down to 50 below zero, the interest in

Methodist Episcopal Church, passing
through floral gates that were swung

or more handsomegroom." The bride
wore white Shanghai silk gown with
embroidered chiffon trimming, long
tulle veil wreathed and draped with
orange blossoms, holding Nephetos

gloves. just as the happy union was
made the sun shone through the STAIN

ance and calling to mind the sentiment,
Happy the bride, the sun shines on. y
