according TO the request of Doctor Dunlap,
aud declaring she would put them on as
soon as the ceremony WAS over. The
controversy among the guests, as TO who

would discoverihe trick. She had already
been appealed 10 BY one old woman. who
told her she had heard that BOSWELL was
TO be her son-inlaw. Mrs. Slanly de-
cared il was an "arIanl lie," raised by
