A cablegram was received yesterday
| from Manila announcing the marriage
| for Miss Laura Hornung and John l..
| Barrett, which took place Thursday
The bride is the daughter of Adam
Hornung of this city and sailed last
month, expecting to meet her fiance
in Japan. But they made their plans
| before the war broke out between
Japan and Russia and at Honolulu
| Miss Hornung received a cable from
Mr.. Barrett asking her to come direct
| ly to Manila where the wedding took
place. Both the bride and the bride
groom are we'll known in Minneapolis
and their many friends will be inter-
ested in learning of Miss Hornung's
safe arrival after her long journey
and Of her happy marriage.
At the matinee yesterday little
group of women were commenting on
the story of Lady Mimic and her after
noon party for which the absent
minded aide de camp neglected to
send invitations which was in h e
J o n a the other evening, and one

tons had been sent out.

Never mind, Mrs. Blank she said,
and I could have Rugged her for her
good nature, Well give them some
thing to eat, but think you had better

kitchen memorandum.

any means and I never realized the
possibilities of canned goods as I did
then, but L never let them suspect that
they had come two days before they
were expected, and I suppose they all
commented on the strangeness of the
menu after they left. You know how
women do without meaning to criti-
cize?"
And they all nodded their heads as
tho they did but this may perhaps ex-
plain to the nine women why they had
