for several months longer. when the
news was told in the society columns.
Fluctuations followed and the two, who
were the center of attention at the
time. said that it did not make any ma
terial difference, but that they had sue
ceeded in lodging the shrewd guesses
of their friends for while, at any rate.
When Miss Crittenden was questioned
about the attentions of the young
southerner and the significance Of the
sparkling solitaire on her finger she
laughed and always said. Why, he is
my cousin That fact seemed to pre-

fascinating little bride elect added,

fact that the families are distantly re-
lated. No definite date has been men
toned for the wedding, but it will be
an event OF the spring.
