« A BOMANTIO AFFAIR AT OHIBWIOK. A correspondent writes to a contemporary : — A very romantic incident is reported from Chiswick, from which it appears that two years ago the wife of an hotelkeeper resident in that part of the metropolis, and mother of four young children, suddenly disappeared from her home, and about the same time a gentleman of well-to-do circumstanoes, and believed to have become acquainted with the landlady over the hotel bar, was missing also, it being surmised, whioh afterwards proved to be true, that they had eloped together. The husband, finding that his fair partner did not return, sought a divoroe from his faithless spouse, and succeeded in obtaining the usual decree nisi. After the lapse of two years, during which interval the gentleman died, leaving the runaway wife his fortune, by will, it is said, of £14,000, she. revisits her husband, with her old love returned, and the money to recommend her, and asks his forgiveness for her past misconduct, which he grants, and receives her back into her former home, the barrier to their residing together, owing to the legal proceedings taken after her hasty departure, being only surmounted by remarriage.
