place, was to have been church affair,
with bridesmaids flower girls and a
soloist.
The folks in South Plainfield are
saying now that Hobert always was a
shy. timd sort Of chap. Maybe
they say. the idea of walking up the
aisle before lot of people and all
the fuss and feathers just scared him
plumb to death. Then again, :. is

echoed in parts of South Plainheld.
that the legacy which Hobert went 20
Perth Amboy to collect Oh Monday
night was not forthcoming. It's all
very mysterious and the Field family
refuses to talk about it at all.
The Hobert- Field Wedding should
have taken place yesterday morning in
the Church of the Sacred Heart, which
was all decorated with orange bios
sons and white lilies and carnations.
The Rev. Father Baldwin. who was to

and bouquet almost as big as herself,
and Miss Katherine Wilson, who was
to sing 40 Promise Me-" had box Of

The bride was charming and flushed
and excited, and the brides mother
was proud and just little bit tear
full. and the brides father was beam
ing on everybody and worrying a bit
about tight high collar, and the best

Half an hour before the time for the

that he hasn't shown up yet.
The bride is naturally on the verge

of the wedding party is occupied be
