There is one certain handsome. resi-
dence in town that is acquiring consid-
cradle fame as center of romance, for
it would be difficult to count the num-
Der Of matches that have been made u'n-
der it's hospitable roof, altho the gra-
cious mistress, who is one. of the most
conservative Of women, is not a match

there that "Pudge'' Heffelfnger met
his wife, who was Miss Grace Pierce of
Texas, and Thomas L. Shevlih met Miss

same place, and their engagement, you
will remember, was announced several
weeks ago.

gagement Of Miss Sherley and Mr..
Shevlin. Altho they have been engaged

it will be business instead of football
with him. Miss .Sherley was present
at every game and the members Of the
team were quick to see her and notice
her interest in their captain and his in
