A MISSING BRIDEGROOM

WELLINGTON LADY’S EXPERIENCE. A very hitter experience has during tlie past few days fallen to the lot of a Wellington lady, (says the Dominion). Had all gone as arranged, this lady would by now have been married, hut the wedding has not yet taken place, ou account of the very mysterious disappearance of the man to whom she was afifi'ianeed. The ceremony was originally to have been performed on Monday last, hut on that day the prospective bridegroom informed the lady concerned that, owing to the fact that lie had found it impossible to secure the necessary license enabling them to he married, the happy event would have to he postponed until the Tuesday. This was accordingly done, and all the guests who had been invited were informed of the.postponement. At ten o’clock on the following morning, however, the prospective bridegroom paid a call on his lady stating that he would return at noon. At that time, however, there was no sign of him whatsoever, and he has not been heard of since.

Tt appears that the man concerned represented that he was a woolbuyer of no mean financial standing, and that his employers had provided him with a fully furnished house. Subsequent inquiries, however, showed that this was not the case. Tt Avas also ascertained that, despite the fact that the lady had been told that all arrangements for the wedding breakfast had been made, and the necessary motorears ordered, no such arrangements had, in reality, been made. Meanwhile the affair still remains shrouded in mystery.
