An officer whose wedding at Dover yesterday
afternoon was to have been a picturesque
military display received sudden
orders to rejoin his regiment at Colchester.
The ceremony therefore took place early in
the morning n staple form and the bridegroom
immediately left for his regiment.
Many of the invited guests could not be
present, and there were no crossed swords
for the bride and bridegroom to pass under,
as arranged, when they left the church.

Lord French spoke from the saddle.
"You are all regarded as a most valuable force," said
Lord French, who inspected the London Volunteers
in Hyde Park on Saturday.
Newspaper clipping at the bottom of the page:
THE IDEAL OF ENGLAND.
LIBERTY of the individual, yet conformity
of that liberty to the good of all, this has been
the ideal England always. It gives the
English their arrogance, but it gives them,
too, their stability; it gives them stubbornness,
but it gives them a splendid sense of
justice and moral right. He who carries
out the difficult role of loving his neighbour
as himself will doubtless love that neighbour
better for loving himself so well.--- LAURA
SPENCER, in The Girl's Own Paper and
Woman's Magazine.
Right page, handwritten:
A Soldier's Button.
She wears a Soldier's Button
Pinned somewhere near her heart,
And shows to all and Sundry
She owns a little part
Of a soldier Who's upsetting
The Kaiser's Apple-Cart.
--------
She wears a Soldier's button,
and feels she's bravely decked
A certain pride of bearing
It's easy to detect
She's got a man in Khaki
And she holds her head erect.
--------
She wears a soldier's button
There's virtue in the Whim
It keeps her strong + patient
Where days are dark + grim
She wears her soldier's button
And she fights --- along with him
