HAVING THE USUAL CROP
Number OF Bridal Couples That Visit
Washington Is the Same
as Ever.

Washington is the mecca of bridal
couples. There was time when II
was supposed that Niagara Falls held
the record for the largest number of
bridal couples Of any place in the
United States. That is all changed
now. Bridal couples gravitate toward
Washington as naturally as a bee
to the honeysuckle.

the guides to the building are found,

Guides" from what portion of the
country the tourists were coming at

crop of bridal couples. They seem to
be more plentiful now than at anv
other season of the year."

John Lane felt it, without exactly

admired her distantly, always liked
her in careless, youthful fashion. But
he had told him self always, likewise
his mother, that when it came to mar

must have some money; not fortune,

that a very pretty and very poor girl
would love him disinterestedly.
Now behold! Elizabeth, who was
very pretty and very poor, was tang

degree that made him uncomfortable.
Worse than the poverty was the fact
that she carried weight-the weight of
