scene ola pretty marriage yesterday at
noon, when Miss Mary Elizabeth Hattoii
and Mr. Frank Warren Lathrop were
united in holy wedlock by the Rev.
Father Joseph Magri, of st. Peters Ca

The marriage has a delightful flavor OF
romance as both of the young people were
residents of Norfolk. and it was only
Thursday afternoon at o'clock. that they
decided to be married. The bride, who
is a beautiful blonde, is the daughter OF
the late Frances and Mrs. Mary Hatton
and lives at Ii Virginia street, in Norfolk,
while Mr.. Lathrop holds responsible
position with the Marine Bank IN that
city.

several years until last week, when mis-
understanding arose. which threatened to
prove serious. as they scarcely spoke when
they met each other on the street. YES
terday being Miss Hatton's birthday. Mr.
Lathrop phoned to her that he would call
when she came home to lunch from the
Office OF the court of chancery. of which
she is stenographer. After talking mat
ters over Mr. Lathrop finally obtained the
Young lady's consent to be married i'm
mediately, and all preparations We're made
to have the ceremony performed at
o'clock last evening in Norfolk The car
riage was at the door to carry the pair
to the residence of Father DOherty, when,

Doherty would not be able TO perform
the ceremony until he had obtained a dis
pensation from Bishop Van dc Vyver as
required by the Catholic Church when u
Catholic and Protestant marry.
If the bishop were wired ana answered
Immediately. even then they would be
too late to take q train for the North.
The only way out of the dilemma, they
decided. was to catch the Norfolk and
Western train to Petersburg and come
to Richmond which they did. arriving
at midnight
Miss I4atton was met by Mrs. Deadly
and spent the night with her. while Mr..
Lathrop and his best man went to Muir
phys Hotel.
Father Magri was seen and Bishop Van
de Vyver's dispensation obtained and the
happy couple were married at noon. The
bride was prettily gowned in gray silk
with large bunch of hrysanthemums
and was attended by her sister, Miss
Josephine Hatton, in White organdie. The
parlors were beautifully decorated with
palms and yellow chrtsantl,emums and
after the ceremony the health of the
bride and groom was drunk, and they
took the afternoon train for Washington
and Baltimore, and will make their fu-
ture home in Norfolk.
The bride. who is a Catholic. was
anxious to have been married in the
parish house of Father Doherty, but I'M
der the circumstances they were obliged
to resort to other means or postpone the
marriage until yesterday
