THE BROKEN ENGAGEMENT.
BERKELEY, August 11-This is
story of love IS disillusionment, but
there are no broken hearts involved.
The dramatis personae are two in num-
Der, with the stern, forbidding figure
of an irate parent in the background.
The principals in this little comedy of
real life are Miss Genevieve Dowsett,
Hawaiian belle, as popular in Berke-
ley as she is in Honolulu, and Prentiss
Gray, president of the associated
students of the University of Cali
fornia, football player and once hero
at large.
Both have been dreaming young
love IS dream and the solitaire ring
that Miss Dowsett had worn up to yes
terday on the third finger of her left
hand was the envy and admiration of
all her girl chums. But the ring has
vanished and when the Hawaiian
beauty returned it to her lover she is
reported to have said these words:
"When I love again. wish to love
a man-not a cad.
It was generally made known in Uni
versity circles yesterday that Prentiss
Gray had broken his engagement with
Miss Dowsett because of his wealthy
fathers threat-that if he persisted in
marrying the young lady he would have
to shift for himself in life.
Papa Gray is one of Oakland IS CAPT
talists, and he did not look with favor
upon the enga cement of his son to
Miss Dowsett, in spite of theN fact that
only last summer the young lady saved
the youth from drowning in the waters
of a California summer resort. The |
incident which ultimately led
to the engagement that has just been
broken did not appeal to the Oakland |
lumber magnate. He issued stern de-
cree that the engagement must be |
broken forthwith, and his obedient son
repaired to the house of his fancee to
explain the situation.
The explanations the young lover
offered were not satisfactory to the |
high-spirited girl. Bitter recrimina i
tions are said to have followed his |
demand that he be released from the
embarrassing situation in which me |
found himself But when she realized |
that her idol had only feet of clay |
after all it is understood that she told |
him she was glad she had discovered
the fact before she went to the altar
with him, and after an angry scene
she is said to. have shown Gray the |
door with the words quoted above. And
this is the tale that is the talk OF
