Itit Love SUOTN
The little love story which will end
so happily in Chicago tomorrow be-
gan long ago. The courtship during
the past six weeks has been carried
on through teleEraphic communica- =
lions. Telegraph companies in Har-
risburg, Erie and Chicago have been
busy night and day taking care of
love messages and plans for the we'd
ding.
Original plans called for a. Spring
wedding, but We'll laid plans of mice
and men gang aft agley."
Mr.. Andrews was given an advance
meht in business life. when he was
elected to the presidency and general
managership of the Harrisburg Baking
Company. His new duties required
his immediate attention, and he will
get no vacation in the Springtime.
So, out in Chicago, a pretty stem
ographer resigned her position and
the wedding takes place on Christmas
Day. Neither the prospective bride or
bridegroom could get away from their
duties to arrange for the event, so the
telegraph lines were brought into SER
vice.
How IL All Started
The romance started in a little town
in Illinois, not far from Chicago, when
as a boy Andrews each year visited
his uncle during the summer vaca-
ton. The girl visited in the same
town just as regularly. The relatives
of the boy and girl were neighbors,
and, of course they became friends.
Friendship ripened into love, and
finally the boy and girl agreed that
when they grew up and had finished
their studies they would get married.
Miss Henry finished her course at
the Hyde Park High School, and then
took up a business course. In the
meantime the young man was studying
at the Leland Stanford University in
California.
Miss Henry is a member of two
school fraternities, the Psi Eta Phi
and the Delta Psi Upsilon. Her par
ents have long been residents of Chi
Cago.
Following his graduation at the
University, Mr.. Andrews toured the
United States. He started when quite
a young man with the Andrews Com
pany. of Erie, owners of three bakeries
and two land companies. When A. w.
Andrews, who has been head of the
local company for five years, was
transferred TO New Castle, James A.
was elected to take charge of the Har-
risburg plant.
