Tucker former dean of the law school

LOVE AND
ELOPEMENTS
By Ellen Addir
The Problem of the RunalUay Bride

The problem OF the runaway bride is
always interesting and nearly always per-
picking, too For, OF course, a large sec
ton of the community will always say
unpleasant and highly uncharitable
things anent the happy couple mys-
teries will be made, and rumors that
probably have no foundation whatever
will be circulated. All these things have
to be faced by the young man and wom-
an who decide to take things into their
own hands, and without the consent or
backing of parents and relatives make
the matrimonial leap In secret and With
out the usual accompaniment OF orange
blossoms, bridesmaids. wedding cake and
slow procession to the strains of Mem
delssohn's March!
Only the other day heard OF fond par
ents who actually persuaded their daugn-
ter TO clone, and who went so FAR ms 10
make all the necessary arrangements lo'
the happy couple! IL really cannot NJ
ford to give you grand wedding, ana
to face the expense OF entertaining
hundred odd folks I'm whom none Of us
have the slightest interest" declared the
father in accents most sincere, And SO,
my dear the best thing that you ana
John can do is Just to run off and get
married quietly!
mo, your mother and | won't attend the
ceremony. because people must not guess
that we know a thing about It, This is
really much the best way. And the ar
rangement will please everybody, for 1t
will give the gossps n glorious chance
TO talk it will save your acquaintances
the expense of giving you some prob
nhly hideous and quite useless wedding
presents; It will save you the fatigue ana
the worry OF n big church wedding and
entertainment and, above all, 1t Will save
nv nurse! SO we ought all to be thor
oughly satisfied with my plant
And everybody appeared satisfied; that
is the curious part of the whole proceed
ing. The bride didn't mind little noto-
rietv, for notorlety always does attach
itself to the runaway match. But l think
the brides mother was little veNed.
The other matrons kept reminding her
of the wonderful displays made at their
respective daughters nuptials, until the
dear old lady felt that she had indeed
missed the chance of lifetime.
But the person who was most satisfied
of all was the bridegroom. For men do
hate and detest the fuss and the display
of a wedding. THANK heaven, I'm spared
that!' murmured this bridegroom fer
vently to himself.
The little bride sighed contentedly. For
all that she wanted out of the whole af-
fair was-the man. And she had GER
tainly secured him.

TN the week that followed Mr.. Garden
i Toad's prediction. Tommy Sparrow and
Billy Robin watched the big oak tree AT
the corner very closely. They saw the
leaf buds swell and burst. They saw the
tiny leaves turn from yellow green to the
beautiful leaf green of spring and all the
while, as they watched, they kept
weather eye on Bluey Blackbird. Not n
single symptom of moving did he show;
he seemed to be settled for the summer!
All the same said Billy faithfully, 81
believe Mr.. Garden Toad knew what he
was talking about. / never knew him TO
be wrong. Let's hope a while longer!'
So they watched and hoped and waited
with what patience they could muster.
When the three days of cold rain came
and set back all growing things by just
that much, Billy and Tommy were almost
discouraged but finally after what seemed
like months of storm, the sun came out
and went TO work harder than ever to
make up for lost time.
How everything did grow! Tommy and
Billy could almost see the leaves spread
out on that oak tree and the spot OF
shade under the tree grew bigger and
blaclSer every day.
81 should think he'd move now II he's
going to- said Tommy one day. He eyed
the garden and its freshly dug beds with
mournful interest. What splendid eating
those big fat worms would be, And not
even the rain could make the alley worms
fat or juicy-they had not the same rich
loan to roam through. 'If only we
dared to fight him!"
Dared to fight him!" exclaimed Billy
in disgust. "what good would fighting do?
You know we would get licked! What
we want to do Is to waltz
Its not what want to do" answered
Tommy, tits what have to do"
And so they waited.
Finally the day came when the shade
OF the oak tree was thicker and blacker
than the shade of the pine near the gar
den and Billy and Tommy put on cheer
ful srins.
II saw Mr.. Garden Toad this very morn
ing" said Billy joyously. "and when
asked him about Bluey Blackbird he
wouldn't say a word He just croaked,
Wait and seel Wait and see,' so I'm
sure Wen have the garden to ourselves
sooni'
An this while, Bluey Blackbird had

CtTRANGE to say, the seasons most
- fashionable colors are sombre In the
extreme For instance, all you have TO
do Is keep your eyes open when you are at
a theatre, reception or dance or when you
are walking along Chestnut street some
sunny afternoon. 1t is astonishing to note
the predomnance of navy, midnight or
soldat blues in every conceivable style or
material. Blue tafeta suits are becoming
very popular with the younger generation
with poplins. moires and Palm Beach suit
lngs in close competition.
Afternoon frocks are, almost without eX-
ception made of dark materials. Black is
a special favorite, and the use of this color
has undergone an interesting change.
Black is worn by the debutante nowadays
as we'll as by the matron, and It is not
considered de trop. It is one OF fashions

Why She Is Popular
AMONG HER GIRL FRIENDS.


Because Mary isn't the sort to go rush
ing round making new acqualntances
here. there and everywhere, with a sort
of surface friendlinesss that means-just
nothingl
Mary hasn't whole host of girl
friends-she has just a few-and those few
she'll stick to through thick and thin.
And she's no fair-weather friend,
either! She'll laugh with you and frivol
with you. and enter into your fun with
all the zest in the world; but when the
day comes that your heart feels like lead,
Mary can meet you with deep, under
standing sympathy that makes her COM
radeship n rare and precious thing.
When that big, black cloud envelops
you she seems to know by instinct that
you don't want lot of fusslnE and
questioning, but the comfort of feeling
there's somebody there TO confide in If
tho trouble is too heavy to be borne
alone.
She's so tactful that she knows when
you'd rather be left to fight 1t out your
self-when not even your closest friend
can help.
And she isn't one of those people who
get "hufy" over all sorts of imaginary
Sights!
No; Marys too sensible too large
minded for that.
She's always nicely dressed, is Mary,
because she's very quick and clever with
her fingers. All the same, she doesn't
look down on the girl chum who must
often 20 shabby because her purse cannot
buy all the new things from the shops,
No; Mary's true blue" And that's why
she's always in demand among her girl
friends.
She is popular among her elder brothers s
pals because there is mo nonsense" about
Mary She loves an outing as much as
any girl, but she doesn't expect every
young man who comes to the house to
treat" her In return to unlimited dinners
and theatre parties.
But when Mary does get an unexpected
treat she thoroughly enjoys every minute
of 1t and proves the best of company.
There's something so natural ABOUT
Mary that 1t Is possible TO be on the
friendllest terms without any silly fir
tation entering into the affair at ALL
You see, she has too much sense to
think that because a young fellow likes
TO take pretty girl out for the evening
he must necessarily be in love with her.
But 1t isn't only her gaiety and good
comradeship that make Mary's charm.
She has that quick understanding and
ready sympathy which bring all the boys
to pour out their troubles In ner ear
when they want cOnidante.
She's quite as good a listener as a
talker. Perhaps she has discovered long
ago that mere man loves 10 talk about
himself when he can find a sympathetic
ear.
Then she never makes herself conspic-
uous in any way, as, for instance, by
overdressing. She knows by instinct
that there's nothing a man dIslikes more

But on this day when the oak tree was
actually in leaf. he flew away without
a backward look Flew off north toward

Billy called to Tommy and together

IT think he has gone!" cried Tommy
when they had watched for his return

wait! Wen fly down into the garden!
That will bring him back-it always
does!' So down into the garden flew
Tommy and Billy, but no saucy Bluey
flew at them. "All right then" said
Billy, lets eat worms. If that don't
bring him back, Wen know he's not COM
ing back!'
So Billy and Tommy started eating. and
as no Bluey drove them away, they ate
and ate till for once in their lives they
had enough This is living" said Billy,
as he polished on his bill, but Tommy
was too full TO answer
