candles, more flowers, soft music. In

the steps and along a ribbon-marked
aisle. 1t couldn't be true; but it was.

"There's the music, here we 60"
Some one opened the door. The
throbbing promises of Faithful and

The procession slowly left the room.

to her as he felt her tremble. She

Ann sensed the people, the music, the
heavy smell of the flowers. She heard
the sonorous tones Of mans voice,
but the words were lost. Did she re-
Spond, or was that voice another's?
The music swelled, deafening her.
People, crowds of people, rushed to
her, held her hand, exclaimed over
her beauty. They might spoil the
creamy satin with their reaching
hands, tear the precious veil. She
wanted to get away. Wanted to be
back in that other room with all
this beauty She must take of this
lovely, lovely wedding dress, change
into a suit She didn't want to do
that. But she must.
She was walking back now, the
way she had come. The hum of
voices, the cadences of the music
grew fainter. A door shut. 1t was
all over.
"Ah, my little Ann! You we're so
beautiful! Such a far-aWay look
on your face, as though you
dreamed"
A fat little man planted a wet
kiss on AIMS burning check, smoth-
cred her moment in his arms.

Anastasia Kelly, who had worn a
creamy satin wedding gown as though

go into the room beyond from whence
came the buzz of excited conversation.
With her hand on the door knob
Anastasia stopped. When she en-
tered that room the old Ann would
remain here. The Ann, who for two
long years had modelel sports suits,
tailored dresses, afternoon frocks. The
Ann who had been a frightful little
package girl"
The Ann who later became grace
full, competent model. There was
neatness about her, finished look,
that added much to the attractiveness
of the gowns she wore. She had
walked miles before the critical eyes
of potential buyers. She had stood
quietly or turned and turned before
them. And always she had dreamed.
In the other room her most cher
ished dream would be reality. The
thought left her breathless. Quickly
she stepped through the door and
was engulfed by the waves of noise.
Too many people. Too much confu-
sion. It made her head ache.
A woman in a frock came toward
her. She was followed by maid,
arms full of shimmering, creamy satin.

LONDON, Jan. 1 G.N.S)-
Tongues wagged in Britain today
over King Georges New Year
honor list, the most surprising in
years, both for what it contained
and for what it failed to contain.
Many rumors centered about the
Prince of Wales, who many be-
lieved was showered with titles by
a father happy over promise that
he would settle down and marry
within the coming year.
The heir to the throne was made
an admiral of the fleet, a general
of the army, and chief marshal of
the air force.
The list also provided topics
for many a conversation over its
failure to bestow a title upon
the Aga Chan, popular and
wealthy Indian potentate, who
was expected to be made a peer,
or upon George Arliss, famed
British actor of Hollywood, who
was widely predicted as being in
line for knighthood.
The list otherwise was dull,
naming three new peers, five
baronets, and 56 knights bach
elor. The peers are Sir Henry
Jefferson, former Minister of La
Dor and now chairman Of the
unemployment assistance board;
Sir Thomas Fermor-Hesketh, Lam
cashire political leader, and
Lieut.. Col. Sir Wyndham Portal.

Fof a number of years Mr..

o'clock in the morning and had
been the first in line to shake
hands with the President on this
OCCASION for a number of years.
He made his appearance at

give it up. He claimed the title
by virtue of his certification by
the State board of convassers.
The board had declared him win

Wilson, confined to his bed by
illness, was sworn into office in
his home in Flint shortly before

G.N.S.). - Stanford's Laughing
Boys usually play for fun
became serious today as they
prepared to attempt to stem the
flow of Alabama's Crimson Tide
in the annual EastWest classic
in the Rose Bowl.
This contest was to bring to-
gether two of the greatest teams
in the country and, in anticipa-
ton of a furious battle, a ca
pacity crowd of 84,474 spectators
was attracted to the famous
bowl. Every seat to the contest
was sold more than a week ago.
While 'Bama once ruled a big
favorite, the rival teams were
expected to take the field at
even money. The recovery of
Stanford's "cripples," Bobby
Grayson, Monk" Moscrip and
Keith Topping, was largely re-
sponsible for the reduction of
odds.
Alabama was expected to play
a wide-open game, featuring
passing and kicking, as the visit

to puncture Stanford's stalwart

BY FRANKLIN G. SARTWELL
Flush from hectic year that
saw it grow and develop, Wash
ington today moved into new
calendar period confident of the
future.
The renewed concentration OF
national Governmental affairs in
the Capital during the last year
brought a strengthened position
as a city and brought to many OF
its residents a more prosperous
condition than they had known
in recent years.
With indications that the Gov
ernment's activity will continue
another year at high speed the
city has reason to believe that
1885 will be even a better year
than the last.
Pay Restoration
The city made much substan-
tial progress last year. Its popu-
lation increased considerably be-
cause of the newly created Gov
eminent agencies. Much of the
increase was in the higher salary
brackets.
Probably the outstanding de-
velopment was the restoration of
10 per cent of the Government
salaries. 1t signalized the turn
ing of the tide from restriction
to expansion.

every expectation that legislation
