The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1926-11-01

silent reading Of the column and a
half devoted to the story. "Just
listen. Faith--the nerve Of em: Just
after midnight this morning, Mrs.
Seymour Albright, nee Miss Alice
Cluny, daughter Of Mr.. Ralph Cluny,
made a personal call At the editorial
offices of the Star and demanded
that the CIuny.Lane engagement be
KILLED.
\" Since she would not give her rea-
sons. q reporter was sent to interview
Mr.. Cluny for the second time, and
again secured confirmation Of the en-
gagement, with the additional infor-
nation that the wedding would take
place on Thanksgiving Day. Al.
though reused from sleep at that late
hour, Mr.. Cluny graciously answered
questions of the reporter, and COM;
mented voluntarily:
November twenty-fifth will be
the happiest day Of my life. Miss
Lane. while extremely young, has
the charm and dignity Of q much old
er woman. coupled with rare beau
tv.'" Cherry laughed gleefully, and
looked up at Faith with bright, un-
troubled eyes. Cant you just hear
him say it-'Has the-ah--charm
and-ah-dienity Of much-ah-
older woman Boy Howdy!" Still
laughing, she bent her head to read
on, absorbedly.
:Wcll, can YOU feature this!" She
struck at the page with small
clcnched fist. ~Just listen, Faith, the
mean old thing!-'When little Miss
Cherry Lane, not quite nineteen, be-
comes the bride Of Mr.. Cluny, whose
age IL 68. she will also become the
stepmother Of Mrs. Seymour ALI
bright and Me- Alexander /, Cluny..
noted corporations 81 lawyer, and the
stcp-grandmothe<gef Mr.. Ralph ClHny
|, assistant district attorney, of Miss
Eileen Cluny, daughter 81 Mr.. Alex
ander Ciuny, q sophomore at Bryn
Mawr and the same age as the fu-
turc Mrs Ralph Cluny.
She will also be the aunt by mar
riaRe Of Mr., Robert Carr Hathaway,
prominent young architect, rumors
Of whose engagement to the beauti-
full and petite Miss Cherry Lane are
set Mt rest by tOday's announcement"
"Oh! OH" She flung the paper
across the table. "The mean, insin-
uating, backbiting old things!"
There's lot more you didn't
read" Long Lane told her cheer
fully, reaching for the platter of eggs
and sausages. there's a column on
page three, telling all about old Mon
key Gland-where nc went to school,
who his daddy and his granddaddy
was, and the swell political Jobs he's
lrcld, and some Of the big murderers
and grafters he's defended"
"Shut up, Junior" Faith said
quietly. She had made no comment
at all as Cherry read the newspaper
story. but her face was pale and
stern. Call Dad and Mother to
breakfast, and see il joys up yet"
When he had left the room noisily,
Cherry uncovered her eyes and look
ed appcalingly ut Faith. ''He be-
lieved in me. Faith. He's rather a
nice old duck. isn't he? He stuck up
for me when his tattling old daughter
sailed into him. ! guess I'm in for
big fight with. the relatives now
old money-grabbers! Well, I'm going
to show them thing or two!" Her
small face was set pugnacio usly, but
when she had retrieved the paper,
smile OF pure pleasure dawned on it
slowly. "l'm awfully glad they used
the picture Of me with q rose. II
really shows up awfully we'll, doesn't
it, honey like movie stars photo"
