GARDEN SETTING IS SCENE OF WEDDING OF MODOC MAID
At a beautiful garden ceremony performed Thursday morning at 10 o’clock at
the home of the bride’s grandmother, Mrs. Jessie Stiner, and aunt, Miss Ina
Stiner, Arthayda Helen Stiner became the bride of Clyde E. Quick, the
impressive ring service being read by Rev. Virgil A. Vinyard of Cedarville,
California. Carrying out a tradition in the family of the bride, the wedding
Thursday morning marked the fourth generation of the Stiner family to be
married in the month of March.
The young couple exchanged their vows beneath a beautiful arbor covered with
golden Emblem roses, banked with baskets of Calla Lilies. Greenery and a
lattice entwined with sweet peas in their loveliness of coloring, iris and
roses formed a veritable bower. Pansies bordered the lawn and a wealth of
beautiful blossoms formed a background for the ceremony, charming beyond
description. Rustic garden furniture in gay colors, the songs of birds from
the branches of nearby trees, the perfume of orange blossoms in the air and
the mellow sunlight falling through the leafy arbors, made the scene one
long to be remembered.
The bride entered the garden on the arm of her father, Arthur Stiner. She
was lovely in a flowing gown of white silk chiffon, the long skirt fashioned
with ruffled panel inserts and the bodice with puffed sleeves. The softly
pleated girdle was of palest pink and blue velvet. She carried a bouquet of
gardenias, lilies-of-the-valley, delphinium and ferns. Her kerchief was of
rose point lace, belonging to her great aunt. Her pearl necklace was the
gift of the bridegroom.
The bridesmaid, Miss Marcella Stiner, sister of the bride, was charming in
yellow organdie and carried brown and yellow pansies. They were met at the
altar by the groom, the minister and Adrian Quick, who served his brother as
best man. Other members of the bridal party, who were grouped about the
improvised altar, were Mrs. Arthur Stiner, mother and Miss Ina Stiner, aunt
of the bride; Mrs. Carl Pisor and Norman Jackson.
The bridge’s mother wore flowered silk crepe with a corsage of roses and
delphinium. Mrs. Guy Quick, mother of the groom, was costumed in rose beige
crepe with white accents and wore a wide brimmed hat, flower trimmed. Miss
Stiner wore silk flowered chiffon of blue and rose, with a corsage of roses
and delphinium. Mrs. Pisor was charming in a frock of tucked organdie with a
corsage of red roses.
Preceding the ceremony, Mrs. Ruth Winton, friend of the bride, played a
beautiful concert of pre-nuptial music, the piano being placed on the porch,
the railing of which was festooned with bridal wreath and greenery. The
selections included "Sweet Mystery of Life", "Ich Liebe Dich,"
"Pale Moon,"
"Because," and "Love Dream." Just efore the bridal party entered the
garden,
Carl Pisor sang "Into the Dawn With You," accompanied by Mrs. Winton.
Following the ceremony a buffet breakfast was served. Mrs. Carl Pisor and
Mrs. Orville Jeffers presided at the refreshment table. Assisting Miss
Stiner as hostess was her sister, Mrs. Arthur Stiner, mother of the bride.
The bride’s cake, baked by Mrs. W. G. Noakes, was cut by Mrs. Quick in
traditional custom.
The gifts were arranged by Miss Grace Stiner, cousin of the bride and
included among the magnificent array of china, silver, linens, glassware and
other articles, a crocheted bedspread, the work and gift of the bride’s
grandmother, Mrs. Jessie Stiner, who fashioned the gift after she had
attained the age of 90 years.
Other notable gifts included a lovely silver coffee and waffle service, gift
of the grandmother and an aunt of the groom; a Fostoria set, chests of
silver and many beautiful pieces of table ware and embroidered linens,
besides some valuable family heirlooms.
Besides the out-of-town guests, there were many from Porterville, who
witnessed the beautiful ceremony, more than 150 being bidden.
The bride, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur W. Stiner of Cedarville, formerly
made her home here. She is a graduate of the Porterville union High School
and of the Fresno State College of the department of music. She is a member
of the Delta Mu Phi sorority. Following her graduation from college, she
returned to make her home here two years and during that time was organist
at the First Methodist Church and was most popular in musical and social
circles in this city. The announcement of her betrothal in the spring of
1932 was the signal for a large number of showers and delightful social
affairs. For the past year she has been with her parents in Cedarville.
Mr. Quick is the son of Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Quick of Ben Hur and is also a
graduate of Fresno State College. He was president of the junior class of
that institution and was popular in campus activities. Mr. Quick is also
affiliated with the Mu Alpha Delta fraternity, the Omicron Pi, an honorary
society and the Alpha Phi Gamma, journalistic society.
He is now a teacher of history, social civics and journalism in the
Chowchilla high school, where the new home will be established, following a
motor honeymoon along the coast. Mrs. Quick’s going-away costume was a
