ton of $4,000. This was bitterly fought by

WHAT CEDAR RIDGE Is LIKE.

This Cedar Ridge. to which Allan Macnaugh-
tan took his wife last Sunday. after a simple
marriage ceremony, successfully hidden from
public gaze, is a comfortable little. bungalow
like house. surrounded by 200 acres OF rich up
land a tiny enclave in the 10,000-acre estate of
the late William Walter Phelps, once Minister to
Germany. On horseback and in her favorite
fourth hand Myra Kelly and her husband are
spending their honeymoon driving through the
score and more of shady lanes and not too
public roads leading through this great estate.
Their only neighbors are the tenant farmers of
