Many Guests in Tiny Chapel

trance of the chapel and await
No matter how many weddings
one may go to, it always seems
as though the wedding march,
which really is expected momen-
tarily, suddenly surprises every
one and commences. Their dig
nifty accented by the firm tread
of boots, and a faint jingling of
Saber chains, the six young Of
ficerS led the bridal procession
to the altar, where the bride
groom, with his best man, Lieut..
John Pugh, waited.
Patsy Parker Leads
The first of the brides at
PENDANTS was little Patsy Parker,
who walked alone. Her gown was
of aquamarine net over satin,
fashioned with full puffed sleeves
fitted into tight elbow-length
cuffs, and fastened down the
front with a row of tiny covered
buttons. The high neck was fin
ished with a curved standing col
lar. On her blond head she
wore a cap made with an off
the-face-effect brim of braided
net of the same shade as her
frock, and one thickness of the
net formed the crown. She car
ried a graceful spray bouquet of
baby's breath artis tically ar
ranged with ferns and tied with
blue and white ribbons.
The other bridesmaids who
were similarly costumed were
Bette Hartz, Beryl SUNNI ers,
Helen Frank and Juliet Kemp.
Anne Lawton, the maid of
honor, followed them. Her gown
and wee hat were of the same
style and material, but of a ricn
American Beauty shade.
Young Attendants
The most nonchalant members
of the entire wedding party were
little Joa1.ne OMalley, sister of
the bride, and young Master Will
liam A. R. Robertson, jr. jeanne
in a dainty frock of the aqua
marine ne with a wreath of pink
and blue forget-me-nots on her
golden curis, scattered rose petals,
much 70 young Billie's surprise.
He had bee' in the rehearsal, but
there had been no petals then and
he couldn't quite understand it..
AS each handful was tossed lightly
to the tiled floor, the little chap
in his min:ature uniform, Sam
Brown belt, bars on his shoulders
and all, would watch with the
utmost interest. One time he even
stopped and looked back, then
seeing Betty and her father ap-
preaching et quickly turned and
was on his way again.
Captain John j. O'MaIley es-
corted his daughter, and a bonny
bride she was, smiling and radiant.
Her tulle veil fell from a coronet
Of lace, with shorter veil cover
ing her face. A standing collar
of rare old lace rose from the
square neck of the high-waisted
bodice. The flaring skirt swept
out into tMe circular train which
with the misty veil seemed to
glide over the pale petals, never
even touching the floor. Betty's
bouquet of white rosebuds and
lilies of the valley was also ar
ranged in the spray effect.
Reception at Club,
After the ceremony, which was
performed at o'clock by Chap
lain Ralph o. Diebert, the young
officer and his bride, followed by
their attendants, left the church
to the strains of Mendelssohn and
were whisked off to the Army and
Navy Country Club, where a re-
ception was held atop the roof.
Luckily, the rain held back long
enough for each of the guests to
have a turn for a few words of
best wishes and congratulations
respectively for the bride and
bridegroom; several dances, and
then Betty, following the age-old
custom, cut the first piece of her
towering white cake with her hus-
bands sabre.
Mrs. O'Malley'S gown of gray
chiffon with it's sash and train
of American Beauty and a wide
brimmed hat of the same bright
color were most becoming. Mrs.
Strauss, mother of the bride
groom, was attired in a print of
blues and puppies on a white
background. Her picture hat was
Of deep violet.
Going to Fort Riley
In the midst of the dancing
and receiving several of the
groomSmen slipped downstairs and
out to Lieutenant Strauss car.
Within a twinkling their deed was
done, and when the young couple
tried to steal off quickly they were
