They were all so smiling that they could hardly have been
recognized as the forlorn creatures who had come to Rosemont early in

characteristic work of her country.

to face with the bride.
"We love you," she said simply, making a sweeping gesture that included
the bridegroom and all the U. S. C. members who were standing about.
"We give you these embroideries of our lands. We love all of you."
And all the women and children cried in chorus, "We love all of you."
