.,inS ,beap on Rusty" Iarnall when
,hot feet Swarthmore back happens TO
have the ball.
Tbat's the only thing hiss newly
s;.covered bride has the least bit Of un-
,,.,ness about. she confided today, as
-. chatted at her home at 1904 Mar
.., 'street about her surprise marriage,
;. Russell Yarnall. He is student
=, swarthmore College, and n son of
W,s Edwin A. Yarnall, one Of Della
r,re County's plucky jury strikers.
"But them" exclaimed young Mrs.
y.,pall. after she had expressed her
r.e bit of uneasness, II suppose that
r,,ns up business is all part of the
game.
And she is very proud of her hus-

Mrs. Yarnall, who before her mar
wage was Miss Bessie Phillips. is n
contralto. This summer she was on n
concert tour on the Canadian Chautau-
aua circuit, and her husband was on
the same tour. She had known him
about six months before they were mar
"But." she said. that was quite
long enough for us to discover that we
esred for each other. The uncertainty
Of marriage these days does not worry
me, because feel that domestic bliss is
largely a matter of personal effort.
"We were married July 10, and de-
cided to keep 1t secret because ]
wanted Rus to finish college And then
we came home, and / could see no rca-
son why we could not announce our
marriage and have Rus finish his
course, too. One feels so sheepish about
keeping ones marriage q secret.
And 80, Rus is staying at Swarth-
more, and I'm living here with my
people"
Broke News by Wire
Mr.. and Mrs. Yarnall went to Wash
ington for a week, and from there. by

glad now that it is KNOWN said the

which fell away from her arm just
above the wrist, were lined with satin.
That Wedding Ring!
As she talked she twisted her plat
mum wedding ring about on her finger
and sitting at the piano, running hci
fingers idly over the keys. she seemed
to watch the play of light on the en-
craving in the ring, rather than the
notes before her.
