SEQUEL TO A
Marriage of a Trained Nurse and n
Young physfciaU.

A wedding occurred at No. 524 East Mer-
rill street. at $3.50 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, where most of the guests were trained
nurses. The bride was Miss Marie Cecilia
Stolp, who was graduated from the Nurses
Training School at St. Vino ent's Hospital
some months ago. Miss Stolp married DIR.
Harry H. Hewitt, who was recently gradu-
ated from the department of medicine at
Ann Arbor.
The bride. who is a young and pretty girl
of engaging manners, knew DIR. Hewitt
several years ago i'm their native town of
Glendale, n. D., and their acquaintance is
not without its romance. Miss Stolp and
DIR. Hewitt knew each other from child
hood. Young Hewitt a few years ago be-
came a student at Ann ArbOr, and while
spending his first vacation at home he and
Miss Stolp became engaged, and il was
decided that she should become a trained
nurse. She at once applied to different
hospitals for a place and was accepted at
St. Vincent's. While taking her three
years course of training the young women
in training with her knew of her engage
ment, and it had always been a source of
wonderment why a girl who expected To
be married shortly should spend three
years in a hospital training school. How
ever, the young woman kept on and some
time ago was graduated with honors. The
guests of honor yesterday were the six
young women who were of the
bride. They were Miss Mary Whetsell,
Miss Grace Roxbury, Miss Elizabeth Pat
terson, Miss Blanche Stops. Miss Leota
Wright and Miss Myrtle Thaldorf. There
were also present Miss Minnie Prang, Miss
Jeanette Ferris, Miss Mary Bowen and
Miss Alice Brown, who are at present en-
gagged in work at the hospital. The cere-
mony was performed by the Rev. II. II.
Hewitt, father of the groom, assisted by
the Rev. J. a. Knowlton, of the South
street Baptist Church.
