SURPRISE FOR FRIENDS.
Thomas J. :Enright and Miss Ionic
Holbruner Wed.

Thomas j. Enright an employe of the
stationery room of the United States Sen
ate, sprang a surprise on his associates
at the Capitol last Friday. and yesterday
was besiesed by everybody in the building
who knows him and nearly everybody
who doesn't but who heard the news.
For the past three weeks Mr.. Enright
and Miss Ionic Holbruner. who resided
with her mother at 231 New Jersey ave-
nue., were engaged to be married, but
Mrs. Holbruner thought her daughter was
too young to wed. The young lady is
twenty years of age and Mr. Enright
is twenty five. They thought they were
old enough to decide such matters for
themselves, so Friday morning they
boarded a car for Rockville. Nd. where
they found clergyman who quickly tied
the knot.
The young couple did not intend to an
nounce their marriage at once. but the
brides wedding ring was discovered on
her finger as soon as she returned home,
and in some absolutely unaccountable
way news Of the event spread to the Cap
itol.
Mr.. Enright came to this city about four
years ago from East ST. Louis, ILL.,. to
accept a position in the stationery room
Of the Senate. He is one of the most jovi-
al spirits In that end of the Capitol, and
his friends yesterday made tire most OF
his good nature, but they could not chase
from his face an unusually broad and
satisfied smile.
Mr.. and Mrs. Enright have made no
definite plans for the future. The hride's s
mother after the secret was told to her,
announced that she never had any OBJ
jections. anyway, and she didn't see
why the young couple considered 1t neces-
sary to go to Rockville.
