DIVORCED, REWEDS
ON $4,000 WAGER
William A. Curran Wins Bet
In 172 Hours, and Is Off
on Honeymoon.

NEW YORK. Nov THAT William
Andre2s Curran, a salesman of Phila-
delphia, who after getting a divorce last
Monday from Mrs. Mildred Langley
Curran, wagered $4,000 that he would be
married again within 10 hours, did wed
Miss Alice Shreve of Medford. n. j..
Saturday morning, and thereby won his
bet. is definitely stated today by Mrs.
Emily Louise Perkins, who lives at 772
St. Nicholas avenue. this city.
Mrs Perkins is q friend OF the bride
and says that not only was she with the
two when they applied for their mar
rage license in Jersey City last Friday
but that she and other friends were
present at the marriage at o'clock
saturday morning in the home OF min
lister Of a Dutch Reformed Church, in
Jersey City, whose name she does not
remember.
She says also that she saw the bride
and bridegroom aboard the Kaiserin Au-
guste Victoria at II a. m, as they start
ed for Europe on their honeymoon.
Mrs. Perkins excuses her failure to
the address Of his house by the fact
that IL was the second time she had
ever been in Jersey City.
Mrs. Perkins also explains the denial
tives by stating that the parents were
not aware that the ceremony was 70
take place. The first intimation. she
said, that Miss Shreve's family had of
the marriage was a telegram sent to c.
Edgar Shreve, the brides brother. a
lawyer in Camden, y. J., just before
the couple went aboard the steamer
CuTan's relatives. il is Eaid, did not
know he was to marry again. although
they were aware he was trying to get
a divorce.
Although the ceremony was performed
on short notice. the couple had been
making preparations, and Miss Shreve
had an elaborate trOuSSeau ready.
1t cannot be learned whether the
$4,000 wager was settled before Curran
sailed Although such a wager has been
denied. CuTrau himself admitted to his
friends that he had made il. but he said
Miss Shreves name had not been men
toned.

So said Mrs. Alma Webster Powell al
her home. els President street, Brook
Ign, yesterday, when asked 20 explain
the new gown with which she startled
the members Of the American Legisla-
tive Union at a meeting at Columbia
University on Thursday evening.
The shopping gown which Mrs. Powell
wore at the meeting consists OF three
pieces The outermost is a long military
cape which reaches to the knee. Be-
meath this long. tight. but comfortably
fitting coat, which runs to the ankle. IN
place Of a skirt, Mrs. PowePs new
gown has what look like hussar's
breeches. The footwear consists OF 2
pair OF black riding boots.

CHORUS GIRLSSTING

Of pretty girls ranging in years from
seventeen TO twenty visited Charles z.
Pitunger, township trustee. and said
we just won't wear tights and those
hOrrid. close-fitting dresses. and so we
gave up our jobs with the show here
and are stranded far from our homes

Pitunger was duly sympathetic over
the girls plight, and bought Cor them
out Of the township fund for such pur-
poses three railroad tickets TO Cincin-
natl. the girls promising faithfully 70 re-
turn the amount TO him on their arrival
home.
Although this happened several days
ago, Pittinger IS stu waiting for the
money, but IL not without hope
The girls gave their names as Lucille
Gould, Mary Morgan. and Susan HUI,
and they came here In the chorus OF a
theatrical production. The more Pittin-
ger thinks OF the names given By the
young women-Gould. Morgan. and Hill
the more he Is inclined TO believe he
has been "gtung-"
I suppose the Hartman, Astor, and
Rockefeller girls with the show liked
their jobs, or they also would have Wis
