This - the story Of Q bride ana q

he ought to know. for you could not
count all the couples he has united.
nor all the subsequent little married
knots he has Strengthened u But
even Father McGuiri never before per-
F--Med a marriage just like this one.
The bride was Kathleen M. Conway
or M~ayhora, Castlecomsr. County Kill
Kenny. Ireland. The Bridegroom In
Patrick j. Kennedy Of Fernie, British
Columbia. OF all places In the world
they chose to be married in Brooklyn.
But this Is why: Each wanted to come
halfway to meet the other.

lumbia, so we agreed to meet each
other half way. Father McGuirl told

fers the lean after. all. then she should
start, In and accustom herself to liking
the fat anyway. so that her husband
may have what he prefers.
But that sounds like all the rights for
the husband" vas suggested to Mrs.
Kennedy.
