Cecil and her Jeffry looked very love-

beautiful Of the stained glass windows,

Aunty's face looked divinely happy,
as she took JEFF for her husband, "for
better or for worse" They certainly
made a handsome couple.
Cecil caught my eye once. and I
thought that I detected slight mois-
ture in one of his eyes. However, 1t
might have been the tears In my own
eyes.
When IL was all over, and the bride
had been kissed and Rugged and the
bridegroom as well, we went outside
again and piled back into the car, and
once more purred of towards Paris
and the Honeymoon Express that wait

time while you can" And she smiled

to our own popular Margaret. 1t also
means pearl" and has all the signi-
ficance associated with the more gen.
orally used name.
AS Mete, the name first appeared
during the time Of Klopstock's sway
over the lovers OF religious poetry. It
gained great vogue then in Germany
and soon spread to England. where It
reigned as a favorite until the taste
for even more simple names routed 1t
in the last century. In Denmark
where the Semiramis of the North has
domesticated 1t, it is called Mette and
Maret. In the literature Of that coun.

pears as Metelill, or little Margaret
Even the modern German Jews use
1t and call 1t Marialit The most cur.

which we have no equivalent.
The pearl which she represents is
Meta's talismanic gem. 1t promises
her beauty and charm and radiance
Many admirers and happy marriage
are other gifts. Monday is her lucky
day and her lucky number.
