The Crouch-Wiuiams wedding was very
gay and jolly. OF course. the church was
packed. since the Delmar Baptist is not
very large. and the cards sent out went well
up into the hundreds. y. white wedding

SO pretty. with plenty of color in their

The bride and bridegroom came down the
stairs after the reception, and let us shower
them with rice in most cood-nlturcd fash

giving the guests the slip and taking their
carriage from the back door. But not this

In the last act of this same play she wears
a small point lace shawl that is very old,
once belonging to 4 French Princess of the
reign of the last Louis. Mrs. Campbell is
