had become the wife of Bernard Il. Ken
nedy. the Coachman employed by her
incle, Warren w. Phillips, whose ward
she has been for many years.
The marriage, besides surprising So
ciety. has the effect of sending the
Phillips family into retirement, the
beautiful home at the corner Of Hum

ID and gloomy as II house of death.
Some say that the family already re-
gard Mrs. Kennedy as one who has
gone before but as the family will see

the missing, the report cannot be veri-
fed or disproved.

that q member Of the family caught tine
good looking Coachman kissing Miss
Aduie. The result was a scene, and
Mr.. Phillips is said to have notified the
young man that he was no longer needed
about the place, when he was thunder
struck by the announcement from his
niece that she intended TO marry Bar

Mr.. Phillips is understood to have op-
posed the match as eloquently as he

further active opposition.
But there was another obstruction tt
the match. In wedding Kennedy Miss
Phillips not only married out of hel

he wanted 10 be married in the churcf
of his fathers, she consented to have Il
