.EX.cA0RUS GIRL IS
GOOD WIFE
AFTER MARRIAGE THEY SETTLE
DOWN" AND HE GOES TO WORK
IN COTTON MILL AT $1.25 PER
DAY-OLD FOLKS RECONCILED.

Burlington, VT, May 10.-Gover-
nor Eben S. Draper of Massachusetts
and Mrs. Draper made complete their
reconciliation with their son, P. H.
Bristow Draper, and his wife, who
before her marriage was Queenie San
ford, a chorus girl, when they arrived
here to become guests in the Bristow
Draper home.
Young Draper, who is working as
a hand" in the Queen cotton mills
for s1.25 a day, and his wife were at
the station to meet them and stepped
forward as the train came in. Few
words were spoken, but, though they
could not be overheard, they evident
| ly pleased the young husband and
wife, for when Bristow Draper turn
ed to a carriage. his hands full of
travelling bags, his face was beaming.
ably overjoyed. The four entered the
carriage and were driven to the mod
est flat that young Draper and his
wife occupy.
| Ever since Bristow Draper, after
his engagement with Marjorie Ray,
fashionable young woman of
Franklin, had been broken, married
Queenie Sanford in the Little Church
Around the Corner in New York, he
has toiled as mill hand here. He
is learning the process of cotton
spinning and weaving from start to
finish. Dinner pail in hand, clad as
| a workman, he has toiled for 10
hours day for almost two years. He
| has learned how to card, spin and
weave cotton. as we'll as to repair
the great looms in the mill.
1t was young Diapers sturdiness
and pluck displayed after he had an
gered his father and mother by
clipping with the chorus girl that
first appealed to the parents. And
when they saw how he had Settled
down" and how completely devoted
/
his wife was to him their feelings
turned from disappointment to ad-
miration. Then the coming of a baby
girl into the humble Burlington
home became an additional tie.
1t was while theatrical company
was playing in Boston, in the fall of
1906, that young Draper lost his
heart to Queenie Sanford. When the
company left Boston for New York,
the son of the then lieutenant gov
.ernor of Massachusetts, followed.
Then came the announcement of the
marriage in New York and the flight
to the Pacific coast for the honey
moon.
