      Byrne-Olmstead Wedding at Noon Today

      A quiet home wedding at noon today united Anne Harriet Byrne and Earl Olmsted. Rev. A. W. Hare performed the ceremony, in the presence of only the immediate relatives.

      A recent death was a cause of its being even quieter than would have been the case otherwise. The spacious home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Byrne, at 320 King street, had been effectively decorated in peacock iris, jonquils and growing ferns. The bride wore a gown of navy crepe meteor, and carried flowers.

      There was a wedding breakfast, after which the couple took the train for San Francisco, en route to Los Angeles, where they will make their home. The bride has many friends here, where she was born, and attended school. She is a graduate of the University of California, and has spent the last few years away from here, in San Francisco and elsewhere. The groom is the only son of the late Herbert Olmsted. He lived here as a young boy, at the family home on Ocean street.

      He has many relatives in the south, but none here any longer. Before the war he was a cartoonist for San Francisco dailies. He was a sergeant in the sixty-second coast artillery, and served in France. He is now a designer, in which line he has very bright prospects. [10]
