WEEDS GIRL TWICE
TO MAKEIT SURE
Marriage of J. G. Schwarz and
Miss Thomas Here and at
Hagerstown

More thrilling than many roman
tic novel is the story of the elopement
of Miss Catherine A. R. Thomas,
daughter or Judge and Mrs. William
III. Thomas, of Westminster, Md, and
James Grant Schwarz. Jr., Of this city.
The couple were married here on
Thursday of this week. and in Hagers-
town again yesterday, and this is how
| it happened.
Miss Thomas, who is a charming
iyoung woman of twenty years, was a
close companion of the three sisters
of Mr.. Schwarz, and attended school
with them at Sharon Hill school, near
Philadelphia. The brother of the
girls had meet Miss Thomas frequent
ly, but seemed rather more attracted
to the older sister Josephine, and few
suspected where his real interest lay.
The romance sped along rapidly in the
last few weeks and plans for the
elopement were set with much care
and foresight. The groom, who holds
q position in the Witman-Schwarz
wholesale grocery establishment on
Walnut street, was too i'll to come to
work last Friday morning and during
his absence evidently planned the
elopement to the last detail.
On Wednesday the bridegroom-to-
be bought two tickets to Hagerstown
and on Thursday took out license at
the Harrisburg Courthouse. The
couple then went to st. Patrick's,
Cathedral, where the marriage cere-
mony was performed by the Rev. M.
NJ. Hassett That evening they jour-
neyed to Chambersburg, where they
spent the night, and proceeded the
following day, Friday, to Hagerstown.
In order to make doubly sure they
took the wise precaution of being mar
ried again, lest the 'irate father" of
the bride, who it is said does not like
elopements, should discover some
technically and endeavor to Illustrate
the plans of the wise young BRIDE
groom. They were therefore married
again at the parsonage of st. Johns
Lutheran Church by the Rev. DR.. S.
w. Owen. in Hagerstown.
The families or the recently married
pair are said to be very good friends
and it was through this friendship
that young Schwarz first met his
bride. The father of the young man
is J. Grant Schwarz, of Witman-
Schwarz Company. and the brides
father is Judge of the circuit court for
Carroll county and of the Maryland
Court of Appeals. Judge and Mrs.
Thomas, according to a Baltimore pa
per, deny that the couple eloped, but
that on the contrary II was with the
full knowledge and consent of the
parents.
The bride is we'll known and popu-
lar in Baltimore, where she frequently
visited. Recently she has been taxi
ing vocal lessons at Peabody Institute,
in Baltimore. Her next birthday will
be on January g.. when she will be Fl
years of age. The groom is 26 years
old and is connected with the firm
of which his father is head. He was
formerly married to Miss Catherine
Kerper, of this city, who died several
I IanY -. ra~II
daughters. The young couple are
spending a few days at the home of the
Igroom's father in Camp Hill, and Mr..
Schwarz WILL resume his duties on
Monday. They will establish a home
at 1924 North Second street where
they will be "At Home" to their friends
after January Is.

 He relaxed his posture and looked up at the detective sharply His voice was crisp.
