NO VILLAIN IN THE PLAY.

burg, the sxtsen.ycar-od bride of Nor
timer William Hamburg, who manages
a shoe store in the Bronx. has fluttered
home TO the welcoming arms Of her
fond and devoted husband, at No. ~
Union avenue, the Bronx, af.rr an alb
sence of two weeks, during which she
learned that tn, lure OF the footlights Is
tawdry sham.
At least THAT is the way she de-
scribed 1t to-day when she called at
The Evening World Office blushing
with real pinks and roses, and bubbling
over with exultat!on at being once
more happy Newlywed instead OF
hapless, downtrodden. automob!leless
chorus girl
No Villain In the Play
AT the very beginning this sparkling
young bride wanted The Evening World
TO correct the erroneous impression as
to her height and weight conveyed in
the general alarm her husband sent out
for her. She does not weigh 100, but
is becomingly plump at 40, the proper
beauty average for her height OF feet
8 inches. Furthermore she desires the
world to know that there was no villain
involved In her running away from
home. She was simply stagestruck and
thought she had the figure, good looks,
&c, requisite for a stage Job.
Il ran away and married Mortimer
last July" began the bride In recount
ing her very interesting story OF how
she failed to become clUrus girl. II
had only known him two weeks when
he rushed me off TO the City Hall and
We were married By Alderman Mccain.
He was perfectly crazy about me, was
Mortimer. and is yet.
But do you know, as soon as ! |
realized ! was married, / became aw-
fully frightened and ran away home .
to mother. That was two days before |
my sixteenth birthday. Mortimer
came for me pretty soon, and took |
me away for two months honey
moon In the West We travelled all !
through the State OF Indiana and had .
A perfectly beautiful time.
Then We came home. Yes, came
home--to motherin-law There, ]

aw experience that was really at the
bottom of my running away on Christ
mas Day, though l really bad always
been wild about going or the stage.
Ny mother-in.law is a very capable
very, and the minute
Mortimer brought me home she dis.
charged her maid and put me to work.
guess | looked pretty strong to her
stronger than the maid, maybe-so
she cleared out the Kitchen for me
and put me to work.
Got Cross About II.
We'll. didn't like that at all, and
got very cross over 1t, and began think
ng about the stage. Mortimer was on
he stage once, doing Hamlets and
hings. and he used 10 read me to sleep
lut Of Shakespeare. So pretty soon, not
king my mother.!n-law. decided to
'un away and 30 on the stage Yes,
