"Yes, my dear, with a takin' IN here

Gently eliminated in the marriage of
and Mr.. Francisco de la Pena of Pu-
ebla, is the sensation of the hour in
society circles of this mountain city
of Mexico. The happy couple ar
rived here few days ago and are now
established in their own home.
The story of the romance is being
told and retold by the friends and rela-
tives of the bridegroom in this part of
Mexico. Mrs. Pena is the daughter of
mill superintendent in Lowell. In
the factory there are manufactured
various grades of cotton goods, which
are sold and shipped to remote parts
of the world. Despite the noise of
the mills and the busy life of the thou
sands of working people who comprise
most of the population of Lowell, this
young daughter of the mill superin-
|,tendent found her lot in life lonely
one, she says. She was given the free
dom of the factory, and it was her GUS
tom to wander through the big stock
room and shipping department and
make silent wishes to herself that she
could take some of the long trips on
which the bolts of goods were going.
One day, three years ago, in a spirit
of fun, she wrote upon the smooth pine
board upon which bolt of goods was
about to be wrapped these words:
"Oh, I am so very, very lonely;
please do write me letter. Meta Bel

The bolt of cotton goods found
it's way in due course of time to

a bolt, when his attention was attract
ed to the written inscription upon the
pine board. 1t was in English, and he
could not read it, owing to his lack
of knowledge of that language at that
time.
His curiosity was aroused, however.
and an English-speaking clerk in the
store was called upon to translate the
strange message. Young Pena made
a careful note of the address and in
his room that night he wrote a letter
to the unknown young lady, who had
sent the appeal to this remote part of
the continent. This letter was writ
ten in Spanish, but he had it trans
lated into English. 1t contained few
formal sentences, saying that he would
be glad to correspond with her. Miss
Belmont was surprised and delighted
to receive the letter from an un-
known person in foreign land. She
replied to it, and correspondence
which was then begun was continued
without interruption.
Pena became deeply interested in
the unknown American girl and he de.
voted himself to study of the Eng
lish language in order that he might
be prepared to converse with her when
he met her. They exchanged pho
tographs and were we'll pleased with
each others appearance. Then came
the marriage proposal. Miss Belmont's
father objected strongly to the match.
Pena resolved to make a personal
appeal for possession of the young
lady. Accompanied by his father. the
long trip from Puebla to Lowell was
made several months ago. The senior
Pena and his son were received at the
home of Miss Belmont's parents and
the couple there for the first time met
each other personally. Their love for:
each other was as strong as ever. and
the objection Of Belmont to the mar.
riage was quickly overcome.
The Penas returned to Puebla after
the plans for the wedding had been
satisfactorily. arranged. 1t took place
recently, and the couple, after a:
lengthy honeymoon trip, are now in
Puebla to make their permanent home.
