Show A ROMANCE ON WHEELS. Two Toung People Make Love on Blcyclei and Are Married In Road Costumes. It is not often that a bride and brido-groom brido-groom appear at the altar rail clad in bicycle costumes to be united for life. That was the case on Tuesday night in Newark, however, when Charles Bader, a well known bicycle rider of that city, and Miss Violet Hervey of Ringoes were married. Mr. Bader last summer spent most of his idle hours on his wheel, and when he had the time took long jaunts through the country. One of his trips led him to Ringoes, a little village hack in the coun-try, coun-try, While in the village he staid at the farm of Mr. Hervey. During his visit he became acquainted with the farmer's daughter, Miss Violet, and fell in lovt, with her. Needless to say, it was not ' long before his wheel bore him toward Ringoes again. From that time until the snow fell Mr. Bader no longer wandered wan-dered aimlessly about the country, but instead his wheel was always pointed either toward Ringoes or from it. Miss Violet learned to ride and became as fond of riding as was Mr. Bader. Before long he gave her a wheel, and from that time they were often on the road. Mr. Hervey liked the vounar wheelman- when he was asked for his daughter's daugh-ter's hand he consented. Tuesday night the young couple wheeled wheel-ed to Newark. The Rev. Mr. Hapwood, the pastor of Calvary church, had been engaged to perform the ceremony and was waiting when the couple dismounted dismount-ed in front of the church door. Miss Hervey waited while Mr. Bader chained the wheels. . Then they entered the church and walked to the pulpit rail. There the ceremony was performed, and they walked out, remounted and rode away on their wedding trip. When they return, they will live in Newark. New York Tribune. |
