CELEBRATE GOLDEN
WEDDING
Fiftieth Anniversary Of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. C. Aundstrom Finds
No Break in Family.
Toast.

|
sweet little mate
They've been living together for SO
Long years,
Sharing their sorrows, their hopes
and their fears.
Their children are eight-four girls
and four boys;
! suppose they were troubles, but also
joys.
Their grandchildren number twenty
three,
A ivelier bunch you never did see.
! The family circle has never been brok-
en-,
A circle Of love and faith not spoken.
Grandfather says he's henpecked
man;
Grandmother says, prove it, sir, II
you can!"
My grandmother is so sweet, gentle
and kind
To be ruled by her no one should mind
Now may their lives be happy and
long,
And full of joy-one grand sweet
song. s

laced along the center aisle and at the
sides of the rooms these were looped
together by golden crepe. Each ped

rose buds like those which the
