PRETTY YOUNG JEWESS
HAPPILY MARRIED TO THE MAN OF
HER CHOICE YESTERDAY.
An EIOpement to Indianapolis Is the
CuIminatiOn of a. Romantic Gin
cinnati COurtship.

A quiet wedding took place at the Eng
lish Lutheran parsonage on Walnut street,
yesterday afternoon, that will create vast
amount of interest in Cincinnati and Cleve-
land. 1t was an elopement and the mar
riage marked the end of a romantic court
ship, carried on for the most part on wheels
and persevered in against all sorts of diff

both families. Orvin Gould Smith is a young
electrical engineer of thirty-one, whose peo-

a supervising engineer by one of the large
electrical corporations of the country. His
employment took him for some months to
Cincinnati and there he met Florence the
beautiful daughter of Solomon Goldsmith,
of Walnut Hills, one of the wealthiest of
Cincinnati's many wealthy Hebrews. She
is a girl of twenty and endowed with
a wealth of wondrous dark beauty.
Both were enthusiastic devotees of the
wheel and in the companionship brought
about by long rides about the country
north of Walnut Hills they learned the old
story about there being but two people in
the world worth knowing.
They told their people of their love and
their troubles began. Smiths parents said
he could DO as he pleased, but they loved
their own church and their own people.
Solomon Goldsmith. with no less pride of
race, vowed that his daughter should not
marry a gentle. Thus there were tears,
but the courtship continued. The parents on
both sides remained obdurate and the lapse

had a friend in Indianapolis and to him
he applied for help. The friend looked up
the law and found that license could be
obtained. Smith came to indianapolis two
or three days ago. In company with his
friend he called upon Rev. d. L. Macken-
Zie pastor of the First English Lutheran
Church and frankly laid the whole story
before him. He found sympathy and got
promise that the ceremony should be per-

toothache and discovered that one of the
would take it to the shop and then go on
to the dentists to have that tooth looked
after, so she might be gone some time. All
unsuspecting, her good mother permitted
her to depart in peace and she made
straight for the station and embarked for
Indianapolis at $50 o'clock, arriving here
at noon.
She was met at the station by her lover
and after a happy lunch the marriage Ii

ingly explained to the good wife of the
minister that she had been so frightened
lest her secret should be discovered that
she had not had opportunity to prepare
much of trousseau, but her costume,
though modest and simple was very pretty
and the minister's wife explained that one
whom nature had so bountifully endowed
with beauty did not need handsome clothes.
