Show Saunterings H ' Tho wedding o Miss Oharlotto Margaret H Holmes, daughter of G. S. Holmes, and Dr. Mel- H vln L. Loomis of Los Angeles, which occurred on H Thursday evening at tho homo of the bride, was Hj one of the most beautiful affairs of the spring- H tlmo. Tho lloral decorations throughout the H house had been urranged with a rare artistry ani H the rooms were redolent with the perfume of H spring blossoms. H Under a boll of apple blossoms the Rev. El- H mer I. Goshen performed tho ceremony which H was preceded by the playing of the Bridal ChoiUd H from Lohengrin, under tho direction of Wllito a H Weihe. In advance of the bridal party, Hope H Parker and Betty Perkins, with white ribbons, H formed an aisle for the entrance. The pretty little H brido was attended by Mrs. Claude S. Williams H as matron of honor and her other attendant was H Miss Carrie Sapplngton as bridesmaid. Dwight H Holmes was best man for Dr. Loomis. A recep- H tion, which was attended only by old friends, H followed tho ceremony, Mrs. Frank L. Parker as- H sisting Mr. Holmes in receiving the guests. As- H Bisting at the elaborate supper were Mrs. Karl H D. Hardy, Mrs. Merylo L. Dorsey, Miss Luclle H Clark, Miss Edna Dunn, Miss Emma Quigley ana H Miss Iazel Sapplngton. H Dr. and Mrs. Loomis have gone to Los Angeles H whore they will reside at their new home, 437 H Van Ness Avenue. H B It's back to the land for fair today with tno H opening of tho Country club, and tho entertain- H ment committee has planned plenty of fun for H those who arrive early or latt, beginning with an H oighteen-holo medal play handicap golf tourna- H ment and a mixed doubles tennis match. There H will be tea from four to six and a table d'hote H dinner served at seven thirty. The dancing will H begin at eight-thirty. Practically all of the tables H havo been taken for dinner, thirty hosts and H hostesses having signified their intention of H starting things off in a blaze of glory. H The members of tho Country club look for- H ward to one of the most successful seasons tho H club has ever had. The entertainment committee B this year consists of Mrs. R. J. Glendinning, H chairman; Mrs. L. II. Farnsworth, and Mrs. H Clifford Pearsall. The tennis committee consists H of Sam Neel, Bob Glendinning and Jim Sails- H bury; and the greens committee of Charles Doo- H little, Grant Hampton and J. E. Thompson. M H One by one the country homes are opening H and most of them will be occupied within a few H days, at least a month earlier than usual. Owing H to the advanced season a number of those in the H "fawst set" have had tho temerity to arrange for H a picnic tomorrow and the motors will start soon B after breakfast, that is about 2 p. m. M H A number of people have prevailed upon their H friends to sell them an acre or two down in the H Cottonwoods and tho colony will be considerably H increased this season. The price of the land is H enough to cause those who are contemplating fl purchase to hurry a bit. The price is $1,000.00 H an acre, enough to make anyone sick who has M lived here long enough to remember the time H when twenty acres could have been purchased H for that. Bj H It is a good thing' tho Wilsons have not many H more daughters, or the members of congress would H be broke. We note that the members of the house H are again considering tho question of what will Hj be best to present Miss Wilson when she mar- H rios Secretary McAdoo. To date there havo I been no protests as there were during tho ilrdc wiiuo iiouse weuuiug or tno present, term, but buiuo nut will prooatny niaite ic his business 10 uusli into Hie ilmenglit with a kiciv. Speaking of the wedding a recent issue of the New Xork iieraid says, 'William Gibbs lucAdoo, secretary of the treasury, has set a now fashion in trousseau shopping. Yesterday he accompanied accom-panied his fiancee, Miss Eleanor Wilson, daughter or the president, on a shopping expedition with her cousin, and the bridegroom elect on this occasion oc-casion proved himself a useful member of the shopping party." ' irvom tho above it is easy to see that Secretary Secre-tary (ucAdoo knows a thing or too about trousseaux trous-seaux and probably deep down he, had resolveu that his wife-to-be should be dressed in the smartest smart-est things she could llnd in order to prevent a repetition of the stories which preceded the marriage mar-riage of the other Miss Wilson, to the effect that so many things were being made at the White House together with the screeds on the sensible, economical and democratic way which governed the preparations for tho iirst wedding. Another excerpt from the Herald in the same story reads, "The only evidence of impatience on tho part of the fiance was shown in his early arrival at Kurzman's shop where the trousseau is being made. He was there just fifteen,, minutes before Miss Wilson and her cousin, Mrs. Wilson of Philadelphia, arrived, but he passed the time calling friends and making appointments by telephone." tele-phone." "A newspaper photographer outside tho shop caused Mrs. Wilson some annoyance but Miss Wilson Wil-son seemed too happy to let a snapshot trouble her and after tho fittings0 were ended she gracd fully consented to pose with Secretary McAdoo for the Herald photographer. Mr. McAdoo smiled delightedly as much as to say that he preferred a dressmaker's to a treasury office, and choosing dainty silks and laces to official papers." That completes the nut cabinet. It is a twenty to one bet that he will know how many lumps of sugar there are in the house and how many collars in the laundry. It certainly must have been a novel experience for a bride-to-be to have her fiance picking and choosing just what she was to wear on all occasions. A rare combination, com-bination, so to speak. Another paragraph reads, "The fitting and exhibition ex-hibition of models was conducted in a private part of the third floor. At the request of Mrs. Wilson tho front portion of this space was shut off by gjass doors and inside the crystal barricade barri-cade the trio devoted almost two hours to trying on and looking at dresses. Simplicity you will note is not going to predominate in this White House bride's trousseau and there probably will be some remarkably unusual and lovely dresses when the outfit is completed." While Mario Lloyd has not been entertained so extensively here as is the popular Alice Lloyd during her visits, she with her husband, Jockey Dillon, seem to be enjoying themselves hugely In the cabarets and with motor rides and teas. Miss Lloyd was taking tea alone the other afternoon, after-noon, though the beverage in this instance was labeled "Clicquot" and that she is not forgetful was demonstrated in her remark to tho waiter after having sipped a glass or two, when she said, "See here, waitah, send this bottle to six eleven and book the check to six twelve." Of course, when Alice is here she hasn't time to turn around owing to her numerous engagements engage-ments and there is very little she overlooks while in town. It is said that she is one of the few women ever allowed to take a drink over a bar at the Alta club, but that is a past performancd or a year or two ago. bureiy nothing of the kina coma occur now with Jack Groesbeck, the sociul arbiter of the ciub, in charge. ic i Anybody desiring a pair of perfectly good f shoes may have them upon making a deposit with a popular belle, who is having a great deal of trouble because her shoes, which came from thd east, do not lit her very well, and she is endeavoring endeav-oring to dispose of them. Inasmuch as she is acknowledged ac-knowledged to be one of tho best dancers in the world her distress can be readily understood and she has asked that we take this means of doing something for her in her plight, as she declares that while the Wilson blight is over tiO country she cannot buy a new pair until these are disposed of. Cost ?10, now ?5. Mr. and Mrs. Oskar Huber of Portland, Oregon, Ore-gon, announce the engagement of their daughter, Dorothy, to Mr. Kurt H. Koehler of that city. Thd above news will come as a complete surprise to Mr. Koehler's Innumerable friends in this cut who have had no intimation of the engagement. Miss Huber is one of the belles of the Oregon metropolis and Mr. Koehler, who is one of tho most prominent lumber men in the west, enjoys that popularity which usually accrues to those cf distinction and personality.
