Senorita Gales Weds
American In Nogales
Without OstentQtion

NOGALES, May II. Up = Senorita
Ernestina Gales, 2O-year-old daughter
of President Plutarco Elias Gales Of
Mexico, tonight became the bride OF
Thomas Arnold Robinson. young New
York business man, at a civil mar
riage performed by Judge Jorge Ca
brero at Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, at
the home of Santiago Martinez, an
uncle of the bride.
The ceremony was to have been
held at the home of an aunt, Sonora
Elodia de Manriquez but due to the
comparative SmallneSS of the home
and the large attendance list, 1t was
decided today to make the change.
Immediately following the civil
ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Robinson,
accompanied by approximately 70
guests. attended a formal receptlon
given at one of Nogales, Sonora S,
night clubs, which had been reserved
for the affair The doors were cloSeo
to all persons not having written III
vitations that were sent out early
today.
Shortly before 10 o'clock the newly
married couple departed for the nome
of Sonora Manriquez, where the lug
gage was placed in one car, while an
other rushed the young couple Co
Tucson, Arizona, where they took the
11:45 o'clock train for New YORK
City.
The marriage ceremony was Tree OF
unusual show and ostentation. The
Martinez home, where the wedding
took place, is a modest house in one
of the newer sections of Nogales. the
only reminders of marriage were the
garlands of white roses interWover
with srays of lilies Of the valley.
The bride was attired in simple
though costly gown of white satin
mantled with fine "mantilla. She
wore a cloth headdress and brlda
!! veil circled with a coronet. They
were American clothes, the Partisan
trosseau having failed to arrive. The
orange blossom sprays presented
pretty picture tonight.
The groom was dressed in the con-
ventional evening clothes, as were
the four witnesses to the marriage
Fernando Torreblanca, brother-ln-laN
of the bride; Carlos Herrera, A. F
Smithers and Warren Robinson
