going quite fast that Mr.. George
Brown has definitely decided to
take to him a wife in the very
near future, having completed
arrangements for his matri-

next one or two months unless
some unforeseen conditions to
the contrary should interfere.
He is noncommittal with even
closest friends as to who the fair
dame is and to be and in certain
circles or sections there are many
speculations. The fact that Mr..

ground for belief that there
