
supper was served. A yellow color mo-
tiff was developed in the dining room
by the use of spring flowers. An artis-
tic basket of tulips, and yellow candles
in crystal holders adorned the table
while the chandelier was festooned
with smilax and tied with yellow tulle.

later date in Seattle, but as Mr..
Turner was coming to Salem on busi-
ness an earlier marriage was urged that
he might be accompanied home by his
bride.
Although the wedding was q culmi-
nation of a romance beginning several
years ago, the marriage came as a
great surprise to their friends.
