A ropos of love affairs and weddings the “ W is tor" of the St. Paul Globe heard of . pretty ittls romance in which two Minna. apolis people were concerned that may interest you. Five years ago William T. Germain. a prosperous young dry goods mnn of Minneapolis, bought a new list. Under the inside band of it he discovered a card, which read “ Florence Grey, Nyeck cu~the-Hudson. N. Y." He used the card for a book mark. Finally, seeing the name so constantly, it began to exercise a peculiar fascination over him. At last he wrote to Miss Florence Grey. telling her how the card came into his possession and expressing a desire to know more of her. In a short time he got an answer. and a very interesting corri‘spon- deuce resulted. It seems that Miss Grey's rents having died. she went into a hat ‘ actcry et Nynck to support herself. in a. spirit of fun she one day wrote hi r neme our card and put it- iiz, ;. has she was working. The correspondence resulted. Finally Mr. ()ermein made up his mind to meet the worm-r. in whom he was becoming so much interested. He had to go to New York on business, and made it convenient to go up to Nyeck. He soon found Miss Gray, and wen more favorably impressed than ever. 'I'hsgood impression was mutual. Soon after be induced Miss Gray to be Mrs. Germain. and brought her back with him to Minneapolis. where, as the story hooks would any, they have lived happily ever since.
