.PLATTSBURG R0MANCES
New Affair Sets Record for
Speed-Tennis Match

Plattsburg. July S.-From three
places in Massachusetts this camp has
been supplied with romances, the last
being a Worcester wedding about a
week ago. but for short acquaintance
before marriage J. w. Guard, a band
clerk. of the 9th Company, New York
regiment, holds the record.
Guard was among the Is designated
for the aviation course at the Massachu
setts Institute of Technology on Fri
day and 1t was the fact that he will de-
part from here that caused him to let
romance become public. 1t is Of inter-
est to nearly all members Of the camp
as the bride has gained the reputation
of being the prettiest brunette yet seen
in Plattsburgh.
Guard heard of the young women and
visited a pharmacy where she is en-
ployed at the soda counter. He made
this visit on Sunday last and it is now
recalled that he fingered long over a
couple of chocolates. but the lingering
resulted in an engagement for that
evening which included in Guards own
car, a trip along the fringe of the
Adirondacks.
On Wednesday morning Guard called
at the young woman's house. it being
a holiday. and they started north TO see
something of Canada. but decided to
stop off at Rouses Point for luncheon,
and while there the couple decided it
would be just the place for mar
riage. A French priest made them man
and wife Mrs. Guard has since been
waiting on the boys at the soda foun-
tain. but only to keep the fact Of her
marriage secret. But now that her
husband is going to school at Cam
bridge she will go along and board
there while he studies.
