further comment along that line. Since finishing his education he has
been actively engaged in his line of work away from home most of the
time and is rapidly making his mark in the world and his late step in
the matrimonial world is one that will mark an important event of his
life. The bride is not known here, but judging from the choice she
made in a life partner she will measure up to his high standard.
