THEIR WEDDING TO BE
AN EXPE RIMfNT
Live Apart for Six Months
to Test Love.

Philadelphia, Dec. 22-An expert
mental marriage. in which the friends
Of the bridegroom and his relatives
hope for failure, was recently entered
upon by Mason NJ. Wilson, scion of a
wealthy and Influential family, who
left here for New York Tuesday night
with his bride, who was Miss Nellie
NJ. Herman, shopgirl.
The young pair are to remain away
from home two weeks on their honey
moon trip When they return to this
city Mrs Wilson is to live with her
parents at the humble home at No
2412 Catherine street Her husband
will return to the home of his mother
Mrs. G. r. Wilcox, at No. Pill Chest
nut street
The status win be maintained for
six months If at the end of that time
Wilson still loves his shopgirl wife
as ardently as he does now they
will resume the double harness and
will spend the summer together at
the home of Mrs Wilcox, in Atlantic
City.
When the young pair left this city
Tuesday night after the merry we'd
ding supper at the Herman home
there was no doubt in the mind of
either that the wedding was a perm
anent arrangement
We're happy" they said together,
We love each other and We always
will"
Their confidence found no room for
doubt that they would successfully
prove their love to the mother and
other relatives OF the rich young
man who had so bitterly opposed the
match The whole affair was a dis
tasteful dose to Wilson'S family.
In the first place, there was the
matter of family The Wilson's are
in the black book Mrs Wilcox
comes of the bluest blood She be-
longs to the Daughters of the Am
arican Revolution whereas there
was no Kernans at the time of the
revolution. She had higher ambitions
for her son than Catherine street
Raised in the atmosphere of Ritten-
house Square. the young man was
not expected to stray into uneXplored
territory.
Again there was the question of
religion. Miss Herman was a CathO
lie, while young Wilson had received
4 Protestant training.
But greatest of all obstacles was
the fact that Miss Herman, prior to
meeting Wilson, had been clerk in
department store and later a
cashier in a corner grocery, Granting
that there must be. such persons. they
don't belong in the neighborhood Of
Rittenhouse square. Wilson met his
attractive wife two months ago
Only recently he became of age and
fell heir to money left him by his
father
