"She Wanted Her Daughter to
Marry a Fashionable Man.
Says Mrs. Jackson.

Despite the statement of his relatives
that his brides parents wanted her to
marry a titled Englishman, Francis
Newton Carpenter, scion of a we'll
known Newark family, a salesman for
a perfumery house, has captured one of
the fairest girls of New York's -Four
Hundred" n is spending his honey
moon in Denver. Mrs. William e.
Hoag, the brides mother, known in
most exclusive New York circles, has
neither forgiven nor forgotten, inc the
romantic elopement of the couple Is
said to have caused a GOODNESS be-
tween Mrs. Hoag and her brother, who
assisted at the nuptials.
New York society is agape over he
eloptulent. A yea ago Miss Adeline
Knowlton Hoag, daughter of DR.. Will
lam e. Eoag, whose aristocratic line
age and wealth place him high in
fashionable life, was a school girl. She
had known Carpenter ever since she
could remember, almost, and her pa
rents welcomed him in their house
hold. When he told DIR. and Mrs. Hoag
last summer that he wanted to marry
their daughter, they plainly told him
that it was out of the question because
Miss Adeline was destined to marry
a fashionable mar of wealth, perhaps
q title, they said.
Further, Mrs. Hoag told her daugh-
ter's sutton that Adeline could never
be happy with a man of thirty-two
who had risen no higher than to be-
come a perfume drummer. Carpenter
persisted, saying hat he was well able

and Mrs. Hoag took her daughter to
task, exacting a promise that she
would entertain Carpenters suit no
further.
Miss Hoag continued to go to the
fashionable school, and met her sweet
heart often on her way. In May Mrs.
Hoag went to her Plattsburg summer
home. While there she received an
anonymous letter telling of plans for
an elopement. Fastening back to New
York, she confronted her daughter with
the missive. Miss Hoag confessed, and
a stormy scene followed.

back to Plattsburg. But the daughter
had other plans than giving up her
b%etrothed.
The telephone bell rang one day, and
after answering the call, Miss Hoag
turned to her sister and said: Mother
wants me to come to Plattsburg at
once"
The trap was made ready and Miss
Hoag departed, ostensibly for the Grand
Central depot, but in reality to meet her
sweetheart. An uncle, Frederick C.
billiard. was taken into the couples
confidence, and the three sought out
the Rev. Alfred Duane Pell, pastor of
the Church of the Resurrection, where
Miss Hoag and Carpenter were mar
ried. The bride and bridegroom i'm
mediately left for Deal Beach, on their
honeymoon, and after spending two
weeks there went to Denver.
Mr.. Carpenter lives at 2 Lombardy
street, this city. Mrs. Oliver Jackson,
of 81 Clinton avenue, is his sister. Mrs.
Jackson was indignant today at the
published reports of the romance, and
at the attitude of Mrs. Hoag, who, she
declared. had long been intimate with
the family.
