So quiet was the ceremony uniting the Standard Oil millionaire and the erstwhile society modiste that it verged upon secrecy. When their engagement was announced two weeks ago at a bon voyage party for Milicent Salm Ramos, the Colonel's daughter, they set their marriage for October. Date Changed October it remained, even after a folded and crumpled marriage license appeared mysteriously early yesterday at the license bureau. City Clerk Michael J. Cruise insisted that the gray haired financier and his bride to be had been the first to apply at the bureau in the.

morning, Municipal Building reporters, who keep a weather eye open for such distinguished guests, were very dubious. They inclined to tne opinion that an obliging clerk had given the couple the license to sign over the week end and had collected it bright and early yesterday. Despite his familiarity with marriage licenses, the gallant Colonel was nervous enough to forget his age. He put it down at vi, although "Who's Who" insists he'll be 54 next December. The bride, who has: sons aged 23 and 17, said she was 40.

Plpaspfl With ResDonse stnf that "we have heard of instances throughout the State and in our district where tne oanKs nave been openly hostile to us," the district manager declared that "on the whole we are very well pleased with the response. "I confidently believe that in a very short time, or after they have had the time and opportunity to study the probable value of these bonds as an ne aaaea "all banks and other mortgage holding companies will be glad to exchange their mortgages for the bonds, in cases where to do so would help the home owner by permitting him to refinance nis nome over a loneer neriod of time." T. Z. Minehart, of Chambersourg, district counsel for the corporation, declared that he can see no rea son why a bank, trust company, or a building and loan association that is permitted to make the exchange, should not be willing to do so, rather than to issue executions and take over a lot of real estate."
