Wedding at
81. Matthew.
A wedding scheduled for next weeA
OF real interest is that of Alice Far
ington Flynn, who will be married on
Wednesday TO Horace Maher. The en-
gagement was only announced about
q month ago, but the friends Of the
couple have known Of the coming
wedding for some time. They met at
a house party at Col. J. E. Dana's
summer home near White Sulphur
Springs two years ago. Although
Horace's home is in Roanoke he has
been very much in evidence around
here ever since.
At present he is at Fort Monroe
with the National Guard from Roam
oke, and Alice will be another war
bride.
Therefore the honeymoon will be
cut short, and instead of occupying
their home in Raleigh Court. a suburb
of Roanoke, Alice will probably take
a cottage at Old Point this summer
to be near her husband.
The wedding is to be at st. Mat
tn .ws Church and will be followed by
a reception for the bridal party at
Rauschers Margaret Cannon is to be
maid of honor and Anne LOTUS, of
New York, Alice's Cousin, and Flor
ence Mcdonnell will be the brides
maids. She will be given in marriage
by her uncle, John Lotus of New
York.
Walter Maher, of Norfolk. will be
the best man for his brother, and
Arthur Maher, of New York, Robert
Flynn, of Wilmington, Del, Stewart
will be ushers. A large number of
out-of-town folks will come on for the
wedding.
Did you notice that a daughter OF
each of the Senators from North Da-
kota announced their wedding dates
last week. Amy Gronna not only an
nounced both the engagement and
date last week, but was married last
night. Kemper Cowing, the bride
groom, did look so elated. 1t was
only the end OF February-February
% to be exact-that Amy's sister,
Grace Gronna, married Carl w. Lew
is, of Minneapolis.
These two North Dakota brides
both selected Saturday too, for their
wedding day. Helen McCumber and
Lieutenant Brand will be married
