Telegram Says Young Elopers
Have Wed in Boston, but a
ReCkoning's Coming.
PAPA HAHN'S EYE ATTIRE
And Mrs. 0stermann Is Expected
to Develop New Notes in
Daughters Soprano When
Honeymoon Wanes.

The Babes in the Wood" have found
their way out of the tall timber, only to
become enmeshed in a matrimonial tangle
In Boston. At least that is the way the
wind blows. on receipt of kilograms yes
terday by the parents of Paula Ostermann
and Milton Hahn, who eloped on Memorial
Day from their homes in Woodhaven.
Announcement of Paula and Miltons ro-
mantle disappearance was emblazoned TO
the world in the public prints. Subsequent
happenings. providing young Hahn's father
. and pretty Paula's mother find their chill
dren. are likely TO be less public but more
. impressive. The down will probably be
worn from Loves soft cheek when the
nnal reckoning comes.
When Mr. Hahn ST., talked TO reporters
last night there was something in his eyes
which BODIED little good for Milton. In fact.
il might be said that 1t will be case of
Millions Paradise Lost when father and
son meet.
Mr.. Hahn had received a telegram from
Milton dated from Boston containing this
nonchalent item: Have married Paula
don't worry. Milton"
Mrs. Osterman it is said, received II wire
of similar import from her child. Then the
heads of the two families got together and
considered ways and means When they
got through things began to take on a
gloomy look for the youthful pair
Although Milton neglected to give any
address In his brief telegram, Mr. Hahn is
confident Of finding the boy. He gave the
police a photograph of his son. with a de-
tailed description. which will be sent TO
the police Of Boston.
Speaking of Millions escapade, Mr. Hahn
said his son had annexed the family strong
box, containing $40 in cash and many
valuable papers. when he made his exit
from Woodhaven. The day following his
disappearance. however, the strong box was
returned to the Hahn home by uniformed
messenger, who was unable TO give any do
tails as to how he received 1t. When the
box was opened Mr.. Hahn found $500 In
cash and the missing documents.
He did not seem unduly impressed by
Mlton's magnanimity in returning all but
$40 of the money. On the contrary, he
said in positive, incisive tones that he
would never forgive the boy. From MIR.
Hahns manner. it was gathered that dark
cloud is hanging over Millions rosy horizon
and that the storm will he severe.
As for Mrs. Ostermann. she sent down
word by a maid that she would not dis
cuss her daughters affairs In any manner,
shape or form, having had all the publicity
in the matter that she cared for.
Putting two and two together, the i'm
preston was gained that Milton and Paula
we're in for q very exciting fifteen minutes
when they eventually reach their parents
fresides once more. Neighbors down
Woodhaven way. who keep their fingers on
the pulse OF village events. Insist that
sounds of distress will be heard from the
Hahn homestead when Mr.. and Mrs. HAM
jr return from their honeymoon.
When high anguished soprano is heard
from Mrs. Ostermann house all Wood
haven will know that Paula is getting hers.
