Romance Taken Out Of Southern Elope
ments.

A writer Of o southern paper is convinced
that there is less of romance in the many
elopements Of young lovers in that section
than has generally supposed. He is au-
thority for the bald statement that more
than half of the so-called elopements are
the result Of conuivance on the part of all
concerned, in the interest of economy,
since they do away with the expense of
wedding outfits, presents and receptions.
In the country" he writes, 1T is consid-
cred highly sensational and romantic for q
young fellow to snatch up his sweetheart,
place her in buggy, and drive furiously
through the mud and rain twenty miles to
get married, no matter it all the family are
perfectly agreeable to the match. /" It is
only occasionally, however, that am elope !.
nent furnishes any sensation or romance.
