Omaha and Council Bluffs society
people are looking forward with
much interest to the marriage Of two
young people of we'll known families,
which will take place the evening OF
April II at the First Presbyterian
church in Council Bluffs, the Rev.
Frederick w. Evans performing the
ceremony. The, principals are Miss
Esther Spindler, daughter OF Mr.. and
Mrs. John ]. Spindler, and Mr.. Glenn
Wilcox, son Of Mrs. J. F. Wilcox.
This marriage marks the culmina-
ton of a true love match If ever one
did. Since before their high school
days these young people have been
so entirely devoted to each other that
their friends waited only for the day
to be set. The engagement was for
mally announced last fall, but the
date OF the wedding was made known
in an extremely novel way at a lunch
con given by Mrs. F. ]. Schnorr at
her home. After luncheon the host
ess playfully explained that, although
it was too late for the matinee, she
had decided to give the guests pro-
grams. Each member Of the party
was then presented with a clever lit
tic program designed by Miss Ger
trude FINLEY, which announced a
sketch presented by Mr.. and Mrs.
John J. Spindler" with DR.. Frederic
w. Evans as stage manager and all
the other details Of the wedding in
terms OF the theater program.
Miss Elsie FINLEY was to have
been home from Vassar to serve as
ones of the bridesmaids for the we'd
ding but sickness interviewed, so that
she will have to remain at school
while her chums are enjoying the
wedding festivities. Miss Mary Still
man even had her bridesmaid dress
completed when it was decided that
she would return to the University
OF Chicago at the beginning Of the
second semester. This leaves only
four bridesmaids, Misses Marian
Saunders, Gertrude FINLEY, Jeanette
Greenshields and Angela Shugart.
Mrs. L. L. Winship Of Boston, who
was formerly Miss Ruth Spindler, is
expected to arrive today to serve as
her sisters matron Of honor. Mr.
Blaine Wilcox will be his brothers
best man. Mr.. Tom Besley will act
as head usher with Mcssrs. Bernard
Beno, Henry Jennings, Harold Shu-
bert and Eldred Hart for assistants.
Mr.. Hart comes from Ames April S
and will be at home until after the
wedding.
Affairs for the bride-to-he have oc-
cupied every spare moment since the
announcement OF the wedding date.
Today Miss Lorene Hammel and
Miss Lucille McAtee gave a matinee
party for Miss Spihdler and girls Of
her party; Miss Helen Thomas will
give an afternoon affair for her to-
morrow at the R. r. Otis home;
Wednesday Miss Gertrude Wheeler
and Miss Elizabeth Konigmacher
