Robinson was at his place Of resi-

He lives next door to Mrs. Anna Nc

was after s O'Clock in the morning.
Then lady came, she made several
efforts and met with better success
than had done. The excuse given
by Rev. DR.. Moss was that he had
been up iate the night before and for
tho first time in a year he had slept
beyond his usual time for arising.
Be that as 1t may, the joke was on
him.

YOUR WEDDING DAY
And the Famous Men and Women WI,
Have Shared 1t.
BY MARY MARSHALL,

April 11-Henry Ford and Clara ].
Bryant. Marquis de Lafayette and
Adrienne de NoaiIIe..
Two men whose names are we'll
known to all Americans stand out on
the wedding calendar for April IL.
Henry Ford, the well-known automo-
bile manufacturer and pacificist, was
married to Clara ]. Bryant, of Green
field, Mich. his own native town, Just
twenty-nine years ago today. At the
time Mr.. Ford was 25 years of age and
had given little promise that he would
one day be counted among the best
known men of his country. The other
marriage of the day was that of the
friend of the Americans at the time of
the Revolution, the Marquis de Lafay-
ette.
Marquis de Lafayette wrote to a friend
During the thirty-three years OF a union
In which her tenderness. her goodness,
the elevation, the delicacy. the generosity
OF her soul charmed, embellished and
honored my life, 1 felt so accustomed to
all that she was to me that I did not
distinguish it from my own existence.
She was Il years old and 16 when her
heart merged itself into all that interest
ed me. I believed that loved her, that
needed her: but 1t was only in losing
self remained for the rest OF life that
seemed given UP to so many distractions
and for which. nevertheless neither hap
piness nor comfort Is any longer possible
Although I can say that she was attached
to me by the most passionate affection,
never have I perceived in her the slight
est shade Of exaction of discomfort"
Nothing could give the story of Lafay-
cites married life better than these words

orphan. and although the father of Mile
Adrienne de Noailles was much impressed
by his money. her mother, who was a
very pious and fond mother, felt that a
rich son-in-law could not bring happiness
to her H-year-old daughter. However,
an engagement was arranged and the
marriage took place April II, 1774. The
young bride was beautiful and decidedly
sympathetic, and gave her husband ideal
companionship. In return, although he
had been brought UP in the corrupt court
of Louis XIV, where standards Of mar
riage were extremely low, the young mar
quis fixed all his devotion on his wife.
Their married life was absolutely ideal,
The Marquise de Lafayette's health was
much impaired because she insisted on
sharing her husbands Imprisonment at
the hands Of the Prussians and Austrians
for three or four years. She passed sew
erdl years OF lnVanolsm Just before she
died In the autumn Of 1887 she said to her
husband: "Je vous fus done une douce
compagne, en- bien! Benissez moir'-"I
have been a tender companion to you.
Then give me your blessingr" Lafayette
had these words engraved on a gold
medallion containing her portrait. and he
wore 1t always after her death about his
neck. Every morning before he left his
room he contemplated 1t silently for a
few moments as a preparation for the
day, and on the anniversary of her death
he always retired to dwell alone with her
memories.

There was once very pretty girl just
breaking into the business In one of our
companies. I don't want to say which
one or give her real name. so let's just
call her Rose She looked like one-one
OF these little dark red Jack roses that
smell SO sweet
to us from the Middle West. / remem-
ber that the day she applied at the
studio for work our director told her
there was nothing at present. Standing
with US was one of our best actors. He
had played in some Of the Biograph pro-
ductions, and WAS a Russian, / fancy,
wonderfully clever in his work. but very
absorbed and reticent. He gave the girl
one sweeping look that took in every de-
tail Of her appearance. and spoke to ou.
director in her behalf. Rose was engag-
ed as an extra. but made herself so
agreeable and adaptable that she very
speedily was given small parts.
Mother had liked her from the first.
She told me she thought 1t was a shame
the way W had Rose completely dazzled
by his personality.
THE child worships the very ground he
treads on, and there must be ten years
between them. I'm hoping she doesn't
make a fool of herself over him.
I used to see her watching them specu-
Iatively out of the corner Of her eye. and
I knew that she gave Mr.. V some point
ed advice. After a few months OF the
usual studio courtship Rose told US that
they were engaged to be married, and
We would see her sitting, between the
taking of pictures. embroidering little
dainty things for her wedding OUTFIT. and
humming happily to herself. Then when
we went back to New York Mr.. V got
in with his regular crowd OF old friends
here. and everyone knew that he was be-
witched by one of our loveliest leading
actresses.
Mother and I were alone in the hotel
when Roses name was sent up to us.

When I came back. mother was at the
telephone, calling up Mr.. v in her
cheeriest, bantering way.
"Ah you needn't worry about It at all,

for you. Rose is here with me, and
you'll both have dinner with US after
