friends to a more genuine or COM
plete surprise regarding their mar

Very few if any of their friends
knew that the young people were con-

Just at this time and from all ac-

termine to have the marriage cere-

n very few short hours before the
marriage did take place. Owing to
this fact and to a delay in securing
the necessary papers and the minis
ter it was just at midnight when the
fateful words were spoken that unit

The ceremony took place at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel B. Stur-

for long period. The only witness

was most general.
