Two prominent Berkeley families
were united on Saturday evening in
| the wedding of Miss Margaret Witter,
| daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Witter,
| and Roy Page, son of Mrs. Wilfred
Page. The ceremony occurred at the
| Witter home on Durant avenue, with
ninety or so relatives and close friends
included in the wedding festivities.
Miss Witter FASTENED her wedding
somewhat in order that her brother,
| Guy Witter, who has been in train
| ing at the Preside, might be present.
| Young Witter leaves today for Amer
| lean lake to report for duty. Dean
Witter, eldest brother of the bride,
gave his sister into the keeping of
| the groom, coming over from the
Preside, where he is a member of the
second training camp. Mr.. Writer'S
army duties detained him across the
| bay until an hour past the time set
for the ceremony, but the nuptials
were delayed until his arrival.
Pastel coloring both in the flowers
used in the decorations and the gowns
| of the bridal party made the cere-
mony an unusually pretty event. Dab
| las in pink, lavender, yellow and
other soft tones filled the living rooms
of the spacious Witter home. An i'm
provised altar was arranged over a
bookcase with candles glowing
| through a mess of fernery and BIOS
| SONS.
Mrs. Burton Swartz, who was Miss
| Jenett Miller before her marriage last
| week, was matron of honor, wearing
her wedding gown of white satin and
| silver lace. Miss Elizabeth Witter,
sister of the bride, and Miss Grace
| low taffeta and silver lace and the
other in blue and silver. All three
| attendants carried pretty shower bou-
| quets of yellow tea roses and lark
spur.
Miss Witter, who is an unusually at
| tractive girl, was one OF the most
beautiful of the seasons brides. She
wore an exceptionally lovely wedding
| gown fashioned with a foundation of
| cloth of silver and several overdresses
| of Brussels lace and net. The gown,
| made in bouffant style, was heavily
embroidered in pearls. The bridal
| veil was arranged in high effect at the
| back of the head, falling in graceful
| folds to form a train. The handsome
costume was completed by shower
of white cyclamen and lilies OF the
| valley.
Miss Witter passed to the altar
through an aisle formed by a sextet
of her sorority sisters and other
friends, all gowned in pretty frocks
in pastel shades. In this group were
Miss Marjorie Page, sister of the
groom, Mrs. Roy Shurtleff, Miss Mil
dred Ahlf, Miss Helen Weston, Mrs.
Vernon Churchill and Miss Charlotte
Brush.
Mr.. Louis Macarthur of Portland
was best man for Mr.. Page. Rev
Griffith Grifiths of Oakland, close
friend of the Witter family, officiated
at the service.
A pretty feature of the wedding was
the singing of Miss Elizabeth Witter
who gave several selections before the
ceremony, while Miss Harriet Thomp-
son and Miss Catherine Hundiey
were heard in violin and piano duets
Mr.. and Mrs. Page left yesterday
for a short honeymoon in the Feather
River country, stopping there en-
route to Omaha, where they are &C
make their future home. Mr.. Page &C.
cepted a position in the east with g
large power company several months

will make their home so far away, il
the cause of much regret.-Berkeley
