She attended the Juneau High School, and for the past several months has been an employee ab the Capitol Theatre. Mr. Whitely was graduated from the Garfield High School in Se- attle, and is at present employed at the Gastineau Grocery. Both Miss Perry and Mr. Whitely are wellknown in Juneau, and plan to make their home here, following the wedding, which is tentatively set for next June. by the sculptor Richmond Barthe, who fashioned her just as you see her in the street, basket on head and arm, calling her wares to market-men and loi- terers, hear this the bree:r: Sometimes you through cry of a “Mah mule is white, mah face is black, sells mah coal sack.” This is the coal peddler, ambling through the streets beside a pa- tient mule, carrying gunnysacks of coal.
