The New York American says that in
view Of the many exciting episodes in
which she has been compelled to figure.
1t is the wish of Mrs. Hanna to have her
marriage celebrated as quietly as posi-
bic. From Cincinnati, however. comes
the statement that the wedding will be

we will not be married next week.
said Mr.. Stallo. when seen at the Wal
dorf-Astoria last night. but the wedding
viii be soon. Tha is all | can say now.
Really. | don't know all the details

pectivc bridegroom.
Rumor has had Mrs. Hanna engaged to
several men. According to ono story cur
rent last year. she was to marry an Eng
lish nohlcman.
In reply to this she said: II am not

Edmund Stale. lie is a widowor with
two small daughters, young. handsome,
rich. and prominent in tho financial
world. He is an Apollo in appearance,
the two making a remarkably handsome
couple.
Rumors that Mr.. Mcdonald was opposed
to the marriage of Mr.. Stallo to the
charming widow were positively set at
fcst yesterday by an intimate friend Of
Mr.. Stallo and the Mcponalds.
The relations of the two mon are of
the fricndlicst. IT never occurred to Mr..
Mcdonald to offer Hdvic" to his son-in-
law IN the matter of "a second marriage"
was the statement made.

no one VIII say at present. Although
small II would be a charming place for
a home wedding.
Mrs. Guy $ snyder, Mrs. Hanna's sis
ter, who lives in Cleveland. is unable to
say whether the wedding will take place
there or here. 1t follows that the two
vitality Interested, have kept their own
counsel.
Mr.. stallo has large lumber interests
ara IS Il very wealthy man and was one
OF the rc-organiZcrs of the Sevcnth M
tlonal bank after its failure two years
ago.
Little is known of the romance which
led to the engagement Of Mrs. Hauna
ana Mr.. Stallo. Their names were not
coupled until n few months ago. and
no ono but themselves seems to know
how they met. and they are not tell
ing. The prospective bridegroom, him
Solf is a past master in the art Of an
SWcring personal questions without
telling anything he does not choose to
tell. He gives the impression that he
is ~frankness personihcd.

when speaking Of his approaching
marriage, whether a day. a week a
month or a year. and he becomes phil
osophical. remarks that everything is
comparative in this world: but as to
what soon means to a prospective
bridcgroom-"Well, men differ. To no
two would the word mean the same"
Thus does he fence. his brilliant black
eyes rcvcaling.h his delight in the fact
he is entire MASTER of the situation.
Clever as Mrs. Hanna proved herself
when she Outwitted Dan Hanna and
took her children to Europe in def
anCe of a court order, il is easy to
predict that in her second choice she
will have a husband who is fully her
equal as "A s~trategist and a diplomatist.
Mr.. Stallo's father, by the way, who
died three years ago in Rome, was n
lawyer Of prominence both in the East
and the West. and was considered an
authority on international law.
Although Mr., Stallo's native city is
Cincinnati. he considers himself Il New
Yorker and is so considered by his
associates in the financial world. He is
here the greater part of his time. His
trips to Ohio are chiefly to see his
children, who, with his consent. have
been adopted by their grandparents.
