A
How to find happiness as
a mother-in-law
No reason to be sensitive about
being a mother-in-law. There are a
lot of happy ones these days.
Like the ones who start the bride
and groom out saving—with a gift
of U. S. Savings Bonds.
This provides them with the
wherewithal for those little emer-
gencies that always seem to crop
up with young couples. Or helps
them meet the down payment on
their first home. A gift of Bonds
will tell them you’re happy to help.
If it’s a bit late for a wedding
gift, Bonds make a good way to
celebrate grandmotherhood, too.
Bonds will grow right along with
the new baby. And he’ll get back
$4 for every $3 you invest if the
Bonds are held to maturity.
Millions of Americans help them-
selves—and others—with U.S. Sav-
ings Bonds. And every dollar they
invest helps their country spread
the freedom word a little farther.
Any way you look at it, U. S. Sav-
ings Bonds make a dandy nest egg.
And a very happy mother-in-law.
The Rev. Gordon Reif offi-
ciated at the double ring cere-
mony at the First Presbyterian
Church of Fairbury. Mrs. E. F.
Dickey was organist.
The bride wore a street-
length sheath dress of alice
blue linen with a dress length
coat of blue organza. It fea-
tured a portrait collar. Match-
ing blue organza roses adorned
the neckline. A matching pill
box hat, short white gloves and
blue accessories completed her
wedding outfit. A crescent ar-
rangement of white roses and
stephanotis formed her bouquet.
Attending her sister as maid
of honor was Miss Phoebe
Beach James, who was attired
in a rose silk shantung sheath
dress with' a short pink organ-
za jacket. She wore a match-
ing pill box hat and carried a
crescent bouquet of white roses
with a pink rose center.
Virgil Munz of Fairbury was /
best man. Ushers were C. L.
McDaniels of Bloomington and
P. C. James of Marinette, Wis-
consin. James is the bride’s
brother.
Following the wedding rites,
