Trinity Church Rite Saturday Unites Mr. and Mrs. Jay Morse

MR. AND MRS. JAY MORSE --Lloyd Lehman photo Mr. and Mrs. Austin R. (Jay) Morse Jr., are on a honeymoon trip following their Saturday afternoon marriage at Trinity Episcopal Church, Miami. The bride, the former Miss Coral Paine, daughter of Judge and Mrs. Philip E. Paine of 1203 Columbus Boulevard, chose a coral theme throughout for her wedding decorations, in deference to her name and that of Coral Gables, her native city. Pretty as her exotic name indicates, the bride wore an original model of ivory slipper satin with rose design of seed pearls. A polonaise drape with a long court train, fanning out from beneath a bustle, featured the skirt. The yoke and sleeves were made of Alencon lace matching her sweetheart cap from which was draped an antique Spanish lace veil over tulle. An orchid corsage and stephanotis streamers decorated her white prayerbook. Her father gave her in marriage and the Rev. G. I. Hiller officiated at the double ring ceremony. Mrs. Francis P. O'Brien Jr., of Lowell, Mass., sister of the bride, was matron of honor. Reversing the situation of a year ago when she was wed on the same Saturday in June, Mrs. O'Brien wore her own wedding dress, also an original model of ivory slipper satin. Accentuating the coral theme, the other attendants wore coral crepe back satin, fashioned like the matron of honor. They all wore sweetheart headdresses, matching the brides. Madelyn McQuaide, who sang, also sang at the sister's wedding a year ago. The marriage joins two longtime Gables families who were next door neighbors fifteen years ago, when the bride and groom were childhood playmates. The bride is the younger daughter of Judge Philip Paine, Miami lawyer, lecturer and author of many books and articles on income and estate taxes, who was Coral Gables Judge for three years, and the groom is the oldest son of Austin R. (Jay) Morse, Sr., co-owner and sales manager of Florida Fuel Oil Company and for many years active in the Elks, Power Squadron and numerous other civic enterprises and, during the War, volunteered the services of himself and cabin cruiser in the Coast Guard Reserve. The reception was held at the Paine home. The wedding cake, trimmed with coral roses was cut by the bride and groom and refreshments served under the porte cochere and on the adjoining lawn and gardens. Mrs. Russell Fultz assisted while Neil Champion assisted at the punch bowls. Miss Dorothy Allen was in charge of the bride's book at the church and at the reception. The bride's mother wore a long dress of periwinkle nylon marquisette over coral with bodice of periwinkle sequins and hat to match and a corsage of red roses. The bridegroom's mother wore a long gown of ivory brocade taffeta, a hat of dusty pink, matching accessories, with a corsage of pink roses. Upon their return, the newlyweds will reside at 670 N. E. 71st Street, Miami, until their new home in Bryan Manor, 761 N. E. 142nd Street, is completed. Out of town guests in addition to the bride's sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Frank P. O'Brien, Jr., of Lowell, Mass., included Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Wheeler, formerly of Miami, who were married a year ago and are now attending the University of Florida together; Joan Tibbits and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Tibbits of Washington, D. C. The bride's going-away suit was a coral faille trimmed with flamingo with a coral hat of same material with flamingo colored ostrich tips.

BY HELEN REYNOLDS, SOCIETY EDITOR Mr. and Mrs. Robert Andre, of 426 Alhambra Circle, entertained at a party Saturday night and beat the heat by asking their guests to come dressed as kiddies.

Clayton and daughter Linda of 611 Avenue Sorolla, have joined Mr. Clayton in Honolulu, arriving there May 29, after making the entire trip by air. They were there for the June 6 wedding of Miss Idanthea Lea Craddock and John William Rowe which took place in a private suite in the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. Mr. Clayton gave the bride, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Price Craddock, of Washington, D. C., in marriage. Her father, who flew from Washington for the ceremonies, acted as best man for his son-in-law, and Linda Clayton was flower girl. Linda, who attends the Coral Gables Elementary School, wore a crisp organdy frock with lace trim and carried a French bouquet of pink and blue flowers in her role as flower girl. The newly wedded couple will make their home in Honolulu, where the bridegroom is his father's island representative for surplus properties. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Rowe, also of Washington. * * * Carolyn and Taylor Jennings, young pre-school-age daughter and son of Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Jennings, 614 Avenue Malaga, are spending the summer in Fredericksburg, Va., the guests of their two sets of grandparents. Judson Smith, their maternal grandfather, came down last week for a short visit with Mr. and Mrs. Jennings and accompanied the children to the Virginia city. Mrs. Jennings reports the children are happy, that Carolyn mentioned her mother rather wistfully the first night or two but a "cookie" soon put her at ease. * * * Being welcomed as newcomers to Coral Gables this week are Mr. and Mrs. Morton Harris, formerly of Nashville, Tenn., and Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Naughton, who called St. Louis, Mo., home. Mr. and Mrs. Naughton have purchased the house at 629 Avenue Palermo where, with their 12-year-old son, they will make their home. Retired from active business, Mr. Harris and his wife have bought the attractive home at 1217 Granada Boulevard, which they have entirely redecorated and refurnished.
