Miss Frances Eddy presided at the
organ in her usually graceful and artis-
tic manner, and entertained the waiting

1t is seldom that Hymen is called up
on to sanction marriage with more
suspicious and happy prospects, and if
the old saying is true that 'Happy is
the bride that the sun shines on" their
future is certainly one of assured pleas
