QUIET WEDDING
Sit-I am bound to say I was disappointed by your editorial article of May 4 on the Monaco wedding, or father; upon ceftain cifcumstances attendant upon the occasion, for of the wedding: itself and the bridal couple there is virtually no mention. As an essay Satirising the frenzied nonsense that. passes for. "society": behaviour, and as a remitder of the real character of some of the personages so behaving, your article will have fret with a just approval. It is to be hoped then that readers will not have failed to see the beauty of the weddifig throtigh the fog which these wuncotith beifigs raised around it, to the profound embarrassment, we tay be sure, of the Prince atid his bride. The pfess generally seems to have missed an opportunity to highlight the heart of the affair, which, sufely, is the entirely good example, set in the most public way, by both the Prince’s and Miss Kelly’s Christian devotion, each of them proving that in neither the cifcle of high society nor that of the film world is it necessary to live a loose life. Neither has anything to forget (e.g., in the way of a divorce) in coming to a true marriage and both are devout adherents to the Church and Sacraments. I am sure that all true-mifided folk will rejoice in this state of affairs and regret that so little attention was paid to the essentials of the occasion.
