HE SAVED HIS REPUTATION.
I suppose you have heard of the elopement?
No. Who are the parties ? George Emley and Louie Patton ? Why, they have been engaged for several months, and had already gained the con Bent of their parents.
That's all right, bat they have eloped just the name, and what is more, the father of the girl arranged it, and gave the girl fifty pounds on the eve of her departure. I don't understand it.
Plain enough. The marriage was to take place in a month, and it was to be a swell affair ; but the father of the girl met with some reverses, and found it impossible to pay the expenses of a grand wedding. So he got them to elope, thereby saving the expense of a wedding and getting sufficient gratuitous advertising to help him out in his business.
