MAbELLE AND COREY
ARE OFF FOR
FRANCE
The Marriage Is the Talk of
Newport 400
Shocked.
WHAT IF THEIR SHIP
SHOULD BE WRECKED

New York, May 15.-Mabel Gil
man in becoming Mrs. VIM. Ellis
Corey, has doubtless satisfied her
highest ambition. At least for a
while. AS the bride of the president
of the steel trust she has much that
money will buy. But has she every
thing? Only time will tell
Up to the present time, in the taint-
ed romance of the former singer Of
The Mocking Bird" and the Pitts
burg multi-milliOnaire, money has
played a pretty heavy part. But can
1t do everything? VIII it open the
doors of the socially exclusive? Will
the actress be admitted within the
sacred precincts of the limited 400?
VIII money do this for her? 1t has
failed for any of the other musical
condolences who have married rich
men, and even the few who have
welded men with high social posi-
tions have not been received by the
ultra-ultras Of New York and New
port.
Mabel Gilman, it is now clear, has
come to think that dollars, mountain
high, can accomplish much, but IL
the second Mrs. Corey is socially am
bilious she may at last discover that
other requisites than colossal wealth
are necessary to gain admittance to
the exclusive set Of this city Gould
millions did not avail Katherine
Clemmons, the actress; nor did
wealth Minnie Ashley, who married
into the Astor family.
1t may be that the Coreys, despite
the fact that they have taken a mag
nificent residence in the midst Of
"Millionaires' Mile" will be satisfied
with the Waldorf set. Riches are
always an open sesame into this gay
circle. The beauty of the women,
their toilettes and jewels are the
standards by which they are meas
ured. Though the 400 may be ridi-
culed by the rest of the world. refine
ment and cultivation are requisites as
we'll as wealth.
Thus far money has done much to
crafty the longings and ambitions Of
Mabel Gilman. 1t easily secured a
divorce for the man she wished TO
marry. The protesting voices Of
Corey's scandalized relatives have
also been stilled.
Money has been powerful 10 shield
Mabel Gilman at the exclusive
Gotham hotel where she was staying
previous to her marriage. In the
luxurious suite, No. sos, that she
occupied with her mother. Mrs. Jen-
nette Gilman, she was protected in
every way from the vulgar curiosity
OF the public, Detectives, pages, pOr-
ters and bell boys swarmed the halls
and corridors that no curious intruder
could get a glimpse az the prospective
bride of VIM. h. Corey.
The Telephone girls, too, were un-
der strict orders to answer no ring
unless the steel magnate was at the
other end OF the wire. Cards and
notes to the actress were closely
scrutinized. When she went for a
drive Gordon Of hotel employees sur
rounded here.
The rooms at the Gotham where
Miss Gilman spent so much Of her
time with Corey were always filled
with fresh and costly flowers. They
