A-EEEL SR SSShtieth ah cr RE Tes 24 WINNETKA TALK September 4, 1926 I THT II Early Autumn Seems Popular Season for Marriage Services By Jean Ten Broeck Another surge comes over the mat- rimonial sea, and makes the early autumn a rival of June, the proverbial month of brides. Weddings, and even more weddings are items of news per- sistently reported that indicate they take the leading role on society's stage at present. At least so it seems to one who returns to her desk after a three-week period of absence, remote from the north shore, but not entirely out of touch with its activities, how- ever. For in a spot in northern Michi- gan, charmingly picturesque and sceni- cally beautiful, we found not less than fifteen north shore families vacationing there, some in homes of their own. others, visitors. At one large bridge party, twelve residents of Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka, Hubbard Woods and Glencoe were guests. Even during their time of rest, however, some of them are pursuing the same interests ot their north shore life, and establishing for themselves in a summer colony, the same reputations for artistic expression they have earned here, to be more specific, one as an artist, one as a dramatic reader of exceptional ability, and one as a maker of rock gardens. Saturday, September 25, has been chosen by Miss Margaret McCue as the time of her marriage to Perry William Lieber, son of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Lieber of Winnetka. The ceremony will take place at the home of Miss McCue's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles McCue, of Wilmette, at_8:30 o'clock, the Rev. Stephen A. Lloyd officiating. Both Miss McCue and her fiance are graduates of New Trier High school. The bride elect attended Dana hall, Wellesley, Mass., one year, the Uni- versity of California, southern branch, one year, and spent the past year at the University of Illinois, where Mr. Lieber has been a student for three years. Miss McCue is a member of the Phi Beta Phi sorority and Mr. Lieber is a Phi Kappa Sigma. The wedding of Miss Beatrice Met- zel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Metzel of Kenilworth, and William Parish White, son of Mr. and Mrs. George E. White of Wilmette, will take place Saturday evening, October 9, at 8:30 o'clock, at St. Augustine's Episcopal church, Wilmette, Dr. Hu- bert Carleton reading the service. A reception will follow at the Kenilworth club. Miss Winifred Metzel will be her sister's maid of honor, and the bridesmaids will be another sister, Mrs. James P. Prindle, Mrs. Nathaniel W. James, both of Evanston, Mrs. Truman Metzel of Highland Park, Miss Mar- garet Neilson and Miss Eleanor Buck- man of Wilmette and Miss Ethel Berger of Kenilworth.
