Our best wishes for a long and prosperous life in wedded happiness go to the dashing groom, Stephen A. Toth, and his beautiful bride,' the former Miss Helen Lukacs. May the good Lord endow them, and their loving parents, with his richest blessings! lisher, Mr. Bela Kolos, editor of the Detroit Hungarian News, and his wife. Excellent music by a fine orchestra? of outstanding musicians contributed to the happy mood of the assembled guests who were royally treated and entertained by the parents of the charming couple until the morning hours. After' a wedding trip to Miami, Florida, the young couple returned to Detroit where they made their home with the bride’s young widowed sister, whose late husband, a former member of the Detroit police force, lost his life in the line of duty a year ago. The bride, a trusted employee of a large lumber company, returned to her desk, while the groom continues helping his father run the J; and M. War Surplus Store on Fort Road in Wyandotte. Our most sincere and best wishes go to Bob and Mary Macker for no end of happiness, love and mutual understanding. May their life together be ^richly blessed in ail that makes for lasting happiness! SMILES AWKWARD MOMENTS Here’s the story as a London paper tells it: “Hosk'ns, the cook, advises me that you were badly intoxicated last night and that you were trying to roll a barrel out of the basement. <• Can this be true?” “Yes, my lord.” “And where was I during this time ?” “In the barrel, my lord.” Dora, looking at list of prize winners: “Hm, I don’t see my name.” Flora: “Well, you didn’t’ take a chance, did you?” Dora: “No, and a mighty good thing I didn’t, evidently.” The guests at a party were playing a game to see who could make the worst grimace. The prize was awarded to a man seated somewhat apart from the others. “I’m sorry,” he apologized, when the presentation was made, “but I wasn’t playing.” Middle age is that period of life when you are old enough to know better but young enough to want to keep on doing it. A GREATER DIFFICULTY No matter how great the difficulty of paying the premium may seem to be, it is never as great as the difficulty which may fall upon the family if th^ family must do without the insurance. Usually the difficulty of paying the premium becomes a very minor one compared with the difficulty which may develop in case the insurance is dropped. IT’S EASY TO ACQUIRE The reason people pass one door To patronize another store, Is not because the busier place Has better silks, or gloves or lace, Or cheaper prices; but it lies In pleasing words and smiling eyes. The only difference, I believe, Is in the treatment folks receive.
