TIE Secret of an Elopement.


TIE Secret of an Elopement.
A New York correspondent of the Phila
delphia Dispatch says that it is now an old
story how a few weeks ago pretty Kitty
Kernochan and young Herbert Pell got
married on the sly, so that not soul be-
side themselves knew a word about it until
they had started on their wedding tour
except, of course, the minister and the
''best man." It is also an old story how
it scandallzed Knickerbockerdom, that
most exclusively Observation-Disclosures cir
Gle of aristocracy of which Miss Kitty had
been the uEdisputed belle, because, for
sooth, the man of her choice, although
rich, handsome, cultured and devoted to
her, was, OH, horrors! actually a business
man, earning money for himself. And
worse still-oh, tell it not in CATH
he had no coat of arms or
family crest, nor was he descended from
one Of the PATRONS. Of course, society
unanimously voted that her parents had
been just right IN opposing the match,
and that her ofense i'll running off with
him was objectionable; and society voted,
too, to frown the young people down re-
lentlessly-which really didn't break the
young peoples hearts.
Well, it has turned out that Kitty took
the sudden step she did to escape the IN
welcome attentions of another man, whom
her parents wanted her to marry. And the
other man was, who do you suppose, of all
the world? Why, that insignificant, sim
pering little rat, the Dac de Morny, son OF
Napoleon Ills notorious minister of the
same name. Last year, it will be remem-
bered, he betrayed and then abandoned
Julie Feyghine, beautiful actress in Par
is and she committed suicide in
his house. Well, he had seen
Kitty Kernochan in Paris, and ad-
mired her, and was fascinated with her
fathers wealth. So that when he heard
that the poor Feyghine's brother was on his
way from Hungary to Paris, with revenge
| in his heart and q revolver in his pocket,
the gallant duke made haste to come to
New York, where, with the actress blood
still crimson on his hands, he renewed his
attention to Miss Kitty. He was welcomed
to the house that Pell had been forbidden
to enter, and Kitty was worried and perse-
| cuted into receiving him graciously until
she could stand it no longer. So she quiet
| ~ slipped out of the house one day, and
| within an hour was Mrs. Pell; and the
happy pair went off on jaunt for week
or two, and then came back, and are living
regular turtle-dove life. Meeting the
| bride at q reception the other day, found
her looking bright and happy as can be.
Had she been to see her parents? No.
| Why, weren't they willing TO accept the
| situation?" Guess not; they don't act so.
And is it really true that they have made
their wills alo iItesally cut the disobedi-
| ent daughtec oil with a shilling? Nm n.
| Who cares: Herbect's worth S1,500.OOO
now, and re made 5200,0 600 last year.
! And notice that Mrs. Pell had Just as
many friends as Miss Kernochan had, and
1 guess she did just about as sensible a
thing as she could, anyway, but to think of
the top-Iofty Knickerbockers preferring
| that little cad of a De MOrny to Herbert
Pell! For of such is the kingdom Of
Knickerbocker.
Another romance now comes to light,
and this time it is the young man who feels
the weight of parental wrath. The scene
is laid in Brooklyn. The bridegroom is
nineteen and the bride sIxteen-each just
a year older than what Buchanan Read
| called ''the loveliest figures on hfe's young
pages" They met at school, and her big
blue eyes and lilY-white face played havoc
with his susceptible young heart; and then
site IdtI0r IuOuSHb nS was ulCS. % IN6
upshOt of it was they got married,
a few days ago without letting any
body else know a word about it. When the
truth was made known, his father,-Mr.
Fougera, the manufacturing chemist and
millionaire,-was in a terrible rage. Il
don't know or care word about the girl
or her folks" he exclaimed, ''nor do know
or care where the two are, nor what they
are going to do. My son has acted very
foolishly, for he has left good position in
my Office, and he won't soon get another as
good. This isn't a good country for living
on bread and cheese and Kisses
The young man had been receiving the
princely income of 81 week. The girl
he married is poor, and so are all her rel
atives. But in all other respects they are
the peers of the best society in the city.
1t is hardly likely that the young couple
Will starve, for hear that he has secured
a position where he will get just three times
what his father paid him:
