Married in Haste, Jersey Couple
Skip to Orient and Mother Swoons:
"It's all over Ma!"Then the woman at
the other end of the wire screamed,
swooned,but finally came to.
It happened this way.
Elmer Sherman Millard and Miss
Marion Thurston Tibbits, of Palisade,
N.J., have been pining away for each i
other for a long time, but the girl's 1
mother wanted her daughter to go slow
which was of course, quite out of the
question.
The mother, telephone talk says,.
wanted a large and elaborate wedding.
The girl simply dreaded to think of such
a thing as all of her friends seeing her
joined in the holy bonds of wedlock,and
told her dear ma-ma so_
But it made no difference. Ma was
rich. So was Pa. Why not have a large
wedding?
Last Saturday the young couple hap-
pened to be guests of the Metcalf family
at their large country place in East
Mar—Jon. �-

—So early in the morning, long before
the usual breakfast time of fashionable
metropolitan folk, they drifted toward
Orient.
They asked the way to a minister's
and some good friend of Domine
Longsworth sent them his way.
He knew he had a good job--one that
would buy his wife a new silk dress,or
something like that,for the inclinations
of a minister's wife are no different from
those of any other man's wife -- they
want all the"extras_"
So the bride, who was fair of face,
sweet and slender,with apple blossom
cheeks,and with eyes that would make
the whole world obey her, stood blush-
ingly before the minister.
The young man looked at his bride
and said,"Will you be mine?"
"I will."she said.
So it was done.
The young man,by this time,had for-
gotten to think of the consequences --
of telling his mother-in-law,
But he must do it.
And distance lends much safety.
So the telephone was sought.
"Oh! Oh! Oh!," groaned the mother,
then silence reigned.
The bride was induced to come to the
phone,and after a severe scolding,was
given the parental blessing.
May they live happly ever after, is
the wish of the little village by the sea
who heard the church bell ring telling
of two happy hearts made one.
