MISSION FIELDS ROMANCE

WEDDING OF TWO WORKERS. A romance of the China mission fields lies behind the recent announcement of the marriage of Mr. Ivor C. Proctor-Beauchamp, son of Sir Montagu and Lady Proctor-Beauchamp, to Miss Caroline Muriel Densham, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Densham, of Stonygate, Leicester. In 1928 Miss Densham went as a nurse to the medical side of the China Inland Mission, and for five years she has worked in tho treaty port of Chefoo. A year later Mr. ProctorBeauchamp went out as a medical missionary to the same station and the two became colleagues. They were married on September 30 at Chefoo, by the British Chaplain. Mr. Proctor-Beauchamp’s father, Sir Montagu Proctor-Beauchamp, was one of the famous group of athlete-mission-aries known as the “Cambridge Seven,” whose numbers included an excaptain of the Cambridge cricket eleven, two Cambridge cricketers, and a Cambridge rowing Blue. Sir Mon tagu was also a university oar. Another of the “Seven’’ gave up a commission in tho Royal Artillery to join them. Sir Montagu worked in the mission fields for 40 years.
