Boston, Oct. lS.--As a result of adver.
Itising for a husband four months ago
Mrs. Viola A. Ling became engaged to a
man who fled from town on the day that
had been named for the wedding, leav-
ing Mrs. Ling waiting at the church. But
this desertion was not without compen-
sation, for the story, published in vari-
GUS newspapers, found its way to Robert
u. Bradley, Moretown, Vt. 1t excited his
interest, caused him to write to her. then
to visit her, finally to marry her, and
last night Mrs. Bradley set off for More
town to join the man whose name she
bears.

ried Mrs. Ling in East Boston last Sat
urday evening The bride, who had been
| living at Ottawa street, Roxbury, had
some packing to do, and many good-bys
to say to friends. But Bradley had bus
iness interests which made it necessary

Four months ago she advertised in
the newspapers for husband. One man
answered. He said he wanted wife who
could cook, and Mrs. Ling invited him to
come to her home for trial feast. He
feasted to his hearts content for two
weeks. Then on the day the two were
to be married, the man departed without
farewell.
The story of the woman's misfortune
was reported in the newspapers. Up in
the little town of Moretown, VT. Robert
Bradley, a widower, read it. He was
mpathetic-and lonely.
So he sent an engagement ring and $50
to Mrs. Ling, telling her that if she
would place her faith in him she would
not be ''left waiting at the church" The
courtship by mail progressed rapidly, and
last Thursday Bradley left his farm and
came to Boston.

he purchased the wedding gown, and he
gave his bride new set of false teeth. |
