THE STRANGE WEDDING. =
First news Of the domestic de-
bacie came when young 'sanborn
LETT the fashionable Buckminster
Hotel In this city and went to
his mothers estate, "Aigre-
mont" IN Winchester, and stimuli
taneousfy the bride disappeared.
The young man declined to dis
cuss the broken romance. but his
attorney. John p. Feeney. con-
fir1ned the report that they had
: separated. but refused to go fur
! ther into It.
Investigation developed that
the wedding. which was so no.
table . social event. possessed
, many extraordinary features
which the very brilliance of the
setting dimmed at the time. The
bride is the daughter Of DR.. and
Mrs. Edward Montgomery, the
former a distinguished dentist

a. Jack Sanborn separated from
the dentists daughter. Neither
Of the brides parents were at the
wedding OF the young couple.
HONORS GO BEGGING.
Reports had 1t that a mysteri-
Gus quarrel developed between
Jack and Eleanor a week before
the wedding and this was con-
firmed by friends Of both persons.
Ruth Kimber of Cambridge, q
bridesmaid, asserted that she had
never even seen the bride until
the ceremony. adding:
I thought It strange that I
should be honored by a girl I
had never met, but Jacks sister,
Helen, said she had been request
ed to name one bridesmaid. and
I accepted for her sake.
1T understand that some Of the
brides friends refused to be
bridesmaids. for what reason
cannot tell. But even before the
wedding I heard reports OF a
quarrel. We all feel sorry for
Jack and think he has been hurt
deeply by this trouble"
