New York, Oct 5.-Grace, well named,
daughter OF Samuel Warren. whose hfe
is hidden like violets under their leaves,
and niece of Richard Croker, whose acts
are in the chronicles day by day, was
married in the parsonage Of Mr.. Wasson
at Roslyn L. J., on September q, to
Claude Wanser son of successful mer-
chant. The marriage was, until yester-
dey, the secret of delightful idyl in
three chapters.
Mahasset and Great Neck had no dis
putes except the one that Grace Warren
caused, and il was too serious TO be
thought OF in politics. She was Of Man
hasset, since she lived on the second hill
from the iron bridge over the railroad,
and the stairs made Of plank that serve
as a station there. She was of Great
Neck since her father took and left the
cars there and lived near the lake that
gives a name to one Of Long Island 5
charming landscapes. The young men
OF each place swore that the other should
not have her. Ii was the rivalry OF Troy
and Crete about Helen.
The politicians hardly knew this. They
have not avoided a peril; they have es-
capped il by chance. Claude Wanser is OF
Rosyn.
Grace Warren was fourteen years Old
when the rivalry Of Manhasset and Great
Neck began. That was two years ago
She had taken lessons in music from
Mrs Burchard, daughter-in-law Of the
minister who praised Blaine against
Rum Romanism and Rebellion and
ruined his chances of election TO the
Presidency by that ALTERATION. The boys
of Great Neck and Of Manhasset attend
ed the class and fought afterward for the
privilege of accompanying Grace Warren
to her home. She was only fourteen
years OF age, but Helen was not less
youthful when Troy and Crete exchanged
diplomats and an uitimatum about her.
Grace Warrens brother. Richard, NAM
ed for his uncle, had eloped with the
daughter of Squire Morrell, of Manhasset,
who guarded her like princess in an en-
chanted castle. Grace Warren's sister
Stella had lost her husband in a railway
accident that made OF HIM a variety Of
hero Grace Warrens father was con-
stantly placing himself al the service of
his friends and aiding them amazingly.
Grace Warren had black hair, dark eyes
that radiated happiness and a captivating
voice that it was great fortune TO hear
at vespers in the choir, perfumed with
incense and iris.
At Roslyn. Claude Wanser was the
popular Young man, and there were
young girls OF Great Neck and of Man
hasset who knowing him. were indif-
ferent to the homage OF others. He was
witty amusing. affable. He had the
manners Of a well-bred young man that
old people admire. There was a Paris in
Roslyn for the Helen of Manhasset and
Great Neck.
Claude Wanser came with his parents
to Manhasset in May. They had decided
to live in d cottage there for the summer

Roslyn and the lake had charm that
had not been fattered. Mr.. Wanser'

vicinity for a week; he drove in front OF
the house where Grace Warren was read

and the wheels Of his wagon creaked as

reined in the horses for a moment. He
looked at her and her friend whispered
his name, but she did not raise her eyes
Her book was too interesting.
