McNULTY-BRUNSON
A wedding of great interes' to all of
the campus was solemnized last Sat
urday evening in the University chap
el by the Rev. Leslie Edwards, when
Miss Mary McNulty, beautiful co-ed,
became the cook of Mr. William Brun
son, sometimes of this University but
more often and more famously known
as the assistant proprietor of Martin's
Bide-a-Wee Inn on the Swansea
road. The chapel was beautiful4y lec
orated for the occasion with sprays of
cabbage and corn-flowers, and fairly
festooned with halitosis. Long before
the appointed hour the groom was
full and so was the chapel, being 'pack
ed to overflowing with Kappa Sigmas,
Beta Zetas, and the local police force.
The wedding was one of quaint sim
plicity throughout, due to the fact that
most of the wedding party had passed
out at a cocktail party given by Miss
Thelma Lockman at the Y. M. C. A.
First came dainty little Miss Dody
McDow, the charming flower girl, pre
senting a truly enchanting spectacle in
her little pink cheesecloth as she stag
gered down the aisle singing "Just
Be-'ore the Battle, Mother," and scat
tering cactus leaves from a half-gal
lon fruit jar.
The bride entered on the arm of
Mr. John Wells, who was to have
given her away, but decided at the
last minute to keep quiet. She looked
pale but determined, and carried a
bouquet composed of two lengths of
lead pipe, a rolling pin, and a pair of
skates. As she advanced resolutely
down the aisle, the organ burst into
the touching strains of "He used to be
,Big Bad Bill, but he's Sweet William
now," and simultaneously the groom
appeared at the side door, carried by
the two night watchmen. Mr. Wil
liam Cook, the eminent jockey, who
was to have been the best man, was
called away at the last moment to ride
in a dark horse contest sponsored by
the Masonic hostesses, so his place
was ably filled by Dean Frierson.
The ceremony was short but im
pressive. Mr. Brunson led with his
jaw and Miss McNulty countered with
a snappy right. While the groom was
being revived, Rev. Edwards read
selections from the beautiful Marquis
of Queensbury service, forbidding
honeymooners from using the rabbit
punch or hitting below the belt in the
clinches.
After the ceremony, a silver offering
was taken up to provide bail for Dean
Frierson, who had become uproarious
1Y drunk and insisted on singing "Res
cue the Perishing" as the wedding
party left the chapel.
The beautiful ronmance of this nap
py pair reads like a fairy tale. It was I
one of those rare cases of love at first
sight ; Mr. Brunson met his bride at a
Grill club dance and fell for her com
pletely. Mrs. Brunson said after the
ceremony "He is my hero, my Prince
Charming. He was shy and different
when we met at the dlance, but I
could tell by the convulsive working of
his throat that he was in the grasp of
some overpowvering emotion. He first
attractedl me with his clever inter
pretation of a mule with the blind
staggers dloinig the Charleston ;then
he quite captured my heart with his,
vreat imperso3nation of a crocodile in
the throes of nausea. When I finally
saw him carried out by his admiring
comrades, I knew lie would he mine."
The groomi refused to make any state
mients.
After a honeymoon trip to Keeley's,
his popular couple will be at home to
thieir many' friends ini the Garnet anmd
Ilack room.

KIRVIN-ELLIOTT
One of the outstanding society
events of the season was the wedding
Wednesday night of Miss Kirven and
Mr. William Elliott.
The ceremony was solemnized in the
Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul,
the ceremony being performed by
Father Max Rubenstein, ably assisted
by the right Reverend Donald Russell
At eight-fifteen the ushers Tinsley,
Student Wilcox, Frank Clark and
Charlie Purifoy entered and the church
%as "was well lit." Before the cere
inony Mr. Raymond Hildebrand sang
in h1is usual sweet and charming
style, a fitting melody, "Tonight you
belong to me" immediately followed
by "I don't care what you used to be',
it's whate you are tonight."
The church began to fill and with
slow and neasured beat, gradually the
strains of the wedding march, "There'll
be a hot time in the old town tonight,'
floated over the gathered assembly.
The march was ably played at the
church wheeze 'o' phone by Miss
Nellie Frierson, the charming daughter
of the town constable.
The maid of honor, Miss Jules
Seideman, classmate and life-long
friend of the bride, entered, wearing
a simple but pleasing one piece bath
ing suit carrying a corset of Jimpson
weed and poison Ivy. She was im
mediately followed by the bridesmaids,
Miss Alice Robinson with Mr. Crip
Boyd, who was painfully sober, Miss
Urquhart and the honorable Eddie
Pritchard.
The blushing bride who was never
more graceful in her life, entered
drooping on the arm of her guardian.
"Shippem" Moore alias "Bugs." The
ial train vas c.irrd by the -ti)d
"Dutch" Wagener and petite "Billie"

the ring, but the crowd was worried
lest the little fellow shou!d lose it.
The bride was met at the altar b'
her guardian who gladly gave her
away.
Mr. and Mrs. Elliott are both popu

The law school and the academic

kinds of happiness, they'll surely need
it.
