Sister of Mrs. F. w. M.ercklein weds
Los Angeles Man

The following account Of the mar
riage Of Miss Blanche Irwin is taken
from the Venice (Calif.) Vanguard:
This is the month Of roses, sweet
girl graduates and lovely June brides,
but a few Of the brides prefer to slip
away and surprise their friends rather
than 60 through the excitement Of q
big church wedding. This is the rea-
son the relatives and hosts Of friends
Of a popular bay district couple were
denied the pleasure Of witnessing the
pretty ceremony which united Miss
Blanche Irwin and Claude I. Parker
on Wednesday Of this week.
Taking Rev. w. II. Cornett with
them, they motored over to Riverside
and were quietly married in the beau
tiful chapel Of Glenwood Mission inn.
The bride was charmingly gowned in
white georgette, heavily beaded, with
q picture hat to match, and she car
ried an exquisite shower bouquet Of
orchids and lilies of the valley.
Mrs. Parker is a member Of a prom
inent bay district family and during
the years she has been a successful
business woman has made great
many warm friends, who wish her all
the happiness in the world. She is
the sister Of Mrs. n. P. Boardman,
Mrs. F. w. Maercklein, Mrs. Charles
White and R. L. Irwin, Of Santa Mon
lea; Mrs. Eva Weatherby, Of Venice;
G. L. Irwin, Of Redondo Beach, and
]. w. Irwin, Of Linsay, Calf. This
marriage is the elimination Of one
Of those pretty romances in which the
persistence Of the lover finally wins
out.
Mr.. Parker, who is a well-known
income tax attorney Of Los Angeles,
has prepared a charming little nest
at Playa del Rey for his bride, where
they will reside upon their return
from the honeymoon the early part Of
next week. They have spent much
time planning fine home, now under
construction on Mr.. Parker's estate
in the mountains north Of Santa Mon
lea overlooking the ocean.
The many friends Of the happy cou-
pie are already planning round Of
social functions in their honor and
are impatiently awaiting their return
home.
