Engagement Long Since Announced.

Stella was so evidently in love that we
at last withdrew our objections and the
formal engagement was announced three
months ago. When the affairs OF the
wireless company got into the courts
Stella insisted that that was the time to
show her love for the man of her choice,
and can say for her tonight that she be-
lieves that when a man you love is in
trouble is the time to show what you
think of him and stick by him. Not that
believe anything can happen to the
colonel. He Is too good man to do any
wrong and I'm sure he will come out of
this trouble all right.
Money? Well, they say the colonel
has millions, or at least close to mil
lion. but / assure you that Stella did not
marry him for his money and would have
become Mrs. Wilson just as readily if he
hadn't cent
Mrs. Lewis added that President Will
sons family approved of the marriage,
but did not explain why none of them
was present at the wedding. She said
the ceremony had not been FASTENED by

absence of decorations, gifts and wedding
feast indicated that no preparations had
been made TO celebrate the event.

Declared a Love Match.

There is absolutely no mystery about
this marriage she said. Mr.. Wilson
and Stella have been engaged for three
months and it is a case of love match
pure and simple.
Stella, by the way. is not nineteen.
as she said at the city hail. but only
eighteen. She graduated from the Nor
ris High School and a business college,
and two years ago got position with
the United Wireless Company. At hrst
she worked for Mr. Pratt, but she
was quickly promoted and soon became
stenographer to President Wilson. She
fell in love with him almost at once,
and often insisted. when we began to
object to his attentions to her on ac-
count of the difference in their ages, that
the colonel was the youngest man she
ever met in spite of his years.
