fellow in the two cities. Inspired with
the romance which is inseparable from
so sentimental a body as the Municipal
League, of which Mr.. McVey is secre-
tary, he decided that a June wedding
would be most meet, and to add to the
glamour a secret wedding at San Ra-
fael was decided upon But confidence

Impossible to keep so portentous a Sc
cret, he unbosomed himself to a fellow

Mr. de Lancey. but nevertheless we ex-
tend the glad palm of congratulation to
your friend and hope 1t all comes true.
