Show 108 MADELYN CANNON STEWART SILVER At their respective homes they were met by frivolity, laugh ter, and teasing. They opened their gifts, read the many telegrams, ate a chicken dinner, packed their bags, and because of the lateness, spent their wedding night in Ogden's Hotel Bigelow (later Ben Lomond and now Radisson Suite Hotel), Ogden's finest." The next morning after breakfast in the Coffee Shop, they went to Harold's Hudson and found it marked up and the tires without air. Harold repaired the car, picked up Madelyn'S coat and fur, went home to review their gifts and fin ished packing.
