Chicago Girl of Fifteen Marries Man of Seventy-Four.

At Crown Point Tuesday afternoon a license was granted to Sebastian Carroll Bra'ganza de la Coralla, 74 years of age, and Miss Ludvicka Ginetis, who will be 16 in November. The couple ware married while in Crown Point The marriage was the result of an advertisement placed in The Chicago Herald on June 3rd by the mother of Ludvicka. It asked for the girl a good, wealthy, educated husband, one who understands the truth. It stated that the mother and her daughter vypuld wait at Sheridan road and Grace street at 5 o’clock in the afternoon for the “lucky” husband. Several passed in review and others called by telephone to the home of Ludvicka but none had the proper jingle and the days and weeks passed and poor Ludvicka went unmarried. Recently, however, Sebastian, etc., de la Coralla, who is a Spanish grandee and lives at Port Byron, 111., found a copy of the paper containing the advertising, which shows that the effect of advertising is lasting. He hunted up Ludvicka and her mother and the terms of the marriage were agreed upon. The fact that Coralla, was 74 years of age and had been married and divorced within the past year did not bother her parents, for he had the “jingle,” even his bones jingled. Father and mother Ginetis were very happy as they saw their 15-year-old daughter taken away to his castle near Port Byron, for, they said, he is a Spanish grandee, of noble lineage, owns an estate at Seville and had an honor medal and a pension from the Spanish government. Ludvicka has had a commercial education and cqn cook and sew. Poor Ludvicka.
