    Before the ceremony, Miss Grace Sanders sang "I Love You Truly," accompanied at the piano by Miss Kathleen Pelfrey.

    The bride wore a wedding gown of blue crepe, made on princess lines with puff sleeves and grey accessories and carried a lovely bouquet of roses.

    Miss Grace Sanders acted as bridesmaid and wore a frock or rose crepe and carried a large bouquet of sweet peas. Mr. Warner Rogers was the best man.
