damage TO shipping.
Five large lake liners wintered just
inside the breakwater wall were torn

In Cleveland. They have cargoes.
Caretakers aboard are believed to be

IL Is doubtful ii many young brides
could assist so beautifully in part
oil her marriage ceremony as did one
noted singer not long ago. The we'd
ding ceremony was performed in Il
private home. and as the wedding
march was being played, the bridal
party was descending to the parlor.
AZ the entrance was bower of mag
niiicent flowers used as screen. md
Just as the bride reached this, the
music driftcd slowly into II love song,
and sweet and beautiful sounded the
young brides voice in the impressive
sons-ceremony. AS the song ceased.
the march was played. and the party
entered the parlor. The incident was
pleasing and creating quite sensu-
