However, Mr.. johnson. who was here
for a New Year visit, found that he
had business which would take him
to California, ard persuaded his
nancee to be married at once, so that
she could go with him.

mcnt at 1925 II street for an informal
reception. And in spite of the short
notice there was actually wedding
cake and a bowl of punch. and some
twenty five or thirty friends of the
bride had been called together by
phone to wish her happiness.
Mr.. And Mrs. Converse are now in
New York. and after their Western
trips. upon which they will start
shortly, will make their home in
