Atbert has eleped. “He sloped Friday night last with Miss Mildred Helen Berger of Milwaukee, Wis, who has been visiting her aunt, Mrs. E. J. Wagner of No. «8 West Forty-ninth street. Not a word has been heard from elther of the young Glopers. Efforts to locate them have ‘been unayalling, to Papa Combs Is just ‘waiting, waiting. Afvert has been attending a prepara- tery schoo! at Fairfield, Conn. Miss Berger is about two years older than Avert. They have been infatuated for about two months. The Combs family knows nothing of Miss Berger. All they know is that Albert was infatu- ated with a girl by that name. ‘The Combs family received a hint of what was coming last month when Al- bert’ broke the news to his father that he was engaged and wanted to getsmar- ried. When Papa Combs recovered sufficiently to speak he ordered his son and heir to go back to school and forget @bout such things as “puppy love” and the like. Instead of receiving funds from his father with which to wed Al- bert got $1.00 and atrict orders to go back to school and behave himeeif. YOUNGSTERS COULD NOT BEAR THE SEPARATION. Albert and Mildred wrote letters by the ream. Their loving hearts coukt mot bear the separation. Fairfield, Conn., and New. York seemed as far apart an the poles. They determined te thwart Albert's stern parent and ae Albert has been returning from echool to the home of-his parents every Fri- @ay night for the week end.

There was some difficulty in obtain- ing a license. Although Albert is but @eventeen he is tall for his age and finally he won the legal consent for the marriage. They visited the home of Rev. Robert C. Hull, a Baptist clergy- man, and persuaded him to make their . loving hearts one. Wiltlam P. Williams the chauffeur ef an automobile that Albert had hired, acted as best man. Miss Atailie L. Rowe, City Clerk Rowe's daughter, ected as bridesmaid. GIRL'S AUNT WAS AWAY WHEN THEY €LOPED. Mre. Wagner, aunt of Mildred, said to-day that she was out of the city on Friday and did not learn of her niece's @isappearance until the next day. She waid she had met young Combs on a few occassions, WNelther she nor the Combs family know how Albert and Mildred first became acquainted. ‘Mre, Wagner has sent word to Mil- Gred'a mother in Millwaukee, and ie anxiously awaiting news from her niece. Papa Combs cannot appreciate the romance in the situation. It is all _ grim reality to him, and at the office in Broad atreet it is,predicted that Albert MMe dn for an old-fashioned spanking when be looms up on the horizon. Albert is not known to have much waeney, unless he has been saving up his allowances for some time.
