THE “KISSLESS BRIDE”

Mrs. Virginia Reeves Harris Warner, known as the “kissless bride.’ is having no particular trouble annuling her secret marriage to the youth who told her that “he pitied married people who had children," and that he didn’t care for her any more. Warner visited his young bride, who was still known as Miss Harris, several times after their marriage, but for fear somebody would find they were married they did not even kiss, but when she was willing to live with him on $l5O a month she says he refused to allow her to do so. When he admitted that he did not ckre for her Miss Harris told her parents and the untying of the knot began. The bride is popular in society in both Washington and Philadelphia, being the stepdaughter of Commander Archibald L. Parsons, of the Philadelphia navy yard.
