opera and put them to music The
opera, it is said, is to be called ''How
Happy Would 1 Be Were the Other

author is reported to have had plenty
of experience in such matters he will
not be at a loss for piquant scenes
The opera, however, will not be un-
dertaken until after dAnnunzios lee

perhaps he may gather fresh material.

GEORGE THOMAS
 |S A BENEDICT Former Pine Blufian and Miss Sibyl Van Wormer, a Typical Southern Beau ty, Married Saturday.
ALSO A PRETTY ROMANCE
Event Follows Meeting at Mineral Wells in June-L0ye at First Sight-Were Prominent in State Fair Floral Parade.

A romance which had it's incep- tion last June in Mineral Wells, Tex as, was eliminated yesterday after noon, when in the study of Rev. French Thompson, says the Hot Springs News-Record, MT. George w. Thomas, passenger agent of the Little Rock and Hot Springs railroad, and Miss Sibyl Van Wormer, of Beau mont, Texas, were quietly married, the only attendants being MT. and Mrs. Ingersol Goodwin.
 The couple met at Mineral Wells in most casual way Miss Van Wormer was visiting the health re- sort with relatives, and MT. Thomas stopped off for a few days recreation while on a Texas business trip.
 The couple were introduced, and it was a case of love at first sight.
 Miss Van Wormer is a typical Southern beauty, most refined young society lady, and the ac- quaintance, which at the time seem ed casual one, was pressed by Mir. Thomas
 After Mir. Thomas had returned home, steady correspondence was kept between the two, and a short while ago, when Dr. Martin and wife, Beaumont friends of Miss Van Wor- mer, were to visit Hot Springs, Miss Van Wormer decided she wanted to see the State Fair.
 On the opening day of the Fair floral pageant was the feature, and one of the features of this event was beautifully decorated automobile, which passed before the review of the thousands. MT. Thomas was at the wheel, and Miss Van Wormer was beside him. When the judges distributed their prizes they remem- bered the automobile, the young man in white at the wheel, and the beauti- full young lady at his side, and they pinned first ribbon honor over his number in the parade.
 It is stated there was some paren- tai objection to the wedding-not enough to interfere with the accus- toned blessing which follows lovers pranks, but that the father of the young lady desired her to wait until she was older before marrying. Re allzing that to counsel with those at home would only court delay, the couple were married yesterday after noon, and then message was sent to the parents of the bride asking their blessing and forgiveness.
 Mr. Thomas is among the most popular young men of the city in so- cial and business circles. The bride is the daughter of a well-known and wealthy Beaumont family
 The couple had been invited to be the guests at a dinner party given at the home of Dr. E H. Martin last night, and the fact of their marriage in the afternoon did not interfere with the plans. They received heart jest congratulations when the news had been whispered about.
 After a trip to Eastern resorts MT. and Mrs. Thomas will return to this city, which will be their future home
