Just so with Miss Caddie Condon, lovely daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C.F. Condon of 3724 Berry Drive, whose wedding to Ensign Alton Murray Barlow, was to have been a church ceremony here this month. But due to Navy regulations and changes, the bride-elect is leaving Friday accompanied by her mother, flying to New York to be married.

This was the first trip home for Ensign Barlow since his enlistment three years ago in the U.S. Navy. He is assigned to a destroyer and leaving soon for oversea duty.

Miss Condon accompanied by her mother flew to New York in the spring where she was married May 9, in the chapel at the Marine Academy at King’s Point Long Island, where the bridegroom was stationed. This is the first time home for the bride. She and her husband left Tuesday after a short stay, for San Francisco where Ensign Barlow had to report.
