MR.. AND MRS. MALLIsTER R.

A Lively Meeting Between the Hus-
band and Mrs McAllistsr's Brothers.
The announcement that Mr.. and Mrs.
Hayward Hall MoAllister are enjoying a
belated honeymoon has brought out an-
other feature Of the social sensation that
has been interesting New York aud Savan-
nah society for the last two weeks.
The latest is the story OF a lively little
meeting between young McAllister and
| Mrs McAllister's brothers at the Calumet
Club in New York few days ago. The
story Of the affair and the incidents that
led up to it, interviewer with q little ro-
nance Of the secret marriage, is told by
friend of McAllister's through the New
| York Sun:
Hayward and Miss Germany had been
engaged for some time. Hayward expected
| plenty of money from his grandfather, and
the marriage took place on the strength of
the expectations. Unfortunately, the old
man left the young man nothing. As Hey
ward had no money of his own, and was
convinced that his father would object TO
supporting him and his wife, too, secrecy
was decided upon. The young woman
| agreed to this, and. 1t is said, would have
been willing to keep the marriage a secret
| IL it had not been for her brothers. and
wellNmeaning, but somewhat hasty friend.
The brothers not only insisted upon making
| the marriage public immediately, but also de-
manded that the couple should live together.
they wanted them to begin housekeeping
in this city on Mrs. McAllister's income,
which is said to be about $1,000 year.
THE friend Of the wife got up a little con-
spiracy which he thought would bring
about the desired arrangement very nicely,
but which came near knocking everything
over. He suggested to McAllister that he
would be pleased to meet him at dinner at
the Calumet Club last Wednesday night.
McAllister is a member of the club. He
said he would be there. He was rather
surprised to find the two brothers of his
wife there ALSO as the guests Of his host.
The subject of going to housekeeping was
brought up in a way which angered Nc
Allister, and he refused to assent The
Germany brothers. being GeorGians, said
things in heat, and McAllister. who has a
temper OF his own, replied with great cold
ness. The result was that IL it had not
been for the efforts of the host, some of the
club billiard cues might have been broken.
Quiet had just been restored when word
was brought by a servant that a lady
wished to see all the parties concerned. She
was In a cab In front of the club and proved
to be young Mrs. McAllister. Her arrival
was another part OF the hosts programme,
it is said, but the interview which resulted
was not Of the character desired, and did
not end amicably."
Lawyer Gallup Is evidently getting tired
of being interviewed about the marriage.
When asked about the truth Of the rumor
that divorce proceedings will be instituted,
he said:
~ know OF no divorce proceedings il such
are contemplated. The marriage is bona
fide, but l am informed that the young
people will remain apart just as IL they had
never been married. Mr. McAllister is the
only person who can explain the situation
further. l have no desire TO say anything
more, and am not authorized to do so. AS
for the statement that Mrs. Ward McAllis-
ter and her daughter knew of Heyward's
marriage a year before Ward heard of it
think that is probably untrue"
do you know why they have decided to
live apartn
That is something for Mr.. McAllister
himself 10 explain
Lawyer Short, who told the picturesque
story OF the devotion which he said exists
between young McAllister and his wife,
seems, according to interviews, not only
surprised but chagrined at the disclosures
made by McAllister through his attorney.
To a reporter of the Times Mr.. Short said /:
II do not care to discuss the marital rela-
lions of Hayward McAllister and wife. It
does seem to me that the public has been
sufficiently amused with his affair. Less
than ten days ago Mrs. McAllister ex-
discussion which would follow the an
nouncement 1t was her hope that it would
be short lived. She is not IN the city, and
l don't care to say where she is, for she has
been annoyed too much already. 1t was
my understanding with Mr.. Gallup
that there was to be an end to all this talk
and let all this annoying discussion of a
purely personal matter die out"
"Is 1t true that there will be proceeding
for divorce, aud il so, by which Of the par
ties will it be institutedp
IF know nothing about the private inten~
lions of either of them. There is no little
lack of truth in much that has been said
about this matter, and this attempt to
fathom and analyze the feelings. motives,
and future intentions Of MoAllister and his
wife has not been, by any means, a vera
cious success"
