that my own father can afford-just
because Mr.. Chaplin is rich man and
has nothing to do with it,
This was ''Bessie' Chapin's word,
and her word was law, for when can "a
pretty girl have her own sweet will if
not at her weddinga And so, when
Miss Elizabeth Jenison Chaplin, of Chi
cago, twenty-five years old, became the
bride of her cousin, Chester Williams
Chaplin, of New York, sixty-fve years
old, it was tulle and satin instead of
priceless laces and imported brocades.
The reason for it? Because Charles
E. Chaplin, father of the beautiful
bride, is man of modest means, and
Chester w. Chaplin, the bridegroom, is
twenty times a millionaire. And the
bride did not propose to anticipate
the millions that are now hers to share
by even the few brief moments that
marked her transition from Miss
Chaplin to Mrs. Chaplin.
But that is only 1.-THE of all tho
romance of this marriage. 1t is as !
pretty story as one might well wish. |
1t is story of man of mature years

girl whom he had for two decades re- /

whose girlish desires it was his pleas

hand; the elderly millionaire found |

New Submarine Destroyer.

A new naval terror in the shape of a
submarine destroyer has just been in
vented by Lewis Nixon, a graduate of
Annapolis and former naval officer, then
shipbuilder and now an official of the
Carbon Steel works, of Pittsburg, Pa,
says writer in the Technical World
Magazine for January. The essentials of
the new terror of the seas are being kept
a secret until certain patent rights have
been granted by different countries. 1t
is known, however, that the destroyer
of submarines, as planned by Mr. Nixon,
is scarcely larger than a first-class sub

the submarine has to keep within twelve
