her mother together and they all went
to Baltimore to marry the young man.

had changed his mind. He didn't want
to get married at all. On the disap-
pointed way home, however, the young
lady met another young man who was
perfectly willing to get married, SO she
married him and took him home. The
bridegroom seemed perfectly docile for
some time, then suddenly he lost his
temper, slapped his mother-in-law and
almost bit his wiie's ear off. When
asked in the lawsuit which ensued why
she had married such character the
young lady replied that she had done it
to satisfy the neighbors. They all ex-
pected her to get married when she left
