Wedding Is Secret For Five Months

Guarded successfully from the knowledge of their hosts of friends for five months, the fact that on August 10th they were united in marriage was announced by Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence C. Browne on Christmas Day.

The charming bride was Miss Gwendolyn Barnes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Barnes, of 2121 Emerson street, Berkeley. The groom is a San Rafael boy, born and reared here and now editing the Sausalito News. He is a nephew of Attorney Thomas P. Boyd, the Misses Estell and Mazie Boyd and Postmaster W. J. Boyd, the latter of Sausalito.

The happy couple are making their home in a cozy little flat at 214 E street. The bride is widely known and popular in East Bay social circles. The marriage took place in Santa Rosa. Deciding that they would not take up housekeeping until about the first of the year the young couple preferred to permit the knowledge of their union to remain a secret until Christmas.
