BRIDE WAS BORN AT SEA

Blank Space Left in Marriage Records Because She Is Real Daughter of Neptune. Redwood City.—A true daughter of Neptune was married in Redwood City recently and there is a blank space on the San Mateo county records to prove it Warren Tilden Quirk, a clerk and a native of Illinois, obtained a license to wed Miss Mabel Marie Fontaine. In the marriage affidavit each of the contracting parties must give his or her native state. “That’s Impossible," said Miss Fontaine when the question was asked her. “It’s somewhere on the briny deep. I was born on a ship between France and America. However, the ship flew an American flag and I am one of her proud citizens.’’ The license was issued with a blank opposite Miss Fontaine’s native state.
