It was a fitting crown for the many
other brilliant affairs of the sumo nature

the flutter of excitement into which the

After thy ceremony w- completed, all

ablo euse nnd composiis( > , tho crowd re
entered their carriuges and were driven to
the handsome residence of the bride's
father. Here the guests thronged the
