coming via automobiles, Alba Lewis fur

of the party in his auto. Mark Fan

play joke on his relatives and friends,

small boy and girl. Well, they didn't

who were at loss to know why they
should attract so much attention on the

who had been welded forty years. But
the 'joshing" was kept up by the small
boys until the couple were out of sight.

bride and groom laughed heartily over
the incident.
