paired at once to the home of Justice
STEPHENS. 2319 Ocean View avenue, for

and Johnston reached the home of the
Justice a few minutes after the deputy

HELEN MALONEY
IN SECLUSI0N
YOUNG WOMAN TO REJ0IN HER
HUSBAND
Daughter of Wealthy Philadelphia
Whose Matrimonial Ventures Have
Startled Society VIII Be Recon-
ciIed to First Spouse

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. .3.-It has
just been announced that the reason
the proceedings for the annulment of
the Mameroneck marriage which had
been brought by Helen Maloney, who
was secretly married to Arthur H. Os-
borne nearly two years ago, have been
stopped is because of the desire of her
parents that she take her position as
the wife of the young broker and con-
slider the elopement with Samuel Clark
son, a young Englishman, as a closed
incident.
The couple had decided to remarry
after the annulment proceedings had
been completed, but the father of the
young woman decided 1t would be a
mistake.
Trouble also was experienced with
the Catholic church authorities, the
officials at Rome refusing to allow a
second marriage to be entered into by
either Miss Maloney or Osborne.
Miss Maloney has been living in close
retirement, but it Is expected that after
she and Osborne are reunited she will
again enter society.
