Yops-Gilleland Vows Repeated

THE REV. V. P. STEWART read the 7:30 p.m. service yesterday in St. James Episcopal Church uniting Miss Ruth Yops, daughter of Fred C. Yops, N. 95th St., and Walter Hamilton Gilleland, Pittsburgh.
   Mrs. John B. Dempsey, Pittsburgh, was matron of honor, and Miss Blanche Stocker the bridesmaid. They were in forest-green crepe gowns, and carried boquets[sic] of poinsettias, which were also seen in their hair.
   The bridal gown of ivory satin had a seed pearl trim at the net yoke inset. A pearl Juliet cap held her veil. She carried white orchids and gardenias.
   Mr. Dempsey was the best man. Those ushering were Norman A. Stocker, Glenn Fitch and Fred Yops, Jr.
   Mrs. Gilleland is a graduate of Milwaukee State Teachers’ College, where she affiliated with Pi Theta Alpha and Mu Iota Sigma. Her bridegroom is an alumnus of Bucknell University, Lewisburg, Pa.
   After their reception at the Surf, the young couple left on their wedding trip which will take them to Bermuda.
   They will live in Lorain, Ohio.
