Miss Mayo Lamb, with rare pres ence of mind, groped her way through the smoke and heat down the stairs and carried her little niece to a place of safety then returned to show the way to the others who were still above the stairs. The fire was within the wall about the stairway burning at a furious rate. The pealing of tbe fire bell aoon brought scores of volunteer firemen who worked like trained men. Their efforts were aided by several small chemical engines, and after a long time the fire was fully subdued.

Peele and her friends were seated on the right, and the friends of the groom on the left. Promptly at thirty minutes past seven o'clock the bridal party be gan to form.
