Elaborate Plans
Indeed, it's a wise bride who makes
no plans, particularly when the bride
groom belongs to the service, in these
parlous days, for plans have more
than the usual tendency to gang
agley. Little Mary Parker, whose
marriage to DR.. William Otis Bailey
took place last evening, had to make
all arrangements for her wedding be-
tween lunch time on Tuesday and the
hour of the ceremony, for DIR. Bailey
suddenly received orders for duty.
The worst of it is that nowadays or
ders are sealed and beyond the fact
that he must report for duty next
Friday, his little bride has no knowl-
edge Of where he is going. In spite
of the hurried preparations it was a
charming wedding, very sweet and
homelike, and Mary never looked pret-
