TO BE THE BRIDE?

YOUNG WOMAN’S HASTY TRIP.

CABLED MARRIAGE INVITATION DASH TO CATCH LINER. [By Telegraph.—Press Association] AUCKLAND, Dec. 13.

: “Oh! those reporters!” said Miss Milliccnt Fisher, of Auckland, when questioned on the arrival of the Monterey to-day concerning Saturday’s Sydney cable iu which she- was the central figure in the dash to catch tho Tasman liner to take advantage of “a cabled invitation to marry an Auckland businessman.” “That’s quite enough!” said Miss Fisher, who is young, N attractive and reticent. She declined to announce tho name of the businessman concerned. She admitted it had been quite a rush to catch the ship. She had been holidaying some time in Australia, and had left Melbourne for Sydney on tho Manoora, the captain of which, because of the cable she had received, speeded up the vessel to reach Sydney with half an hour to spare.

Miss Fisher was among the first passengers to leave the ship in Auckland, and in the Customs shed she was joined by a group of waiting friends, but of the man who might have looked the male lead in this romantic story there was no sign.
