MET HERE TO BE MARRIED.
Not Because They Favored the City,
but to Save Money.
Walter F. Austin, Jr., of New York city, and Miss Eva Belle Tomkins of San Francisco, met at the Baltimore hotel Friday and were married yesterday by the Rev. Hampden S. Church. The bride and groom will leave here today for New York, where Mr. Austin is connected with the National Alumni Publishing Company.
"Nothing but an old childhood affair," said Mr. Austin yesterday. "We'd known each other since we were children. I didn't want to go clear to Frisco and she didn't want to bring her parents all the way to New York, so we decided to meet here yesterday and get married today. Her father and mother came along and I brought my father. No elopement, no romance at all. Just a time, money and trouble saving proposition."
