YEAR PASSES BEFORE
 WEDDING IS REVEALED
Popular Young Lady Visits in Phoe- nix, Marries and Says Nothing.


 Friends of Miss E. NJ Newport, for merly of Tucson, but now of San Diego. will be surprised to learn that the young lady is no longer Miss Newport, but is the wife of O. H. Shade and had been ever since the oc- casion of her visit to Phoenix over a year ago. The marriage has been kept a secret over a year, only the mother of the bride being aware of the wedding.
 The San Diego Tribune of Sunday printed the following regarding the disclosure:
 ITO be married for more than a year and the fact kept a secret from friends, neighbors and even the girls with whom she comes ill contact daily is what Mrs. O. II. Shade, formerly Miss E. NJ. Newport, d popular young woman living at 507 Julian avenue has done.
 And the best part is. that she she wants the affair kept secret for month more at least
 Just why. she doesn't seem to know-at least, the only reason she gives is that it has been kept quiet for a year now, and she doesn't see why in the world it can't be withheld for a month longer.
 Cupid has many funny ideas about married life. In some cases, he is the first to spread the news, in other cases he succeeds in keeping the mat ter quiet for a while, but sooner or later it leaks out, if not through friends who have been told in confi- dence, then through the parent.
 Seldom has it been possible for the little god of love to keep such a step in the lives of two persons quiet for a whole year and the news which an nounced the marriage of Miss New port to O. H. Shade, more than year ago. comes as the result of many happy counting days.
 According to reports. the marriage took place in Phoenix, Arizona. more than q year ago. The groom. a Salt Lake business man, was at that time in Phoenix looking after his mining interests in Arizona and New Mexico. The bride. a pretty young woman of perhaps 20 or 21 summers, was wis iting in Phoenix at the time and the romantic courtship. which started 
 ripened into love and marriage.
 Both agreed to keep the affair secret, but about eight months ago the news was broken to the mother of the bride. She forgave and the two came to the little unpretentious home. of the parents to make their home. Mrs. Shade has been with her mother now for about six months and the husband short time ago went to Los Angeles, where it is said he has engaged in business,
 Mrs Shade, at present, is employed by G. H. Becker. the Fifth street mer- chant. and when seen by a Tribune representative this morning admitted that she had been married for more than year.
 But please don't say anything about it just yet. We have kept it secret for about a year now and don't care to have the news made public just yet My husband is at present in Los Angeles and l expect to go up there for a time week from today. I don't know what busi- ness he has taken up in the northern city. but in the last letter I received from him, which came yesterday, he said that he wanted to surprise me and would not say anything about his business affairs until he saw me.
 "T don't know just why we kept the matter secret, but we agreed to it. and. while my mother has known all about cur marriage in Phoenix, no other of my friends. not even the girls in the store, have an inkling that I am a married woman"
