FIND LOVE AT FIRST TOUCH

Sightless Teacher and Pupil’s Romance to Result In Wedding— Character Attracted. New York.—The same hands that guided his own over raised letters in a Brooklyn library will soon be the hand of William Gooshaw’s wife, it was said the other day apropos of the romance of two sightless lovers. Miss Beryl Clarke, with big brown eyes that don’t in the least betray blindness, admits the truth of the statement, and that it was love from the first meeting. Miss Clarke is in charge of the school for the blind at the Pacific branch of the Brooklyn circulating library, and she will wed William ~-N. Gooshaw Thanksgiving day. While the pupil pored over books with raised letters the teacher sat at his elbow, and Dan Cupid succeeded in clasping the hands of the two. “I was attracted to Mr. Gooshaw," she said, “by his personality, his charcter and intellect. These are far more important than looks.”
