Debutante Daughter of Amos Tuck French AbandOns Social Swim at Newport to Marry Son of Stableman

Newport, R. l., Aug. 10-JulA Estelle French, the debutante daughter of MT and Mrs Amos Tuck French, whose
 winter home is at Tuck's Eden, Tux edo, N. Y, was married early yester- day in the parlor of the Central Hotel in Central Village, Conn.,, to John Ed ward Geraghty, an automobile cnauI- feur, who is the son of Newport livery stable keeper. They left there by train in the direction of Worcester and their whereabouts are not known.
 The groom is 21 years of age and the bride is 19. Because both are Of legal age it is thought that any pur- suit of the young couple will prove of no effect, even if they should be overtaken. At the French residence, however, it is understood that the family will exert every influence to induce Mrs. Geraghty to leave her husband.
 Through the marriage the bride groom becomes a relative of Major General Lord and Lady CheylesmOre of London, who were prominent in the recent coronation ceremonies; of Stuy- vesant Leroy, an uncle of the bride, who as-recently appeared as a cotll- lion leader in Newport and New York; and of Mrs. Frances O. French, the brides grandmother, who lives at the Villa St Priest, Cannes, France; and of Mrs. Samuel J. Wagstaff, sister of the bride, and Mrs. French Vanderbilt, an aunt.
 The first definite news that the daughter of MT French had formed an attachment for the chauffeur was carried throughout the social colony here by friends of Stuyvesant Leroy several days ago. On Friday evening MT. Leroy made formal demand upon young Geraghty that he cease his attention to Miss French and com pletely abandon his efforts to meet her clandestinely. The two met down toward the seashore to talk over an incident of the previous Thursday, when Miss French had failed to re- turn to her. home promptly after lawn fete, and her parents had found ner near the house in young Ger aghty's company. He had been at the lawn fete in a chauffeur's garb of brown khaki.
 There was talk then of sending Miss French away to give the attachment that this decision had much to do with the determination of the couple to run away. They slipped out Of Newport Tuesday night in spite of the watchfulness maintained by the brides parents. Young -Geraghty went to his nome that evening a1ter WOrklHS through the garage where he is .em- ployed at $50 per month. He was driving a large touring car, but his parents thought nothing of this, as he had often come to his home in cars he was driving for hire. On enter ing the house he changed his clothes, putting on the best he possessed
 His mother spoke to him about his atta chment for a girl, who, she urged, was out of his class, and warned him, as she had done before. that it would be best for him to make his friend ships among girls of his own social level He only smiled, and drove away in the touring car. How he met Miss French is a mystery which the young woman's family has not yet solved. She had been permitted to go out only in the company of maid, and then only to walk with her pet dogs, of whom she had Q. number of prize-winning thoroughbreds.
