Marconigram Matrimony.

"ge across

A boy and girl romance, which it was thought ended ten years azo in consequence of a wedding proposal being lost in the post, promises to end happily after all. It was the use of the wireless system, the Daily News says, that repaired the error of the mails. Mrs. Francea Tompson, a Scottish widow, during her pasa. the Atlantio from Europe to New York, received by Marconigrama proposal of marriage from an old enitor, Mr. F. Macintyre, who is now living at Superior, Wisconsin Mrs. Tompson and Mr. Macintyre wore sweethearta in Scotland, both being residents of Leith, and the youth went to America to seek his fortune. Ten years ago he wrote proposing marriage, but the letter was evidently lost in the post, for Mrs. Tompson did not receive it. Hearing nothing from her old lover, Mre. Tompson married, but Tost her husband a year or so ego, This Christmase she decided to pay a visit to friends and relatione; - and Mr Macintyre, learning of this, lost no time in repeating his proposal of marriago which Mrs. Tompson has accepted.
