Dan Cupid played to a doubleheader @ls morning and scored on his one Beat bet of the year—the inaugural of the bridal month. If it had been delib- @rately arranged the doors of the Marriage License Bureau in the quar- ters on the second floor of the Muni- cipal Bullding, to which it moved on Saturday, could not have been opened at @ more opportune time. The open- ing was made auspicious by the pres- ence of more than 150 couples who clamored for admiasion to the Bureau long before even the building was) thrown open for the day. It was the busiest morning in the history of the Bureau, according to City Clerk P. J. BeuDy. Ordinarily the Marriage License Bureau is opened for business at 10 o'clock, but when Chief Clerk Scully arrived and saw a line of happy couples stretched from the doors of the offices down the long corridor of the south wing of the building to the street he got on the job promptly and ordered the windows opened an hour ahead of time. The clerks who had worked all day Saturday and Sunday to get things to rights had been struggling with the mass of records, blanks and books brought over from the City Hall since 8 o'clock. In the excitement the ink wella bad beep overlooked. Eddie Hart, senior clerk, was the first to discover the oversight, and in his shirt sleeves rushed acrose City Hall Park and appeared panting and perspiring a few minutes later with & necessary supply of bottles and ~ pens. Patrolman James Taggart, who has been stationed in the Bureau for @ighteen years, lost his temper for the first time a few minutes after the @oors were opened and Dan Cupid's * a army of happy couples swarmed into the room. Chairs were overturned and the five tables arranged for the writing of applications were tipped at Gangerous angies by the jostling, shoving crowd of brides and grooms- te-be. It was impossible to restore order out of such confusion, and the perspiring Taggart cried lusty for help. Geven clerks left their cages and assisted in lining up the crowd. They remained outside all morning help- ing the couples to make out their blanks properly, ‘There was a alight disturbance when Patrolman Taggart observed several young men in the crow’ noliciting the more ignorant of the npplicanta for & commission to write out the blanks and thus save time. In most cases they charged a fee of 2 quarter for the service. But their prosperity was short lived. rt was on the job and the fellows were rushed out of the reem.

She hadn't even taken off the hat she wore to Coney Island; just untied her motoring veil and slipped out of her long dust- coat. There was an occasional break of weariness in her smooth English voice, and she twisted her gloves a bit nervously from one hand to the other, But no fatigue could dull the sparkle of her glance or the emphasis of her glowing adjectives.

Her eyelids that had drooped lifted as if at the release of a concealed ‘epring, and her blue eyes flashed. “Fascinating!” she breathed again. “What did you do down there?” “Everything,” promptly. “We went into the place where you race the horses first of all. We went on the toboggan that slides down over the water. And to so many of the side shows, and to dancing rooms and res- taurants where they also danced.
