WAR PARTING OF NAVY BRIDE

The husband, Harry Coleman. also

doing it,"
There was more talk Of the com
panative validity Of the marriage
certificate and enlistment papers. Of
the relative strength Of the bonds
of matrimony and the ties OF pa
triotism, which wound up nowhere.
Finally the bride disclosed the
reason for her indomitable courage
in being willing TO go to the aid
OF the whole United States navy,
and brought sighs OF relief 20 every
body around and about.
