son were married yesterday afternoon in
Calvary Presbyterian Church. The en-
gagement was announced only two weeks
ago, but no sooner is the engagement an
nounced these days than the wedding bells
ring out clear and loud. Elizabeth looked
stunning She is tall and graceful as can
be, and her dark hair made lovely con-
trast to the white veil. Only the immediate
families were present and there was a
small reception afterward at the home Of
Mrs. Oberteuffer in Sixteenth street.
. INHERE'S not much use in naming q
wedding date Is there, if one has to con-
slider times and tides of sailings? There's
Helen Borda, who expected to sail for st.
Croix, in the Virgin Islands, on Thursday
OF last week. She did not get off till late
on Friday and probably will not reach St
CroiX before this Friday. And she and
Doctor Royster planned to be married OH
January 10. However, 1t will only be q
question of two or three days delay. Helen
Is to meet Mrs. l.. G. Hakanson at st
Thomas, who will go on with her to St
Croix and will act as matron of honor at
the wedding. They have promised to cable
the family when the happy event takes
place. and I shall hope to hear also and
will let you know. NANCY WYNNE.
