Mrs. Hunt is the daughter Of Mrs. W
7. Price of Eastbourne, England, which
is the former home Of Mr.. Hunt, his
mother, Mrs. M. Ridsill still residing
in that city. The romance which re
suited in the wedding of Tuesday ano
which has been replete with such
ilyllic charm throughout, began
four years ago in England, when
Mr.. Hunt returned 70 visit his former
home. It was originally planned that
the wedding should take place in Eng
land, but on account of the war, II
was decided otherwise and Mrs. Hunt
made the entire journey alone. On her
arrival in New York she was met by
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Hurst, Bertha
Holman) former Salem residents, who
entertained Mrs. Hunt extensively dur
ing her stay in the metropolis. She
brought with her handsome array OF
wedding gifts, including beautiful
pieces of silver of distinctively Eng
lish pattern. The bride who is a ra-
diant impersonation of charming girl
hood at twenty, almost obliterates from
mind any thought of the daily TRACE
dies of the war-striken country, she
left behind her But back of the win
ming appeal of her girlishness lies the
poise and maturity of the true English
woman, who is swift to quicken to the
sufferings of her country.
AS to the suggestion that there
must be many lonely girls in England
now, Mrs. Hunt added "Yes, and
many mothers. So many single sons
have been lost.''
She mentioned also the fact that the
women are again rcsuming their knit
ting as the winter draws near, carrying
it with them to whatsoever there be in
the way of social affairs and even to
the opera and theatre, the bride of
the week having knitted 20 pairs of
mittens last winter.
Mrs. Hunt home in Eastbourne is
only sixty miles from London and
though no sight nor sound of the Yep
pelin raids penetrated within her home
precincts, yet the excitement which pre-
vailed in the aftermath of the Zeppe-
Inns course, flooded far and beyond
Eastbourne and other neighboring
towns. Last winter when portion of
a regiment, was stationed at East
bourne, various homes were called upon
to house the soldiers, that Of Mrs.
Hunt and her mother accommodating six.
When questioned as to any emotion
felt by the passengers as the ship on
which Mrs. Hunt sailed, crossed the
war zone, she replied that considerable
relief was evidenced on board.
She who left an old country, maid,
to become bride in o new land, has
enthusiastically expressed herself as
thoroughly in love with Oregon and in
particular the town of Salem itself,
where she and Mr.. Hunt will make
their home. Mr.. Hunt is the official
pianist at the Grand theatre and as a
result of his wide popularity has many
friends in the city who viii do honor
to his bride and welcome her as a
happy addition to their midst.
