Crepe & Crabb on
Secret Marriages

ffT SEE by the papers," said
:" Cecil Crepe, "that a mem-
- Der Of the New York
Legislature has proposed a bill to
stop secret marriages."
"Why does he want to do
that?" inquiries Cyrus Crabb.
"In the first place." says Cecil,
'there's too many married
couples running around In dis
guise.
"In the second place It's more
risky than betting on . horse
race. When you marry a girl on
ths spur Of a moment without
studying her past performances
you may be stalking all you have
on q Ally that won't even place"
"That may be true" agrees
Cyrus, but how are they going
10 stop these secret marriages ?"
The bill requires three days
reflection before marrying. They
figure that the girls couldn't keep
Il q secret that long"
"That's fair enough" says
Cyrus. after waiting three
years for q man to propose
girl shouldn't mind waiting three
days for license"
'Tf they have to wait three
days." continues Mr.. Crepe,
"some Of the girls are going to
be out Of luck. When a man has
three days to think 1t over he is
likely to change his mind.
Few marriages are kept
secret In New York because the
neighbors can hear the rolling
pins flying and the dishes break
Ing three blocks away"
"Why do they call secret mar
riages secret, anyway" inquiries
Cyrus.
because after the first year
most husbands don't seem to
know why they ever got mar
ried," says Cecil.
"Are you ever going to get
married, Mr.. Crepe?"
"Ah," says Cecil that's a
secret"

will be able to repeat. His wife
takes boarders at their pleasant
home In Washington Heights.
B. Invests his money In
chicken farms. He has always
believed there 10 . lot Of money
IN raising chickens, probably be-
cause nobody has ever got any
out Of 1t. When his chicken
farm fails he always has . good
excuse to start another one In .
different locality.
c. Gets rid Of his excess in
erement by following the horses.
He Is a living proof Of the old
saying that the only people who
make money following the horses
are the cab drivers. He picked
= winner four years ago and
since then has been looked upon
as a wise picker.
D. Spends his money by play
Ing poker. He claims that this
keeps him young, as he has to
have some business proposition
that keeps his blood circulating.
1t Is generally possible to lend
him money, but he is firm In the
belief that his investments will
some time pan out we'll.
E. Invests his money In oil
wells and has followed this sys-
tenn since the oil craze started
three or four years ago. He has
purchased stock in many bloom
srs, but believes that he can't
pick losers all the time and so
he keeps investing and will be
very rich some day, perhaps. .
F. For several years has in
vested his change in an invention
that he has in hand to prevent
"busy numbers" on telephones.
Although he has tackled one Of
the hardest inventions in the
world and has worked nine years
and sunk his money in it, he still
has hopes.
@. Puts all his money In gin
seng gardens. He long has
known there Is q tremendous de-
mand for this medicinal root, es-
pecially among the Chinese. He
has experimented with his time
and money for twelve years and
hopes to begin production next
year-always next year.
H. Sends all his money to
Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico and
other points where popular lot
teries flourish. He has concrete
proof that many persons have
won tremendous fortunes by this
route and several times he has
