tracing parties were present.
In spite of the secrecy observed the
fact became known to few intimate
friends, who at once engaged the services

prepared to give the happy couple a
serenade. AS soon as the ceremony was
over, an agreed signal was sounded by
spy who had gained access to the house,

had rendered few peices, the groom
appeared at the door and invited all in,
where congratulations were extended 70
bride and groom. Refreshments were
served, and the friends of M r. and Mrs.

wishing them, long life and happiness.
