of practical sentimentality in these pro-
sale days When Joseph B. Stevens and
Nellie Marshall were joined in Wedlock on
the 21st of last month another chapter
was added to a latter-day love story that
would be a veritable gem in the hands Of
a literary artist. The philosophers who
agree that there is nothing graceful in
the unitarian, commercial and mechani-
cal lives of people in this generation to
inspire the idyls of Tennyson, the love
songs of a Wordsworth or the dainty ball
lads of a Tom Moore may find some rea-
son to reverse their opinion because of
the little affair Of two hearts herewith
narrated.
The time Of the opening act in this ro-
nance was the winter of 1S94-95 The
scene was the brown painted wooden
orange-packing house of the Fruit Grow
ers' Exchange at Azusa. The beginning
was prosaic enough. Hundreds of people
have done the same thing before, but
none ever had the romantic turn that this
act of Miss Nellie MarshalPs had.
Among the residents in the foothill
hamlet of Glendora, close to Azusa, in
Los Angeles County, several years ago
was Mrs Agnes Marshall, widow of John
p Marshall She had two daughters,
Nellie and Emma, aged Is and 13 respec-

was done, and it is about time that
the members of the Order took an

little. There are over l 900 men,

it would do many of them good to
attend picnic and get little rec
