The telephone was invoked and a long distance call sent to have the garments picked up and brought in to Lincoln.

After much scurrying around, keys were secured from a hardware store, the house opened and the missing garments secured. Then came a fast automobile dash to the capital city to deliver the dress, with arrival there just in the niche of time, as the hour for the ceremony was rapidly drawing near.
