enough to give pretext for the two to run
over to Jacksonville, where the expenses
Of the wedding, all told, didn't amount to
more than IS or $40. There were no fine
dresses, flowers, gifts or anything of that
sort, and when they re turned home they
had chance to go to housekeeping quietly
and unoetentatiously. 1t was a shrewd
plan and sensible one for all parties con-

matches which had no other reason than
economy. Parents, relatives and all were
willing for the young people to commit mat

Sideration and a little timely opposition
which caused an elopement smoothed out
the crooked channel In which the Course OF
true love was running. The cost of the
wedding was saved for housekeeping, the
