ing the two years between their gradua-
tions, Mrs. Hartford would like to get

For the present, she says, they will
live apart. Their parents agree with
them in this. she says, to prevent in
reference with their studies. After
Hartford receives his degree, they will
make new plans.

Mrs. Hartford, still in her teens, is
the daughter of DR.. G. T. Epling,

dent Of her class last year and met
Hartford last Winter. They were mar
ried in the Spring. and. accompanied
by Hartford's mother, cruised to Hawaii
