functions become a secondary feature.

Crier remembers when you first be
oame Mrs. Nolan and you seemed glad
of it. When you began that trip to
Honolulu there was every appearance
of a joyful occasion. You were just
jolly full, and so was'Nolan, and you
made a pleasing spectacle with a foot
on the rail of the vessel. I recall your
just indignation when an officious offi

aown on tne deck and be a good girl.k
l he trammels of matrimony must
have been something terrible. Every-
body who saw how you suffered will
be glad that you are free to be light
and gay again. '
