DISAPPEARANCE OF MEMERE CHRISTIN
 IS EXPLAINED

Through a statement made by H. c. Garnett, formerly editor of a French newspaper published in Holyoke, the unusual circumstances attending the disappearance from this city two weeks ago of aged. Virginia Christin, affec- tionate1y known to memberssof St. An thQpy's French R. c. church as Memere -Christin, was cleared up.
 Adenere Christin has gone to Nicolet, Canada, there to enter the home of the parents of the late Father Desaulniers, whose housekeeper. the old woman was for more than 9 decade. In comply ance with the wishes of Father Desaul- niers, who entertained high regard for the aged woman, his parents will provide her with all the comforts Of their own home.
 MT. Garnett says a brother of the late priest came to Bridgeport to take her to Canada and the woman disap- peared, going, itewas later learned, to the home of a family named Fisher living in Stratford. They waited sev- eral days for her return, and when they encountered her on the street they secured carriage, took her to the home of Father Dahme, her spiritual adviser, whom she bade farewell. and then accompanied by Mrs Theophile Duva1 and her daughter Ida, of 45 ton. Later she sent for her effects. It was apparent from the remarks Of Father Benoit made last Sunday that he was dfspleased at the method or Memere's disappearance. but now the members of the congregation knowing the beloved old housekeeper has a place of comfort, are satisfied.

STRATFIELD SCRUB WOMAN DESERTED
 AT ALTAR'S EDGE
Susan Kapik Discards Emery and Returns to Work Believ- ing That All Men Are Pickle

Seeking to forget her heartbreak in honest toll, Susan Knapik, scrub wo- man of the Hotel Stratdeld, went to her nights task with more than usual diligence at 10 o'clock last evening, and applied the bush with such visor that the radiance that a few hours before had mantled her features, transferred itself to the brass and woodwork of the big hostelry.
 Yesterday afternoon Susan got tog- ged out in her best finery, for she ex- pected to be a bride by evening. Her intended spouse, Kornd Kollar, aged Is, two years older than she, walked into the town clerks office with At torneys Geduldig and Merva who were to fill the posts of bridesmaid and best man, and she came tagging on with an embarrassed smile playing about her not unattractive rosy cheeks.
 Suddenly the prospective bridegroom became alarmed. He refused to an sWer the customary queries and final ly burst out crying and fled. Right at the altar Susan had been deserted. Dreams of the little home, where her soft warm arms would wait to embrace her fine young husband returning from his daily toll, gave way to realization of the fact that she had been handed the ice pitcher right on the matri- monial threshold.
 So she hurried to her boarding house, discarded her 6nery, and went to work as usual last night, satisfied, she said, that there is no constancy in the best man in the world. 4,

Bent on Saturday The brides age acted as a bar to the marriage license until the sanction Of her parents could be obtained. Her father was dead and her mother across the seas. She had no legal guardian So she asked Mayor Buckingham. He gave the desired permission when he looked up Frank and decided he would make a suitable heIpmeet.
 The two set outM for New Haven hoping to steal q march on their friends, returning here as bride and groom, but in the Elm City they were refused when they asked to be mar ried. The permission of the Mayor, they were told, was good only for his own city. So they finally came back to Bridgeport and were quietly mar ried Saturday. Their friends learned of the nuptia1s today, and hastened to congratulate the young folks.
