EvERY0NE'S
SECRET

The story in the Boston Sunday Herald
Perry and Ada Evelyn Herne, which took
place in this city Saturday afternoon, was
as great n surprise TO the bride and
groom as IL was TO the friends OF the
interested parties
Young Perry and his bride reached
Lynn at 10 o'clock Saturday night They
parted AT me Herne home. each one
agreeing not TO lisp q word OF what had
transpired here during the afternoon 10
their parents.
Each tried 10 appear supremely uncon-
cerned when they entered their respective
homes. Their parents knew all about
their elopemont for n reporter had visit
ed the two families and Informed them Of
the marriage within two hours after the
ceremony was performed, and several
hours before the bridal couple had started
from Providence for their homes.
Not word did the parents OF the
young couple say to either that would
indicate that they knew what had oc-
Cured and when each retired for the
night they thought they carried their
precious secret with them.
When they arose Yesterday morning il
was an entirely different story. Their
parents were UP before them. bought a
paper. and on the first page saw the story
OF the elopement.
After reading H.. each family hit upon
a novel plan 10 let the couple know they
had no monopoly OF Saturdays interest
ing event. They clipped out the story
laid it on the breakfast table. and when
each sat down for their morning repast
the story looked them in the face
How do you like your first course
this morning." inquired ono OF the Herne
family Of the bride.
Well doesn't that beat the Dutch!
How I'm the world did the reporters get
hold Of that?' exclaimed the bride.
The groom was dumbfounded. i've
heard n said that reporters got the news
before II happened. but I never believed
II until now. Wouldn't that Jolt you!"
When told by their parents that they
knew OF the affair within two hours after
they reached Providence they could hard
ly believe IT, They each received parental
blessing and forgiveness
Until they decide what they will do,
the bride and groom will continue 10 live

they can be attached and suspended to
the side of the horses head. This does
not give the horse any freedom to
move his head without moving the
bag also. \ Philadelphia mar has pat
ented an exceedingly simple feed bag
which oycrcomcs this fault, an illustra-
ton of which is shown here. The bot
tom and sides are made Of canvas or
other flexible material, while the top
consists of a circular frame divided
into two sections, which are connected
by small loops. Supporting the bag
are two metal rods, one on each side,
having hooks at the end which fit into
the loops in the frame. In the center
and at the other end Of the o are
circular loops which are shaped to fit
over the shaft Of the vehicle. 1t can
easily be seen how easily this could
be done, the bag always remaining in
position where the horse could con-
v%eniently reach the feed, al the same
time being able TO move his head free
ly. This feed bag has the additional
advantage hat it can be folded up
when not in use.
