 ANhere early fa's the dew, And it's there that Annie Laurie
 Gie'd me her promise true
 Emma Cutler-Ferguson, a direct descendant of Annie Laurie is to marry this spring Her husband to-be Is Major Vivian Eyr, late of the royal air forces. Her family home is Craigdarroch, Dumfrieshire, Scotland. It was there that An nie Laurie" married AIick Fergu- son, after jilting a lover who ac- tually did ''lie down and die," as he intimated he might be quite willing "Gie'd me her promise true,
 Which ne'er forgot will be; And for bonnie Annie Laurie
 I'd lay me down and dee"
 While Major Eyr isn't given to poetical effect, it is very probable that he has told Annie Laurie's twentieth century descendant the same old, old story-''For you I'd lay me down and dee." Most lovers say that. It is fortunate that jilting so seldom persuades them to lie down and die. Usually, nova days with the fact that there's as big fish in the sea as any that were caught" These are not Annie Laurie" days. There are of 1920.
