MARRIED IN BATHING SUITS
Ceremony Certainly Saved Bride and
Groom Considerable Expense in
Wedding Finery.

The funniest wedding 1 ever saw
was when camping last summer, writes
a correspondent of the Chicago Trib-
u1e. A girl friend and her father
were there and she met young man
whom she grew fond of in short
time. One night he asked her father
for her hand, but father objected be-
cause of the short acquaintance. The
next morning the couple met and
planned to elOpe, but somehow father
"got WISE" so this was spoiled. When
swimming that afternoon they met
again and the girl happened to men
ton that her father had gone to the
village and would not return until eve
ming. The boy said: 'This is our
time" A minister was on the shore
and they went to him and asked to be
married at once. The ceremony was
performed on the beach, the couple
attired in their bathing suits.
