Only members of the family and a few intimate friends attended.

Rev. George Davidson of St. John's Episcopal Church officiated. The bride was gowned in a white marquisette model fashioned period style with an old rose-point lace collar and tiny buttons down the front of the bodice. She wore a finger-tip tulle veil trimmed with rose point and held in place by a tiny tulle square caught in her hair.

The bridal bouquet was an old-fashioned one of stephanotis. Miss Joan Clark was her sister's maid of honor and only attendant in a sky-blue marquisette frock and large-brimmed picture hat to match. She carried blue delphinium. Final plans were made this week at the Assistance Leagu for the garden tea and fashion show to be sponsored next Thursday at the Beverly Hills home of Mrs. Jay Paley by mem.

No more of that leaning over-backwards-looking-at-the-stars business.) Dr. Szell gave a short talk on his experiences in Glasgow and Australia. Said that in Glasgow there were 12 to 16 children's concerts given within a 13-week engagement of the orchestra.

He has great humor and when asked how he happened to start conducting, laughingly remarked that he was too lazy to practice the piano! Thought that doing something with a little stick would be easy.
