E—6 SOCIETY. IT/Iiss Betsy Steele Weds Lieut. Franklin Asmuth ‘Archway of Swords Leads to Altar In Military Ceremony Performed Friday Evening at Quantico. QUANTICO, Va, April 27—A| wedding of considerable interest took | place at 8 o'clock last evening in the | Officer’s Club, when Miss Betsy Ann Steele, daughter of Maj. Franklin Topping Steele U. S. M. C., and Mrs. Steele, became the bride of First‘ Lieut. Walter Asmuth, jr, U. 8. M. C., | son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Asmuth | of Washington. The ceremony was | performed by Rev. August F. Hohl, chaplain, U. S. N., officiating in the presence of a large company of of- ficers and their wives and many guests from out of town. The wed- ding march and the music for the| reception and ball immediately fol- lowing the ceremony was played by | the post Marine Corps Orchestra, led | by Chief Marine Gunner Horace Tal- bot, U. 8. M. C. The ceremony was performed in the ball room of the club, the walls of which were banked with dogwood and laurel, which changed the austere Colonial back- | ground into a bower of Spring blos- soms and shining green foliage, mak- | ing an exquisite setting for the lovely gowns and the colorful uniforms of | the wedding party. | The bride was escorted to the altar | through an archway of crossed swords, and given in marriage by her | father. Her gown Wwas an hemoom‘ on her father's side of the family. | It is a deep ivory satin, with a tight | fitting bodice, flounces of duchesse | lace in tiers, on the skirt, a bustle of satin flowing into a long train in| the back. The long veil of rosepoint lace, also an heirloom, combined with tulle, was caught into a cap. She wore & locket which belonged to her great- great grandmother on her mother’s | side of the family and carried shower bouquet of gardenias, white | sweet peas and lillies of the valley. | An unusual feature of the bridal bou- quet was its being made so that at the end of the ceremony, it came apart, forming nine corsage bouquets, one for each attendant and a corsage bouquet for the bride's traveling cos- tume. Mrs. H. Ewing Wall was the matron of honor and Miss Nancy Brown of | Radnor, Pa., a cousin of the bride, was the maid of honor. They wore vory color net gowns, with hyacinth | blue sashes and sandals to match They carried bouquets of Johanna Hill roses tied with ribbons to match their sashes.

The reception which followed also | was held at the club, when the couple | was assisted in receiving by the bride’s | mother, Mrs. Steele, who was becom- | ingly gowned in midnight blue flow- | ered chiffon, wearing a cluster of gar- | denias. They also were assisted by | the bridegroom’s mother, Mrs. As- | muth, who wore a lovely gown of sea- | green lace, with a bouquet of gardenias | at her shoulder.
