Rev. e. G. Alrieh, pastor of Grace

presence of Miss ShaifAr's father and
mother and the two Caucasians who
acted az bridesmaids and groomsman.
None of Mr.. Sings friends had the
pleasure of participating. They were
rigidly barred out. After the ceremony
had been performed Mrs. Snaffer
looked admiringly at sher daughter and
then at her son-in-law. She seemed
pleased with the union.
THE BRIDE Is ATTRACTIVE.
Mrs. Sing is quite an attr active
young woman. She is a blonde, and
whenever she appears on the street is
