PASTOR YET AWAITS
 HIS PRAYER BRIDE
Mrs. Mason Will Wed Him In A Few Days, Says the Rev. George
 H. Lawson

I Orange, N. J., Dec. 4.--The Rev George Hermann Lawson was left
 waiting at his own Peoples Evangeli- cal church yesterday afternoon by his
 prospective prayer bride," Mrs. May Mason of Orange, who remained in Atlantic City. It developed that the clergyman had misunderstood tele- phone conversation with the woman of his choice and that she had not in tended to be on hand for the cere- mony
 Instead, Mrs. Mason sent word by a mutual friend, MT. Lawson said, that while she had not broken the engage ment, publicity was distasteful to her and therefore she would not go through with the ceremony at pres- ent.
 Tn Christ's name we will stop the publicity" MT. Lawson commented, adding that while he personally was not opposed to it the wishes of Mrs. Mason, a gentlewoman, must be re- spected.
 After predicting that the wedding would take place quietly in a few days, MT. Lawson said that if Mrs. Mason did not marry him he. would not ask the Deity to intercede and send him another bride. In fact, he would marry Mrs. Mason or no one. After the wedding he hopes to come to New York and hold an evangelical meeting in Madison Square Garden.

TWILIGHT MUSICALE"
 IS ARTISTIC SUCCESS
Shuttle Meadow Club Members and Guests Hear George Morgan, Bari-
 tone and Gladys Barnett, Pianist.

The first of the Twilight Musi-
 cales" planned for members and guests of members of the Shuttle Meadow
 club furnished delightful musical afternoon to capacity audience yesterday. George Morgan, baritone,
 who was heard here last spring with the Hartford Symphony orcehstra,
 was as effective in the smaller audi torium as he has shown himself to be in large hall. Only occasionally did he display his full voice power, and in these moments the perfection of his training, his splendid tone placing and his fine execution were especially mo- ticeable. His interpretation of Ar thur G. Kimballs delicate ballad "Au- tumn," sincerely understanding, was by no means an anti-climax to his more ambitious selections such as the fine 70 God Have Mercy" of Men delssohn, with which he effectively began his portion of the program.
 Gladys Barnett delighted by her work at the piano. Perhaps youth" and it's vitality were the most prom inent characteristics of her splendid playing, sympathetic always with the classic solidity of Brahms, but truly delightful in her bits of Schubert.
 Those who attended the affair are indebted to the members of the club who have made these musical after moons possible, especially, in the in- stance of yesterday, to Norman P. Cooley.
