Inez Kometz Caribone, a pretty girl, of Paterson, N.J., is the defendant in a suit for absolute divorce begun by her husband, Omar Caribone, with whom she lived only three hours. The guests had not finished tho wedding feast when the brido flitted, leaving only a note saying that she had gone never to return. “ I married you,” she wroto, “ not because I loved you, but because I wanted to be revenged on your former sweetheart, who insulted me, who said I would never got married, and wiio taunted mo that no man would have me. You were going to marry her at the time, and you can marry her now if you like, but I wanted to let her know that I could take any fellow from her if 1 wanted to. Go and marry Julia Mossino now, for she is tho girl who insulted mo at a dance who l you wore her escort, and who said that no man would marry me.”

Caribonc says he remembers the quarrel that Miss Mossino bad with his wife. They were at a ball together, and Miss Kometz stepped on Miss Mossino’s dress. Thc latter grew angry, called Miss Kometz names, and taunted her with not having a beau.

Caribonc was engaged to Miss Mossino at tlie time, and the wedding day was not far away. From that time on Miss Kometz managed to bo in many places where Caribonc was, and thoy soon became fast friends. Tho wedding was postponed, and then Caribone wrote to Miss Mossino that he would not marry her at nil. A few days later Miss Kometz and he wero made husband and wife.

Mr and Mrs Caribono were to have gone to Jersey City for their honeymoon, and in fact rode thither on the train together. On their arrival the bride went into tho women's waiting-room, and disappeared by another door. The ceremony occurred in October, 1900.
