4 Ri ) ay WITH ELOPERS, Mrs. De Witt Tewks- bury Tells How She Outwitted Father's Court Injunction. '*AWFULLY ROMANTIC.” Bride’s Story of the Turning Down of a College Chap for Love of a Handsome Young Clerk. “Our marriage was awfully romantic, wasn't it, De Witt?" sald Mrs. Tewks- bury with a ravishing giance at her hs bana. Mrs. Tewksbury wan Miss Helen Anita De Long, of Scranton, Pa., who, thwart- ing an injunction taken out by her father, a wealthy lawyer of that town, to prevent her marriage to De Witt Tewksbury, a salesman of Wilkesbarre, eloped with him to Brooklyn and there became his wife shortly after midnight on Tuesday last. In her charmingly cdnfidential manner, interrupted by occasional Promptings from the good-looking hero of the tale, the young bride gave the details of her very unusual romance. “T suppose,” she said, “that most girls look forward to a big wedding. I had intended to be married at home, with an elaborate wedding dress and lots of friends and ali that. But when my father got out the injunction preventing it why we had to come to New York, where the laws are not so strict as In Penn- syivania. There Was Another Man. "I'll tell you I think the real reason that my father objected to my getting married was not that I am too young. For I was twenty on the 234 of August, and surely a girl knows her own mind at that age. And !t waen't as he has said that De Witt was divorced and ts twice my age. for he is really just thirty-four, It was because he wanted me to marry another man with wealthy parents. “It was this way. I w engaged to the other man when I met De Witt. That one was just a year older than I, and we had gone to parties and theatres in Scranton till every one in town ex- pected us to be married. Then the other fellow went away lo Lafayette College with the idea, 1 suppose, that I was to walt for him. A month after he left town I met Mr. Tewksbury. Some peo- ple belleve that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but with me {t grew fonder of another. The other was Mr, Tewksbury, of course. I had not known him a month when I realized that I had never loved the other man at all, The Fascinating Age. “Do you know declared the young ten older than his wife, especially if she 1s Inclined to be rattle-brained like me. ‘Men of thirty-five are always the most fascinating, Why, the fellows of your own age are regular kids. They think they are doing a girl a favor if they look at her, “After I had known Mr. Tewksbury two monthe we became engaged, and I named the first day of October for the wedding. Now, father had always favored the younger man. And lots of people in Scranton turned against me and sald that I had treated him very badly in throwing him over, and added all sorts of ridiculous things about the way the young man felt. “My father never told me directly that he disapproved of my marriage. His getting out the injunction to pre- vent it was a surprise, “You know ho went over to the Court and sald he wantid to stop my mar- rlage. The clerk told him that the only thing he could do was to file a formal Protest against {t, De Witt soon after asked for the license. It was given him and when father returned with the pro- test he was too late. All there was left for him to do was to get out an injunc-’ tion preventing us from using that license. “Of course, you understand," inter- rupted Mr. Tewksbury, “that if we had found a minister willing to perform the ceremony we could have been legally married in Pennsylvania. The injunc- tion was only against the use of that Particular license.” How Love Found a Way. “The elopement was my idea.” intor- Bored the bride. “You know Tuesday morning we all had to appear in court. Papa's lawyers were there and my lawyers, too. And the injunetion was continued until Thursday, My lawyers were In the secret of what we intended to do and they smiled when I sald to them as we left court: ‘Well, I suppose Tl have to wait till 1 am twenty-one. A year Is not such a long timo. “From the court room mamma, De Witt and J took the trolley from Scranton to Green Ridge. There we got ‘a varriage and drove ten miles to Pittston, where we boarded the train to New York. “Mamma sat in one part of the car and De Witt and I in another. 1 had writ- ten to my aunt, Mra, McDonough. of No, 288 Bridge street, Brooklyn, to meet Us at the station and to have a clergy- man ready at her house.

YOUNG HUSBAND A BASHFUL BOY. News of Mackey's Clan- destine Marriage to Minister’s Daughter a Surprise. BLUSHED AT THE GIRLS. Every boy and girl in the neighbor- hood would tell you {f you asked them, Arthur Mackey, the seventeen- year-old son of Charles Mackey, who lives just back of the old Poe cottage in Fordham was perhnps the most bashful boy in the neighborhood. They would add that he never took part In the lght sports of the young; people in the neighborhood, and that if a girl happened to speak to him he would drop his eyes and blush But they would tell you now, since the news of his marriage to the pretty daughter bf a Methodist clergyman, the ry M-Elroy, has leaked out, that they were mistaken about Arthur's bashfulne: Married on June 20. Arthur's marriage took place on June 2. before the Rev. John W. Campbell, and if it had not been for an accident, the news would still have been the secret of the young couple. Arthur has always been the pet of his family, and because of his youth and L barhfulness, no one In the family even! § suspected that he would be the hero of @ runaway match, and espectally that he would have the temerity to propose to a girl like Mary McElroy, who js five years his senior, ‘They were so different in thelr habits that the wonder of it Is that they were ever in each other's society long enough to arrange a marriage, for as much as Arthur was shy and retiring, Mary was! } ¢qually merry and fond of soctety, and no social affair in the nelghborhood was considered successful unless she was there, Among Mary's chums was Ella Mackey, Arthur's elder sister, and it was Uarough her that Arthur and Mary were dnroduced. His sister attached no significance to |: the introduction, and she thinks now that Arthur must have arranged noc- turnal meetings in order to have gotten So, well acquainted with her chum, Shortly after the clandestine marriage, the two girls met one day, when Mary said suddenly to her chum’ Ella: “How would you like me for a sister?” Ella promptly replied that as a chum was all right, but as a slster-in- ‘Nothing doing. Remark Aroused Suspicion, ‘The remark aroused suspicion, and inquiries were at once set in motion with the result that Mary made a con- fession to her father, and told him that her young husband had decided to keep the affair secret until Arthur had earned enough money to go to housekeeping. That information when it was brought to the Macakay family caused an uproar that threatens to wind up In a sult for the annulment of the marriage.
