the story of the sad sea waves, but
it was not sad story which Old Nep-
tune had for them, but, instead Of
seeing the sad side of it, they Sc
lected the more cheerful stories of
the waves, and took only a short time
to decide that wedding would be
better right now rather than long
drawn-out courtship, and the young
couple decided to secure a license.

we'll known and popular in their re-
-spective homes and the announcement
of their wedding will no doubt be a
surprise to their friends. They are
now on the island spending their
