The gifts to the brides were both numerous and costly, and both couples received the heartiest congratulations of all present.
“We’ve got to do likewise pretty soon, Belle,” whispered Phil to the girl from Montana, and at this she blushed and smiled. It was not long after that when this couple was also married, a host of their friends, including Dave and Roger and their wives, being present.
Dave and Jessie had already decided on where they were going to live. Mr. Porter had purchased for them a beautiful house and grounds not far from the Wadsworth mansion, and here they set up housekeeping and were very happy.
Laura and Roger went to the old Morr homestead to live, the senator and his wife at that time spending practically all their time in Washington.
Phil and Belle went to reside in Philadelphia, where the young shipping master had most of his interests.
For Dave and Jessie and all their friends the future looked very rosy; and here we will leave them and say good-bye.
