Following the presentation lunch was served. The address read. is as follows: "Dear Eleanor: Weddings and rum- ors of weddings seem to be the or- der of the day and the rumors of late that you had consented to tread the path of matrimony as the better half of some lucky man, have proven to be well founded. The only part of the forthcoming event that we do not like is that it is taking you away from our'im- mediate neighborhood, which has been home to you and where you have been a good friend and neigh- bor to us. We know our loss will be Kippen's gain. Before you leave us we are here to offer our heart- iest good wishes for a long and happy married life, and to ask you to accept these gifts as tangible evidence of our esteem for you. We know that you are going to estab, lish another of the greatest insti- tutions for good that this world knows—a good home. A modern writer has expressed this senti- ment in the following lines: Oh, London is a man's town, there's power in the air, and Paris is• a woman's town, where flowers bloom so fair; and its sweet to dream of Venice, and its great to study Rome, but when it comes to living, there's no place just like home. "We hope these gifts will be use- ful and hefp to brighten your new home and serve as reminders of the many friends and neighbors around your old home. — Your Friends and Neighbors."
