Announcement Of Marriage Re-
veals Romance Of Miss
Adelaide Locke.

The many friends of Miss Adelaide
Edna Locke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Benjamin Locke, OF 1888 Claremont ave,
nue., Montclair, were surprised today
to learn that she has been the wife of
Frank Warne Hoff, for more than two
and half years. The marriage took
place on Washington's Birthday. Feb
ruary %, 1907, at the parsonage of the
Westminster Presbyterian Church, in
West Seventy fifth street. New York
city, the ceremony being performed by
the Rev. H. G. Mendenhall The young
couple then returned to their respe ctive
homes.
Mr. Hoff, who is son of William L..
Hoff, of Washington, N. j., went to
Montclair about four years ago. and
was employed by the Public Service
Corporation for a time. He is a
graduate of the electrical engineering
department Of Lafayette Collese.
Easton, Pa, but is now employed as a
shoe salesman by firm in this city.
The young couple had been keeping
company for about a year While in
New York on the day of their marriage
the young man, in a spirit of mischief
dared Miss Locke to visit a parson and
get married The young woman naively
accepted the dare, and the secret cere-
mony followed Mrs. Hoff kept the
secret from her parents until last
March, but not until today did the fact
of their marriage reach the public.
Mr. Hoff is now considering an offer
of a government position as electrician
on the force employed in the construc-
ton of the Panama canal, and 1t is this
fact that probably led to the making
of the marriage public. No reason is
given as to why the marriage was not
made public before.
