trees on the campus of 'the United

o'clock this afternoon when the couple
are married in the Catholic cathedral

"Of course it was all very sudden,

A voluminous correspondence between

. When Lieut Roland Lewis Gaugler,
U.1 S, A., was sent to Honolulu, jdst
after he and Miss Fay Milburn had
become engaged, he was crestfallen.
That was some months ago. Miss
Milburn was rather downcast, too, but
she remained in the capital and hoied
against hope that the- war department
would find some post nearer, home for
her fianee. But, apparently, there' was
r.o change in sight, so she obeyed the
impulse prompted by Cupid, and start
ed on a 346."-miIe journey, to Honolulu.
