When a Bride Is the Main Person in Her Circle
A humorous tale contrasts wedding report duties with the city editor’s picky standards. A new society editor returns from a wedding assignment only to be quizzed on every factual detail from gown to officiant, while the groom’s name appears in four forms and the bride remains the central focus. A separate anecdote finds a young rescuer offered either 100000 or a daughter’s hand, choosing love as the father jokes about a larger fortune yet to be earned.
