A number of very elaborate affairs have been given this past week for Miss Gladys Mars, whose marriage to Elmer Becker was an event of Wednesday evening. Among them were a theater party to see "Joseph and his Brethren" on Friday evening given by the ushers for the bridal party; another theater party on Saturday afternoon, to see "Peg o' My Heart," given by Miss Florence Schofield; and a weekend party at the home of Miss Charlotte Fries in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The Kenilworth Club were greatly amused Tuesday evening when they were invited to witness a mock trial presented by local talent. Judge J. C. Everett occupied the bench, and the attorneys were Mr. Percy B. Eckhardt and Mr. A. F. Reichman. The jury was made of both ladies and gentlemen and included Mesdames Serrell, Case, Ridgeway, L. Wilson, H. H. Everett, and R. Darling, and Messrs. Bievens, Ghee, Warren Pease, Edward Wheeler and Sam Holden. The plot seemed to be that the maid employed by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Armstrong had been lured into a conspiracy, formed by Mr. and Mrs. James Chapman and Dr. Charles Horsewell, requring that she go into the employ of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Foresman. The jury returned a verdict of 50 cents and costs against Mr. Francis Farwell.

At the opening meeting of the Neighbors last week, Mrs. Frank M. Barrett, as hostess of the afternon, delighted her friends with the portrayal of "Life in the Tyrol," in a very pleasing manner. The stage was transformed into a beautiful living room in a Tyrolese home, the furnishings having been obtained through the generosity of Marshall Field & Co., and also from antiques and relics of the hostess, gained by her wile spending her summers as a young girl in that country. Mrs. Barrett was dressed as a peasant maid and gave a most interesting account of the characteristics and customs of the times. Two young men, arrayed in the splendor of the costumes of the Tyrolese, with their zithers, made the setting complete. A marked feature of the afternoon was the reproduction of the native airs by the Neighbors' chorus. Refreshments were served and small cakes made in the Tyrolese fashion.

One of the most attractive weddings of the season took place Wednesday evening, when Miss Gladys Mars, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Mars of Kenilworth, was united in marriage to Mr. Elmer David Becker, son of Mrs. Minnie L. Becker of 1439 Winona avenue, Chicago. The ceremoy took place at the Church of the Holy Comforter, with Rev. George Craig Stewart of St. Luke's church, Evanston, officiating. The church was very prettily decorated in autumn leaves and yellow chrysanthemums in various shades. The bride wore a gown of bridal satin, with rose point lace and pearl trimmings, made with a court train. Her veil of tulle and lace was caught in a bunch of orange blossoms. She carried a shower bouquet of white orchids and lilies of the valley. Her sister, Miss Lillian B. Mars, as maid of honor, was gowned in autumn coloring, as were also the bridesmaids, the Misses Ethel Westman, Gertrude McKinley, Edna M. Becker, a sister of the groom, and Florence Schofield. Their gowns were made with a shaded yellow crepe de meteor foundation, under three flounces of yellow tulle. The bodices were trimmed in metal. Each gown was a trifle darker than the first.t Shower bouquets of marguerites and yellow roses in their many varieties, were carried by all of the attendants. The groom was attended by Mr. Carl Lill of Minneapolis, Minn., as best man, and the following young men acted as ushers: Messrs. Franlklin Ellis, Harold W. Neeves, Joseph Fitch and John J. Gunderson, all of Chicago. Immediately following the service, a reception was held at the home on Oxford road. Miss Mars attended Northwestern university, and is a member of the Chi Omega sorority. After an extended honeymoon Mr. and Mrs. Becker will be at home at 1336 Albion avenue, Rogers Park, on Nov. 1
