attended a religious service, at one time, for
three months. We rather like the idea of max.
ing these ceremonies more imposing, and i'm.
pfessiIe, than is usual. The names of the par.
Ties VIII be found in the marriage notices. The
happy pair started on wedding tour the same
day to extend as far as Washington.
