CURED the marriage of their daugh-

ceremony was witnessed by few
relatives and very select friends of
the bride and groom. After the cere-

was served In the home in the real
Scotch style. The bride was at
tended by two of her sisters, Misses
Agnes and Jessie, and the groom by
his brother, John Jones, and Robert

attired in gown of white silk with
cream overlace, and the costume of
