Miss Karen Irene Tipple, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Tipple, 504 W.

Carrying a handkerchief given to her by her Aunt, Mrs. Fred Mertz of Milwaukee, with her cascade of pink the bride wore a floor-length organza roses and white feathered carnations, gown styled with elbow-length sleeves and a scooped neckline. The skirt was designed with unpressed pleats. Her elbow length veil was held in place by a crystal crown touched with seed pearls.

Miss Susanne Tipple, Madison, was her sister’s honor attendant, and Miss Christine Dyer, 153 Harding St., was bridesmaid. They wore coral organza street-length dresses fashioned with bell skirts and matching organza jackets. Circlets of flowers held their brief veils and they carried cascades of blue, white and yellow daisies.
