1t only goes to prove that the usual
opera!goer does appreciate good music and
Is willing to go to popular-priced operas,
even If the scenic effects are not those OF
the Metropolitan; at least the voices are
on a par with the finest, many of them
being Metropolitan stars and the others

ND you go to the zeckwer- McDonogh
- wedding yesterday? 1t was awfuly
pretty. In st. Patrick's Church, you know,
and there never was a more wonderful
background for a wedding than that gor-
geous church, with its wide sanctuary and
beautiful marble affairs. The bridesmaids
and ushers were arranged in two rows on
prie deus and knelt there during the
ceremony and the nuptial mass, which was
said by Monsgnor Kieren, who is rector
of that church, and who will, incidentally,
celebrate this year his fiftieth anniversary
in the priesthood.
The sanctuary was simply banked on
either side with huge palms and pink
climbing roses and azaleas, and the altar
was decorated with pink cluster roses.
Jamard's white uniform and those of four
of his ushers added greatly to the pic
turesqueness of the scene, ami Agnes GER
tainly did look lovely Her dress was
sweet, all tulle and cloth of silver, and she
wore low coronet of orange blossoms.
which was so much more becoming than
the stiff coronet effects so many brides are
wearing this year. Jamard is an ensign Of
the navy you know, and is stationed at
Lewes, Del, at present SO after short
there.
TNHEY really had delightful time, the
L girl who was helping to entertain the
sailors and marines and the big handsome
marine who played Three Deep" with
her.
Don't be worried, gentle reader; "Three
Deep" is simply another word for French
tag l believe, In the language of the chill
dren. and, as Ethel says: ITS more darn
fun. One is it and you stand in a
circle, and the one that's it-no I think
there are two it'-but anyhow, you stand
In two circles, one outside of the other,
and you have partners and hold handa,
and the one that's it stands in front Of
one couple in the inside of the circle, and
then the one opposite the one that's 1T
makes it three deep and that one has to
run. It's more darn fun; we used to do
II at school," Well, it certainly sounds
funny to me. / can't quite yet get where
the one runs to nor how long he or she
runs or keeps on running and how you
get to be 'it" next time; but they tell me
no one else does, so what's the difference?
However, it's more darn fun"
And tffen, anyway, this story is not about
"Three Deep; it's about the girl and the
marine. Well, after he and she had played
she danced with a sailor boy and then an
other marine sauntered up and they talked
and talked, and in between times the first
marine would come up and talk and talk.
too Well, he was almost making an i'm
preston when the second marine re.
marked sweetly: He's niceookng, isn't
bao And ,ooks so yOlInC too You'd never
dream he was married and had little
daughter four years old, would you?'
Nice fellows, these men, aren't they?
But you can't blame them If they see a
perfectly nice girl about Ito fall FOR gay
deceiver now can you? Anyway, she had
fun and so had the two marines. I'll war
rant. And no one was hurt.
