AN INTERRUPTED WEDDING.
The Question as to Who Should Be Invited
Caused the Whole Trouble.

PHILADELPHIA JAM S-The following adver-
tisement appeared in local morning paper on
Monday:
"The cards for the marriage of Miss George Cham.
bers and DIR. Willis IL. Hunt, of Camden, have been
Withdrawn. JOHN A. CHAMBERS,
1908 Market street, Camden
This advertisement was the sequel of lovers
quarrel. DIR. Willis Fl. Hunt is one of the finest
looking men in Camden. He is also a success
full physician with Offices at 3l5 Market street
He comes of an old Jersey family, his father,
Dr. John Hunt, having practiced medicine for
many years In Camden county Miss George
Chambers for two or three years has been known
as one of the bellies Of Camden, and although
she will not be eighteen years of age until the
18th of the present month, she is as much a
woman as many young ladies several years her
senior. She is decidedly pretty girl.
"The engagement" said DR.. Hunt, twas
broken off last Sunday. but am sorry Mr..
Chambers has seen fit to give it this needless
publicity. l don't blame Miss Chambers, for I
think she is not in fault. 1 believe the whole
thing is piece Of her mothers work-a case of
too much prospective mother-in -law-and it all
arose OF difficulty about issuing the invitations
to the wedding. You see, Mrs. Chambers
showed me list of those she wanted to be pres
ent at the ceremony, early last week. and asked
me to give her the names of any persons whom
wished to have present, and gave her num-
Der OF names the next day. Among the names
l handed her were those of a young mar
ried couple very near and dear friends Of mine
whose wedding attended very short time ago.
The Invitations were sent out and l sup
posed everything was all right, until friend
stopped me last Thursday on the street and
inquired why had not asked Mr.. and Mis-
the couple just mentioned to my wedding. I
replied that they had been invited He said they
had received no cards. [ answered that there
must have been some mistake, or some accident
for l was certain that their names were put
down upon my list. and that had handed the
list to Mrs. Chambers Thursday night call I'd
around to see Mrs. Chambers, and asked her
why she had omitted to mail invitations to my
friends. She said she would send them two
cards at once, and / withdrew, feeling comfort
able, for l was content that every thing would
be made perfectly straight. On Saturday
learned that two more names of gentlemen on
my list had been crossed off. and on Sunday
called at Mr. Chambers's house to learn what
could about these strange proceedings Mrs
Chambers told me that George had decided to
Withhold invitations from number of my
friends. l asked George why. Her father re-
piled that he would not allow those parties to
enter his house replied that there would be
no wedding then and without utterng another
word. put on my hat and coat, picked up my
cane, left the room and walked out of the front
door into Market street The next thing knew
this advertisement appeared in the paper
'Georgie is in.' said Miss Lille Chambers, a
sister of the bride that was to be, when the
door-bell was answered, but she won't see
anyone. No, / don't think there are any more
particulars about the matter that l could give
YOU The cards are withdrawn, and that ends
it'
The mother Of Dr. Hunts affianced said that
the Doctor and George had squabble, and
that the advertisement withdrawing the cards
was printed by Dir. Chambers. That's all Ill
say" said Mrs Chambers.
ALI the presents on both sides have been re-
turned, but 1t is whispered that reconciliation
will take place, and the lovers be united after
ALL despite cards, advertisements or maternal
objections.
