WEDDING TODAY
END OF PRETTY
6-DAY ROMANCE
Miss Constance Sellers to Be-
come Bride of Mr.. Harry
Drum of Chicago, at Sci
Iers Home This Afternoon,

n
Thoroughly modern in its setting,
with a transcontinental touring car
prominent In its stage business, and
Cupid at the steering wheel. is the
romance which eliminates this af-
%ternoon in the wedding in this city
Of Miss Constance Sellers, daughter
Of Cot and Mrs. II. X. b. Sellers, to
Mr., Harry Drum, motor editor Of the
Chicago Record-Herald and a young
journalist Of considerable success in
the Windy City. Love at first sight .
is a truism, but il doesn't begin to
express the situation which has re-
suited in the nuptials to be celebrated
/ today.
Some weeks ago Mr.. Drum arrived
In this city as one of the passengers
of the pathfinding automobile Of A.
L. Westgard of New York City, blaz-
ing 4 way through the western wilds
in the course of the task of laying
out a buzz wagon route from the At
lantie to the Pacific coast. In the
party We're Mr.. and Mrs. Westgard,
Mr., Drum and Driver Ray Nc
Namara.
Fate turned the trick when Colonel
Sellers, as representative OF the New
Mexico Automobile Association got in
his touring cor, and accompanied by
his wife and daughter, went up the
road north Of this city to pilot the
pathfinders into Albuquerque. 1t was
inevitable that the handsome young
Journalist should meet the daughter
Of the escort; quite in the nature of
things, in fact.
No one, of course, knows just the
psychological moment, but 1t is safe
to say that it was at first sight.
Anyhow II happened suddenly and
irrevoeably. The pathfinding party
was here On its westward trip only
three days, but d lot can take place
in three days, and evidently no time
was lost while the young people were
in each others society.
After the completion OF the auto
tom at Los Angeles Mr.. Drum lost no
time in starting on the return trip
by train, and his re-appearance in
Albuquerque the past week con-
rirmed the lurking suspicious in the
minds Of the intimate friends of the
charming young society belle OF this |
city. Again apparently the fleeting
moments were improved to the full
est advantage and today comes the
romantic denouement in the mar
riage of one or this eity's most pepu-
lar and attractive maidens, a denoue-
menf which will prove Of the most
intense interest to q very large circle
Of friends and admirers.
The ceremony win take place at
the Sellers residence, Ito South Arno
street at s O'Clock this afternoon,
A~rehdeacon W. II. Warren officiat-
ing.
The bride will be attended by Miss
Hazel Cox and the groom by Mr..
Charles Weber.
The wedding is to be a quiet one
and shortly thereafter the bride and
groom viii board the Chicago limited
for the city ON Lake Michigan where
they will make their home, followed
by the Fluctuations of many warm
friends. To make the romance COM
plete they should make the return
trip by automobile, but as far as
known this eminently fitting culmin-
alton win not be attempted.
shortly after reaching Chicago the
couple will go on to Dayton, Ohio,
Colonel Sellers old home, and the
city where the bride attended school
several years. Here the honey
moon win be spent before Mr.. Drum
goes back to Chicago to take up the
practical everyday routine of
after the buzz wagon depart
ment OF one of the largest news
papers in the west.
Being a newspaper man, Mr., Drum
allows himself to be aston
but il was the finishing touch
to a splendid newspaper romance
when he received promptly yesterday
a telegraphic order from the Chicago
Record-Herald.
Rush story of wedding at once"
The congratulations which the
groom win receive will not serve TO
conceal the regret which all the
brides friends will feel to see her
Albuquerque. she has always
been a prime favorite here, a fact
wen attested by the ovation h re-
some time age when she SO
r~leverly and gracefully took the part
