home of John arid Mrs. Johnston was the
scene ,of a very pretty 'wedding on Wed-

daughter, Bessie may, was united in mar-
rittg to David Allen Knight of town.
Rev. F. W. We'stwood performed the
ceremony. Bride was gowned in a pretty
dress of white crepe de chene and georg-
ette crepe trimmed with pearl beads, and
wore the conventional veil and orange
blossoms, carrying a sheaf 0f white car-
nations and fern. After the ceremony the
party partook of a dainty lunch and the
happy couple left on the East bound train
mid showers of re and confetti, for a
short honeymoon.' The bride's travelling
suit was•of nigger brown veloura with a
lovely beaded georgette blouse, Her hat
was of brown georgette and velvet with
gold stitching. A brawn marabou com-
pleted her outfit. The‘young couple will
reside in Cypress witeEe the groom will
take'charge of the' Imperial Luraber Yard.
The couple were the recipients 'of many
beautiful and useful gifts showing the high
esteem in which they'are held. The gift
of the bride's mother was a beautiful

teSque cal•lerse•the two Nelson sisters
were saying • their payers. To be tte-
curate; 'it was Sarah who Was doing
the actual petitioning, but her word
found aneardent echo in Fanny's heart
"Dear rLord, send uo•a ,sign. Wer

we'll know that it was best for us to
sell. Amen,"
Solemnly, nrising, they climbed into
their high four-poster, and without a
word, folded their withered hands be
Death the patchwork comfortable and
sought. refuge from their worries in
fitful slumber.
The last of their line, ee.seept for nn
errant, harum-scaruin nephew "out
West in Miens," the Nelson sisters
had been .facIng for Some years a

old homestead by closing up the main
partite), of the house told living in an
ell, one room of which they hod turned
Into a tiny shop, the,proceede of which
seldom averaged four. dollars a day,
but served to pay their taxes and very
Semi -occasional repairs.
Not many people nowtvlays in Farm-
ingdale remembered when the "Nelson
girls" were young. To the newer gen.
eratIon they were just two old maids,
who kept a little store "where pm van

little eakes and souvenir •spottne to
Chinese lily bulhs that grbw in stones
set in water." . •
School ehildren stopped in on their
way to school to buy a pe»ny's worth
of candy, out-of-town visitors drifted In
and poked around, atid--there was enr-

To Caroline, and indeed to everyorie,
the two women often declared it wns a.
great trial to them to keep the etop.
It was not right that wornen. particu-
larly of their bringing up, should have
to "work."
As a matter of fact, interest in their
little store was the one thing life beta
to color their gray days. Without it,
they could have done nothing but sit
In the windows of the big house and
watch life go by—go by without ever
turning to wave a hand at them. No
—there was one other thing they could
do besides that, and it seemed more
than likely that that was Suet what
tbey would have to do. They could
sell the old house, and with the pro-
leeeds take trut a lease until death of
a brightly furnished, utterly unindivid-
nal room in the Home for Aged Wom-
en.'
For several years, Charlie Wallace,
Farmingdaie's very up-and-coming teal
estate agent, had pestered the life out
of them with offers for the house—not
very large offers. As long as the
meager earnings of the little shop had
beeu just sufficient to carry them by,
they had refused. But recently, since
thrift campaigns had swept the coun-
try, people hadn't been so desirous ot
buying their wares—not even the Chi-
nese lily bulbs guaranteed to bloom by
Baster.
rs to Billy, whom they had
brought up as their own son until he
had grown old enough to seize a wild
opportunity to go West and make a
"pile," had not been answered. Earn-
estly and often, the aunts assured
each other that the letters had never
reached hire. !et deep in their Old
hearts, each felt that the only man In
the family to whotn they could go, even
• for Advice, had failed them. '
And now the day of decision was at
and. Charlie .Wallace was coining
round at eight o'cloek thnt morning
o get their final word as to whether
hey would sell. And true to their
OW England tradition, they had laid

with the mate to Carollue's apple pie,
he .said quite easually.; .,ra buy the

Sarah and Faeny each gave a iittie

sigh of relief.

cussing the matter with Billy, said:
