ter they had been united. when a telegram
to the brides mother announced the news.

exceedingly popular young man, and Is

BILE reputation as an artist, several pro-
auctions OF her brush having been pur-
chased to adorn the walls of the Valen-
tine Museum. She was accustomed TO go
each morning to the studio Of Miss Lily

day morning her mother and sisters

the surprise when they received a tele-
gram announcing her marriage in Halt
