riage was a great surprise to many
society friends of Mr.. Hoffman and
his bride.
The couple. accompanied by Mrs.
Britton Browne. of this city, and
her brother, Holiday Semple, mo-
tored to the Maryland Gretna Green
late Monday. They went first to
the house of the court clerk. H. W.
Lewis, only to find that he was
working late at the office. They
reached Lewis by telephone and told
him to wait for them.
They arrived at the clerks once
shortly after 10 o'clock. Mrs. Var
row gave her age as 2S. while MI
Hoffman, who said he was dl-
vorced four years ago in West
ern State. stated he was 81.
The bridal breakfast was held at
the Ritz-Carlton following their re-
turn to Philadelphia.
Mr. Hoffman said that he met
Mrs. Yarrow. who was divorced
from Walter Kemble Yarrow on
June % last. while he was living
in Washington eight years ago.
The bridegroom is the son OF Mrs.
william F. Hoffman. of the Ro-
! chambeau Apartments. who is at
present out OF town. Mr.. Holtz-
man is engaged in banking in New
York City, where he and the bride
are staying. He used to be in the
real estate business here. ! think
his father was before him.
