nDG Thrills inyS Secret Wedding Revealed First Inside Story
ANNE HAS NO ENGAGEMENT RING ACE PICKS BRIDE BANQUET
BY JULIA BLANSHARD
NEA Service Writer

NEW YORK, June 2l.-This is
~ the inside" story of the we'd
ding of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh
and Anne Morrow.
It is the story Of how a secret
was kept, with virtually the entire
world endeavoring to pry in upon
that secret. And it now is possible
for The Indianapolis Times, through
the Newspaper Enterprise Associa-
ton, to describe in detail for the
first time the scenes attendant upon
the marriage of the worlds most
famous flier and the daughter Of
the American ambassador to Mexico
The ceremony uniting Lindbergh
and Miss Morrow was simplicity it
self.
But behind the scenes were Incl
dents as full of thrills and romance
as might be desired by any young
woman of Miss MorroW's age.
With the entire world clamoring
for news of the wedding date, with
newspaper reporters and photo
graphers standing guard day and
night, with suspicious that even the
family telephone line was tapped
and that the house servants we're
being offered brides, there was an
unprecedented battle of wits.
T IKE the battle campaign Of a
- great general, the wedding
plans of the famous pair we're per-
fectly camouflaged and executed
with the simplicity of swift genius.
Not a single guest invited to the
Morrow home at Englewood, N.
J., on the afternoon of May 81, was
aware that the wedding was to take
place then. No house guest knew
it until Anne appeared in their
midst in her wedding gown. None
of the servants knew of it.
Six people were in on the secret:
Ambassador and Mrs. Morrow,
Elizabeth, DR.. Brown, the minister;
Mrs. Evangeline Lindbergh, and
Mary Smith, the dressmaker who
made Annes wedding gown and
helped her dress.
The whole army of newspaper
men, photographers, curious towns
men and tourists were thrown off
the scent by the large reception
Sunday in honor of Col. Lindbergh's
mother and visiting relatives. 1t was
deliberately planned to conceal the
main event.
This reception proved a perfect
ruSe. Guests motored out from
New York Sunday afternoon. Some
did not depart when the event was
over. The house was filled with
great bowls of Anne's faVorite
garden flowers.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1929-06-21

! great bowls OF AnneS faVOrlte
! garden flowers.
InNE of the guests attending the
" reception quite openly carried
in huge box that contained the
wedding cake.
This neighbor, whose name like
the Morrow's begins with an M"
had the exciting honor of selecting
Annes wedding cake as if for her
own daughter.
Most ingenious of all the recep-
/ ton plans was one of Anne's.
For the reception she donned
charming little French ensemble of
cross-bar printed blue and white
crepe, sweet little frock with
pleated knee flounce and organdy
collar and a three quarters coat of
matching crepe.
1t was her going-away costume.
Monday morning, Anne again
put on the same ensemble for an
auto ride with Indy.
After lunch she and Indy took
a second ride, a short spin, Anne
still in the same costume.
They emerged two hours later
man and wife-and found that they
had so successfully disarmed
photographers and reporters that it
looked to them like just another
spin.
OF course, no one noticed Mrs.
Charles Augustus Lindbergh'S we'd
ding ring!
And she wore it-a plain little
gold band.
Moreover it was the only ring she
had. Indy did not give Anne an
engagement ring.
A AMBASSADOR and Mrs. Morrow
L A phoned several friends and
relatives on Monday morning.
They were casual calls, some
about business conferences, other
asking folks over to play bridge at
3:15, that afternoon, or "Come to
lunch if you want to-"
They all were messages in code.
arranged in advance, because the
Morrows suspected that their tele-
phone line had been tapped.
But even though these calls
brought wedding guests, none of
these had any idea when the cere-
mony actually would be performed.
At three o'clock, about twenty
six guests were grouped about down
stairs, some getting partners for
bridge. others talking.
Mary Smith, local dreSSmaker who
had made many of Anne'S clothes
and who had the honor of fashion,
ing Anne'S wedding dress. was shut
in one of The little rooms off the
living room, supposedly giving Anne
a final fitting. She really was
dressing Anne for her wedding!
No one was dressed up" for
the wedding. Most of the women
had on the same afternoon frocks
that they wore at the reception, soft,
printed. summary chiffons.
A T about 3:15, Mrs. Morrow
"A moved quietly from group to
group and said to each in turn:
Just come in now. will you please,
and stand in little group in the
living room. When DR.. Brown
stands up, draw close"
Almost tip-toeing, they reached
abe center of the living room
simultaneously a door from a side
room opened.
Without a wedding march, Anne
came in on the arm of her father.
She wore a semi-fitted informal
little white chiffon wedding gown,
with full. floating skirt and irreg-
ular hemline. Her flushed young
face was framed in a sweet little

REAL ESTATE DEALER
TUNES IN ON HONOLULU
Kenneth II. futile Of Stanley Manor
Reports Getting Excellent Re-
ccptiOn from Mid-Pacific.

Kenneth II. futile of Stanley
Manor is one of the few lucky radio
fans to get long distance. Last
Saturday morning he tuned in on
Honolulu, after listening to kFl.
Los Angeles, at about 4:c0 O'Clock.
The Honolulu station came in clear
ly on 1920 kilocyc!es through a dy-
mamie speaker and the musical
program at that time could be
readily recognized. Mr.. futile stated.
1t is rather unusual for an ordinary
receiving set to make such long
distance connections, and it is con-
Sidered a rare treat to get any sta
ton that is 5000 miles distant or
more, as was the case with MIR. Tut
ties experiment. Receiving condi-
tons must be as near perfect as pos
sible, and the time for such expert
ments is best during the small hours
of the morning in Mr.. Tuttle's
opinion.
