was more than the usual sentiment
about the affair, for the Draper girls

new king and queen know practically
nothing of their existence unless they
happen to have done something outre
Then, indeed, they need never aspire
to obtain a footing in the court of
George V and his consort. For, be it
known, Queen Mary, who keeps his
majesty under her thumb, intends above

be as immaculate as that of Victoria.
1t is the intention of the queen to
make morality the very height of
fashion. Divorces and women sepa-

knack of getting there are bound to
gain her the recognition and favor of
the new sovereign.
The wedding of Miss Dorothy Draper
and Ensign Kirkwood Donavin. that
took place last Tuesday, fulfilled every
expectation of what a June wedding
should be at home. There was the
glitter of the service, to be sure, in
the uniforms of the officers and few
flags to emphasize the naval aspect of
the affair, but the wedding was notably
simple. The long drawing room of the
Draper home was turned into a sort
of chapel and long aisle of flowers

The brides gown was exceptionally
