A PROMISE KEPT
Miss Alice Fazende was 25 when her fiance marched away to the Civil War. That was in 1861. "I'll never marry anyone else if you don't come back," she promised him. He never came back, and Miss Fazende kept her promise. Now celebrating her 100th birthday in her old-fashioned home at New Orleans, Miss Fazende raised her champagne glass to her lips and, to a gathering of her friends, gave the toast: "A bientot, mon bien aime!" (To our early meeting, my beloved.)
