Katharine ia most attractive girl
and n most devoted friend. re-
~cmbcr the time Katharine Hancock
and Jas Smith were mnrried as they
we're on days notice during The
worI. she did such lovely thing.
There was luncheon at the Leae

and grounds and gathered all they
could carry. lien In motors to
old st. David's Church at Devon
with their spoils. and when the little
bride entered the church that late aft

There won't he occasion, so far as
ne can say, for such demonstru.

Hancock Smith. so there was no 70.
mantle reason for doing this. II was
Just because she's peach of g:ri.
and wanted her friend TO have a
beautiful floral picture 10 remember
for that sweet little sad wedding.
Fortunately. Jas Smith came homo
! safe from the war, and he and his wife
! live OUT at Stcnton avenue and Mer-
maid lane in Chestnut Hi. So
there's nothing sad for them now.
