Mr.. AND MRS. JASPER GIBBS, Jr
The Recipients of Uncommon Tokens
of Friendship and Esteem
After Wedding.

1t is very common, in fact the
usual custom, for friends of popular
prospective brides and grooms, to
have various evidences of friendli-
ness and esteem extended to them
just prior to, and at the time of
their wedding, in the way of ''show-
ers" and wedding presents. But
seldom, if ever, has a couple had
such large number of these evil
dences rendered after marriage as
fell to the lot of Mr.. and Mrs. Jasper
Gibbs, Jr,. of Minneapolis and St.
Paul respectively.
These young people, while they did
not elope, quite unexpectedly hied
themselves to Chicago and had their
nuptial knot tied there instead of at
home. This action, while quite un-
satisfactory to many Of their friends,
did not effectually dampen their ar
dor, and when the newly-weds re-
turned home they were given evil
dences of love and esteem such as
never were bestowed, in like manner,
upon a Twin Cities couple, as is
shown by the following:
