The bridal couple stood underneath a

The house throughout was decorated
in smilax and sweet peas, festooned
from the chandeliers TO the walls In

A glance at the program for the ST.
Patricks night entertainment at the
Towle Opera House tomorrow evening
by the Dramatic club of All Saints
church shows an abundance of express
sion of the spirit of old Erin Being
primarily an Irish holiday. it is but
appropriate that the program to be
given should be an expression of the
humorous and more serious phases of
the Irish character and in this the
program has been well balanced.
Past performances by the children
of All Saints school, and by other
amateur talent in the congregation are
the guarantee for the excellent enter
tainment that is to be given tomorrow
night The prediction earlier in the
week, that the house would be sold
out, promises to be true In the bust
ness district the exchange tickets which
are necessary in order to procure re-
served seats, are on sale at Kennedy

The program for the evening will be
