A LITTLE ARISTOCRATIC ROMANCE
We do not often hear Of roniatic attach
ments, stern parents and elopements in
real life, and the so-called fashionable
world has been much amused by the story
Of the attempted elopement of two aristo-
cratic lovers. The lovely daughter OF. an
Earl went with her parents last year to
Scarborough, a delightful seaside place in
Yorkshire, famous as u happy ground for
widows and young bachelors who want to
marry money. There the Lady Emily,
who might appropriately sing the pretty
song composed when the Princess Royal
was married, f"I, too am seventeen.
Mamma" first saw and fell in love with
and was beloved by a Scotch peer As,
however, her lover was considerably on
the shady side of forty, the young lady's
parents objected to the match. The low
ers behaved with considerable consistency
and failing to move the obdurate heart of
the earl they planed an elopement. There
was not to be any use of a ladder Of ropes
or fire-escupe. The affair was to be managI
ed in pleasant way that would cause no
discomfort or Inconvenience to the lovers.
The young lady was going with her papa
and mamma to garden party given by
the Prince of Wales at Chiswick. The
elderly Scotch peer had also an invitation
te the party. Of course nothing would be
easier than ior the young lady to stroll
away fromthe company, and the elderly
Scotch peer would casually meet herand
quietly lead her out of the garden to his
carriage which would be in waiting.
Things fell ont rs the lovers wished, until
Just as they reached the garden gate, when
daughters hand on his arm, led her back
to her mamma, much to the discontinue
of the elderly Scotch lover, who had been
so impr,dent as to oontide his plans to one
or two ,faithless iriends! All's well that
ends we'll, however, and the danger of
scandal has, it is rlmored, frightned the
Earl into accepting the faithful and elder
ly lover as d sor-in-law.--,SdnE FRANCISCO
