ton to be present on Tuesday, the 23rd

gether prove as ideal as they have been
apart, then "love, hope and joy, fair
pleasures smiling train," will mingle
with every light and shadow across
their pathway, and help to give the
strength and color to coming years of
experience that true living demands.
We extend congratulations and best
wishes in advance.
