fern, Miss Albertha Galpin last
evening at 6 o'clock became the
bride of Theodore c. Vault at the
home of the groom's aunt and
uncle, MIR. and Mrs. Max Viault,
in Tucson. Only the immediate
family witnessed the ceremony,
which was performed by the Rev.
Father Thomas Connolly.
The bride was radiant in an
exquisite gown of white crepe
meteor, heavily hand embroidered.
She wore the conventional veil
and orange blossoms and carried
q shower bouquet Of brides roses
and lilies Of the valley Mrs.
Leonard Herwie, sister of the
bride, was matron of honor, wear
ing a lovely creation Of pink chif-
fon and silver lace. She carried
pink rose buds. Miss Bertha Ty-
son OF Mesa, cousin Of the bride,
was the Bridesmaid, wearing a
smart gown OF blue and pink taf-
feta and carrying pink roses.
Little Miss Margaret Vault, in a

JUNE GIVES PLACE
TOAPR|L As MONTH
OF BRIDAL PARTIES

Looking over the past week one
might almost be led to believe that
April had suppIanted June as the
month favored OF brides. Perhaps it
was in the air, with the first iangur-
Gus days of summer upon US, but cer-
tain it is that never were there so
many weddings or preparations for
weddings as have come during this
week.
Certain it is also that those who
had the foresight to choose April in
stead of June for their nuptials had
all the glad appointments which go
to make weddings such beautiful af-
fairs, and that without the least ex-
penditure of time or energy in ar
ranging them.
Roses and sweet peas shed their
fragrance on every side. and added to
their fragile beauty were the radiant
desert blossoms - poppies. grease
wood. Iupin and other golden blooms
which in another month will be faded
and gone.
Bridal wreath and other spraying
blossoms are at their best now, while
the ferns and potted plants have
fresh greatness about them which
the warmer days of summer will take
away.
And over all is the blue sky and
the golden sun, with its insistent
hint of approaching summer tempered
by soft breezes. 1t is the time when
youth calls to youth and heart to
heart. when love is supreme and will
not be denied.
In other words, it is the June of
Arizona, and therefore the natural
time for weddings.
