Mrs. Lillie Devereux Blake. 78, a i suffrage leader, is not expected to Ten years ago when David W. Webb and. pretty Miss Annie Elder secretly planned and gleefully carried out a runaway marriage—to the amazement of their own parents, as well as to the general surprise of their friends and acquaintances—the young bride exacted a promise that they would celebrate the tenth anni versary of their wedding in a manner that would make up for the triok they had played <^n people by their elope ment. So it comes that there will be a “tin wedding” Tuesday evening in the Women’s Clubhouse out at Clarkston. Each -of r he elopers was 20 years old when, without saying a word to any one. they met by appointment and went to the hoem of the Rev. Julian S. Rogers, then the assistant of the Rev. Len G. Broughton, and made de mand that he then and there make them husband^and wife.

There still are Rob ert, aged 2, and William, who was ushered into the world only four months ago. They have been prom ised that they shall attend the next decennial celebration of the Webb elopement, but they are too young just now to go out to parties and cel ebrations.
