Merchants Daughter
George G. Boldt, jr., son of the pro-
prletor of the Waldorf-Astoria hotel,
New York city, said to be one of the
most popular young men of gay Goth
am, was secretly married to Miss Es-
telle Savin of San Diego in Yuma,
Arizona, last Monday afternoon.
Accompanied by his bride and his
friend and con1dante, Howard w,
Throckmo orton, the latter also of New
York city, Boldt came to the Angelus
hotel yesterday afternoon Much ex-
element was created in the hotel cor
ridor when young Boldt registered the
young woman as his wife.
The young couple engaged a suite of
rooms for the afternoon and then spent
the remainder of the day in shopping.
Late in the evening the three left Los
Angeles for parts unknown to local
friends, but it is supposed they are en-
route to New York city, where young
Boldt will introduce his wife from the
golden west.
Strenuous efforts on the part of
young Boldt and his friend Throck-
morton were made to keep the mar
riage a secret. When pinned down to
the fact Throckmorton admitted that
the marriage had taken place and that
the ceremony had been performed by
an old priest in Yuma, Ariz. Throck-
morton refused to discuss the affair
further, emphatically expressing him
self to that effect.
Returns From Hunting Trip
Young Boldt came to Los Angeles
about four weeks ago with Throck-
norton Then the two had just re-
turned from an extensive hunting trip
in Lower California.
Boldt and Throckmorton at that time
remained in Los Angeles a few days
only and then suddenly disappeared.
So far as can be learned, no one here
knew why Boldt left the city so sud
denly, but his return yesterday ac-
companied by his young bride an
swered the question.
Estella Sav.n of Tia. Juana is mar
ried and millionaire from New York
Is now bearing away the beautiful
Castilian girl whose face has been
vivid reminder to the countless thou
sands who have made pilgrimages to
the quaint little border town which
lies to the south of San Diego.
Mecca for Rich
No more will the flashing eyes and
brilliant colored cheeks of the CASTLE
miss cause gilded sons of gay Gotham
to linger about the sleepy shop of Senior
Savin and inquire minutely as to the
value of various pieces of Spanish
lace. Never again will the white man
tilla, a priceless heirloom from old
Madrid, blend with the raven locks of
witching beauty in the dusty store,
famous the world over as a mecca for
rich tourists whose mania for relics
of early days may be satisfied there.
Spectators from foreign parts have
often wondered at the beautiful pair
of Spanish girls who gazed from their
boxes with earger interest at the bull
fights held in the southern town. Es-
tella Savin and her sister have been
the cynosure of all eyes during the
festive times of Tia Juana, and when
poor quivering brute sank beneath
the cruel sword of a Spanish matador
the SaVin girls tossed roses into the
bloody arena.
Envy Of All
Chances of envy followed the grace
full swordsman whose agile form bent
dangerously before the coquettish mods
and dangerous eyes of the handsome
Savin girls.
beautiful women of Southern Califor-
MIA and Old Mexico and when she ad-
vanced to receive her diploma from
the hands of the venerable Father
Ubach at the close of the graduating
exercises of the academy of Our Lady
of Peace in San Diego several years
ago, a buzz of admiration waited
about the scholastic hail.
Father Uhach Is famous as the Padre
Gaspara in Helen Hunt Jackson's
Ramona" 1t was he who married
Ramona in the old chapel at Oldtown
and a tinge of romance appeared inter-
woven as he raised a paternal hand
over the beautiful girl of Spanish blood
who knelt before him.
Shop Is Tourist Favorite
Senior A. Savin was formerly Mexican
consul to the port of San Diego, and
later retired, opening a general mer-
chandise and curio store at Tia Juana.
The trip to the border town which lies
just across the line separating the
United States and Old Mexico is one of
the features that mark the tourists
visit to San Diego, and broad acres of
sagebrush and rickety Spanish houses
form the scenic attractions, not one

journey to Old Mexico.
Many a postal card with the Mexican
stamp has been handed across the
Savin counter by the white, jeweled
hands of Estelle SaVin. and many an
eastern youth has returned in remem-
brance that he had forgotten another
friend in some faraway place.
Remember Girls Chances

Mexican cigars smuggled across the
border. and with the memory of the in
