: WHOEVER TO MARRY
HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW.

Jersey City, N. J., Nov. 20
"These mother-in-law jokes are
pretty poor stuff. I have never been
able to see why a man shouldn't be
able to get along with his mother
in-law. Anyway, I'm going to marry
mine"
That's the way Wilbur B. Broer,
a Brooklyn rug manufacturer, dis
posed of the time-honored wheeze
after obtaining license to marry
Mrs. Kate Schorling, mother of his
first wife, who died six. years ago.
Mrs. Schorling has been widow
since 1907 and Broer has lived in
her home since the death of his
wife.
Il see no reason why the public
should be interested in our affairs
he said, when asked when the mar
riage would take place. If we feel
Ike it, the press will be notified; but
I'm tired of that slapstick stuff about
mothers-in-law."
