Her from a Host Of suitors.

No one is much surprised over the
persistent rumor of the engagement OF
the very lovely Cynthia Roche and the
very. rich Ogden Livingston Mills. 1t
has beer on the tapis, which is polite
way of saying gossiped about, for some
time; in fact, ever since the coming out
party of the Mills twins, Gladys and
Beatrice. about three years ago.
At that time young Mills was still at

see the world. And Mrs. Ogden Mills
said Ogden, Jr., must certainly 90 thru
| the Harvard law school iust-and then,
and then-well, then, 1--WE will see. -
| It's been three years since then, and
prime gossip of the fag end Of the New
port season that Ogden Mills, Jr., is ter
ribly in love with Cynthia Roche.
The only objection three years ago
was youth. In three years Miss Gym
thia has grown up completely, and Og.

best to follow suit. .t...t' - .1..,' rs<
grandson Of millionaires, and the bluest
blood Of the Knickerbockers flowed in
his veins. His grandfather on his
father s side is d. O. Mills, the Califor-
mia millionaire, on his mothers side he
is descended from the Maturin Living
stons, he is a nephew of Mrs Cavendish
Bentinck and Of Mrs. Whitelaw Reid.
When, therefore, he admired ardently
and openly Miss Cynthia Roche, it was
of the greatest interest and even con-
Germ to the parents of many another
debutante.
Everybody knows that Mrs. Ogden
Mills is the most exclusive, so exclusive
that she cut down Mrs. Astor g notable

It is, therefore, something of an honor
It you are young girl and known to
be approved of by her, sufficiently ap-
proved to be invited to the great coun-
try mansion at Stattsburg as mem
ber of the house party to be given short
ly for Prince Louis of Battenberg. Ap-
proved Of in spite of the persistent
gossip that links the name of Cynthia
Roche with the heir and only son of
Ogden Mills.
