ALBERTA WILLIAMS
WEEDS ARTHUR JOHNSON

most brilliant of the many weddings
scheduled for the month of June
took place last night when Miss
Alberta Williams. daughter of Mrs.
Anne Williams, of Water street, and
Arthur Johnson, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Johnson, of Metuchen, were
united in marriage in the First
Presbyterian church, with Rev.
Frederick d. Niedermeyer, pastor of
the church, officiating.
Shortly after 8 o'clock, after a
d -lightful half hour of exquisite
organ music played by George Vause.
the organist of the church, the
organ poured forth the strains of the
wedding march, and the procession
slowly proceeded to the altar, which
in itself resembled a bower of June
flowers and before which the nup-
tails were simply but beautifully
said. First in the procession were
the ushers, Ralph Crowell, Howard
Johnson, brother of the groom, Earl
Williams, brother of the bride, of
this city. and Lester Squires. of Old
Bridge. Then followed the four
bridesmaids, all wearing %organdie
dresses and hats and each carrying
n huge bouquet of flowers artistical-
ly arranged to blend with the tint of
the dainty dresses and picture hats.
Miss Bertha Johnson, sister of the
groom, wore green; Miss Ruth
Cheshire wore peach; Miss Izola
Fullerton, yellow, and Miss Elsie
Bernard pink and each resembled
the petal of some delicate flower,
while on each arm bouquet a real
butterfly rested gracefully and com
pleted the charming effect.
After the bridesmaids came the
maid of honor, Miss La Verne de
Hamm, a picture of loneliness in her
orchid taffeta gown and large pic
ture hat, matching in color and
made of %georgette and straw, its
only decoration an orchid feather.
Her flowers, orchid sweet peas, lilies
of the valley, lace flower and Gypsy
love, were arranged in a most effec-
tive name to a shepherds crook,
which she carried.
Preceding the bride, strewing her
path with flowers. were the flower
girls, Joyce Layden and Janet Bedell,
one wearing pink and white organdie
and the other white and blue organ
die and each wearing bonnets to
match.
To say the bride was charming
would not describe the pretty pic
ture that she made as she proceed
ed to the altar alone. Her gown was
of white satin and chantilly lace
while her veil of tulle, caught in
coronet effect over her hair with
orange blossoms, gracefully fell TO
the very bottom of her long white
satin train. Her flowers were a
shower bouquet of snap dragons,
lilies-of-the-valley, Jasmine and the
lace flower, which made the COM
pleting touch of her costume SO
pretty and rich in its simplicity.
Carlton Mullin, Jr., in a suit of white
satin, was her train bearer.
The bride was given away by her
mother, who wore a gown of gray
satin with on ~overdrape of black
lace and a corsage bouquet of sweet
peas. shading from orchid to white.
The bride met the groom and Lest
man, Lloyd G. Griswold. at the altar
where the ceremony was performed
before an arch of pink rAmblers
and embarked on either side below
still another embankment of daisies
and g%arlands of ramblers were strung
along the altar cloth and over the
lights completely surrounding the
church.
The church was filled with guests
and friends of both young people md
following the ceremony many ad-
journed to the Packer House where
the formal reception took place. Mr..
and Mrs. Johnson left to spend their
honeymoon in Laurelton and upon
their return they will reside with the
brides mother in Water street.
Among the guests at the reception
were Mrs. Minnie Pool of Taunton.
