deliok, the Contra1to of New York

From the New York World.

From the New York World.
The story so loften circulated and so
often denied, that John H Flagler, the
clubman, yachtsman and many times
millionaire, was about to marry q beau
tiful and bewitching songstress who for
a long time had enjoyed a wide popularity
in New York society circles, appears,
after all, to be true. From those in the
best possible position to know the facts in
the case the story yesterday received I'M
qualified confirmation.
The name of the singer on whom Mr.
Flagler has set his heart is Alice Man
delick. For nearly three years she has
been the leading contralto at Ascension
church, Fifth avenue and Tenth street
She is Y years old, tall, willowy bru-
nette, with large, speaking gray eyes, and
a delightful play of expression which at
tracts and holds the attention of those
with whom she is brought in contact.
With her mother who is still less than
40 years old, she lives In tastefully fur
nished fat at No 1872 West Twelfth
street
The former admitted the engagement.
and said that Mr.. Flagler first met Miss
Mandelick at dinner party given by
mutual friend. This was little more than
year ago. Probably Miss Mandelick
there and then captured his heart. Ger
meeting until now Mr.. Flagler has been
devoted in his attentions to her. In the
society concerts at which she profess
sionaly appeared Mr.. Flagler was her
constant attendant, and for nearly twelve
months he has occupied a pew in the
Ascension church He called at the Man
delick fat four or five times each week
and beautiful flowers sent by him daily
lent life and color to Miss Mandelickjs
rooms
Every one who knew them waited for
the probable result and no one was sur
prised when, ABOUT the middle of last Oc-
tober, Miss Mandelick began to wear a
row of diamonds and sapphires on the
engagement finger of her left hand. Even
then the report of the oetrothal was not
positively confirmed by either Miss Man
dellck or MIR. Flagler, until about three
week ago, when they attended a musicale
given by Miss Jeanette MacClanahan at
her home, No PAS West Fourteenth street
There the subject was discussed in
"asides' without any contradiction from
the contracting parties
The date for the marriage has not been
definitely settled, but in all probability
Miss Mandelick will become Mrs. Flagler
at the end Of April or early in June. Miss
Mandelick received her professional train
ing at the National Conservatory of
Music, under Nine. Frida de Gebele Ash
loEtu. Wnen NINE. AShforth left the
conservatory Miss Mandelick followed
her, and remained her pupil until the
term OF instruction was finished. She is
New York girl, and believes that this
city can furnish musical teaching equal
to any that can be found in Europe. but
nevertheless will, after her marriage. 90
