talking about now--only Nurse says
she can't see yet how they did happen
tu marry. just the same. they're so tee
totally different
But this Is the story
Father wen; TO Boston 10 attend a
big meeting Of astronomers from all
over the world. and they had banquets
and receptions wher. beautISll ladies
went in their pretty evening dresses,
and my mother was one of them. (Her
father was one OF the astronomers.
Nurse saidD The meetings lasted four
days. and Nurse said she guessed my
father saw lot Of my mother during
that time. Anyhow, he was invited to
their home, and he stayed another four
days after the meetings were over.
The next thing they knew here at the
house. Grandma Anderson had tele-
gram that he WAS going TO be married
Ju Miss NHdse Desmond. and would
they please send him some things he
wanted and he was going on a wed
ding "trip and would bring his bride
home in about a month.

he was hopeless old bachelor and
wouldn't ever marry. He was bound
up In his stars. even then, and was
already beginning To be famous, be-
cause Of a comet he'd discovered He

His father had just died few months
before. and Nurse said maybe that was
one reason why Father got caught In
the matrimonial net like that. tThose
are her words. not mine The idea
Of calling my mother n net But
nurse never did appreciate Mother).
But Father just worshiped his father.
and they were always together
Grandma being sick SO much
and so when he died my father
was nearly beside himself. and that's
one reason they were SO anxious he
should go to that meeting In Boston.
They thought II might take his mind
OF himself. Nurse said. But they
never thought OF its putting his mind
on a wife,
So far as his doing II right up quick
Ike that was concerned, Nurse said
that wasn't so surprising For all the
