ROMANCE AND WEDDING.
AFTER TWENTY-FOUR YEARS.. A romance which might well furnish the scenario of a popular film has just culminated in a Paris wedding. The bridegroom, who passed his fiftieth birthday some years ago, has married his ideal bride. She was not, however, the bride whom ho originally sought. Twenty-four years ago he fell desperately in love with a pretty brunette, and asked her hand in marriage. But he had a rival, and the object of his affections finally informed him that the rival had won. He hid his disappointment in his own heart and did not seek lo find consolation in another romance until recently, when, on a, visit to Cannes, he made the acquaintance of a girl who is just 24 years old. The girl reminded tho man so strongly of his first, love that ho paid assiduous court to her, and finally won her consent to marrv him. In looking on his bride he thought he had found the romance of his youth, for she had the eyes, the nir and the features of the woman of whom he had dreamed for so long. It was only 011 tJie eve of the wedding that, he learned the reason. His lirido was the daughter of the woman he bad originally asked to marry him.
