SILVER ANNIVERSARY AND MARRIAGE CEREMONY

Wallace-Hazen Wedding Is Surprise.

Last Thursday evening the lovely home of Mr. and Mrs. G. W Wallace, on North Santa Cruz Avenue, was the scene of a double wedding. It was the occasion of the silver wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs Wallace and many friends and relatives were present in response to invitations to this happy even.

At about four o'clock, when the company had gathered in the parlor, the ever-beautiful Lohengrin's Wedding March was played by Mr. Ingram Van Eaton and the bridal pair, preceded by Rev. W. D. Ewer, entered and were re-united after twenty five years of happiness, in the presence of their friends. They were attended by Mr. and Mrs. S. G. Wallace.

Immediately after the ceremony and before anyone could offer congratulations, the wedding march was played again and, to the greatest surprise of the guests, a real wedding took place. Rev. C. S. Needham, of Fresno, came into the room followed by Walter L. Wallace and Miss Gladys R. Hazen, who were then made man and wife, the impressive ring ceremony being used. Miss Florence Osterman of San Jose and Dorrace G. Wallace, brother of the groom, attended the young couple. The bride looked very sweet and charming in a dress of white silk trimmed with pearl beading and white pearl-beaded net, and wore orange blossoms. The bridesmaid was attired in pink chiffon over pink silk, with pearl bead trimming.

Both couples were showered with congratulations and good wishes and several pleasant hours were spent, the guests remaining until about 9:30. A short program was rendered consisting of a vocal solo by Warren Sheffield, accompanied by Miss Evalynn Wallace, an original reading by Mrs. F. M. Dickerson, vocal solo by Dorrace Wallace accompanied by the bride, and a duet by Walter and Dorrace Wallace. Ice cream, cake and delicious punch was served.

Among the guests present were a number of Miss Hazen's relatives from Santa Cruz and San Jose.

Only one person was present who had attended the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace twenty-five years ago at Talmage, Nebraska, and that was S. G. Wallace. He spoke of the remarkable difference in the weather and told how the guests on that other occasion drove through snow and sleet in sleighs, while automobiles conveyed the guests through sunshine and flowers on this anniversary.

Both couples were the recipients of many beautiful and useful gifts, consisting of cut glass, silverware, hand-painted china and other handsome articles.

Mr. and Mrs. Walter L. Wallace went to Los Angeles for their honeymoon, leaving San Francisco by boat last Friday.
