After the ceremony, at which pretty Phyllis Phyl-lis Pollock, the niece of the bride, was ring-bearer, ring-bearer, a wedding breakfast, at which only the Immediate relatives participated, was served at the home of Mrs. C. H. Emmons, sister of ,the bride. The couple returned to Salt Lake on Thursday and are now at their beautiful home in the southern south-ern suburbs of the city.

The decorations, menu and service were all that could be desired and the large dining room at the Commercial Club probably never before be-fore held such a congenial crowd. Early in the evening the thoughtful part of the programme went through. Toastmaster Kerr explaining the whys and wherefores and calling upon such Bohemians Bo-hemians as Fisher Harris, Harry Culmer, George Carpenter, Ben Cartwrlght, Willard Weihe and others for talks on appropriate subjects. Following Follow-ing came delightful music by Miss Berkhoel, Mr. Weihe and Mr. McClellan. At the hour of coffee "The Stein Song" and "Heidelburg" were vocifer- h ously given and with smokes cames the time for informality and a rarely good time, even for Bohemia. Bo-hemia. Everyone present said something or did scmething and the result was eminently successful. success-ful. No stage manager was needed for the "stunts" followed each other in such quick succession, suc-cession, that it was hard to keep tally. Undoubtedly Undoubt-edly the best of these was the dance by Miss Phil Pointer, who carried her audience back to the far south. Kerr was her assistant in this and the finale was a cakewalk, which was the signal for general dancing. Mme. Amanda Swenson, who is a leading vocalist, gave an inimitable burlesque bur-lesque on giand cpera, whioh made a hit. It would take up much space to enumerate all the doings, but suffice to say that the banquet brought together to-gether a mighty clever and congenial crowd and the initial event was such a success that another is already in process of formation, to be entirely different from a banquet. fcjw 5 w Mrs. D.
