Clsndcs:ine Counting Results In an Uuex-
pected Alliance.

1t appears that a promising young man,
some time since, was very devoted in his at
tentions TO a leading society belle, whose
home was an elegant residence located il
the vicinity OF Lucas place. Both Of the
parties were Of that tender age when love
and sentiment constitute the principal part
OF existence, and although no especial con-
struction was ICED By the young lady's
parents upO!. 'ae centieman's attentions,
they, In a reasonable amount OF time cul-
| minated an engagement, and both were
happy in the prospect of future matrimo
Mai bliss. They had, however, agreed To
keep the matter very secret, hot even ad-
yising the young lady's parents Of their ac-
ton. Shortly after the engagement, how
ever, the young lady'sparents heard a re-
port, unfounded, il Is said. that the young
man INDUCED too freely in ardent spirits,
which affected them 10 such an extent that
they objected to the daughter receiving his
even friendly calls, and then the young Ia
dy told them of the engagement. Their
surprise and consequent Indignation can be
more readily imagined than described, and
resulted in their positively forbidding the
youths visits. One calm, pleasant even
| ing early this summer the lover called, and
his at first silently disposed inamorata re-
lated to him the parental objections to his
| attentions, at the same time assuring him
Of her undying and unalterable affection.
The youth was much Disconnected, but,
summoIing all his moral courage, he deter
mined upon interviewing the venerable and
respected sire, whom he unfortunately
found in a bad frame Of mind. In the most
| approved style he made flaming appeal,
setting forth his claims for the position Of
son-In-law. The interview was brief, but
the intense feeling which produced such a
rapid flight OF eloquence on the part OF the
old man, momentarily threatened to result
in more than words, and the only recourse
for the completely bailied young man was 4
precipitous departure.
In this awkward dilemma, and while
specializing as TO how he should meet his
sweetheart, generous friend who had carte
blanche to visit the young lady's family, de-
vised the plan OF visiting her and escorting
her TO the fashionable Stoddard addition
summer resort on the popular concert nights,
with view of facilitating reunions be-
tween the lovers. This the mutual friend
did for long time.
On his arrival he would leave the happy
lovers togethef ana When the evening waned
he would return his fair charge TO the pa
rental roof, congratulating himself on the
successful programme he so much assisted
in perfecting. A short time since the pa
rents of the young lady, thinking that a
change OF scene and location for while
would assist their daughter in forgetting
the discarded lover, sent her to one OF the
fashionable watering places East, but be-
fore she left she arranged with her lover to
meet him on her return trip in Chicago.
The appointment was kept few days ago,
and, without further ceremony, the lovers
were privately married. OF course the pa
rents OF the young lady were greatly in
censed at this bit OF circumvention.
Among the society people in the city, the
event is the topic of summer k,-.S.
