Mrs. Jack" Geraghty, formerly Miss
Julia Steele French. told without any
concealment yesterday afternoon all
about the plans she made three
months ago to elope with the young
chauffeur. She said she loved lim
and would not give him up for the
world, especially for "any society
fool" as she put it, and that she did
not know exactly what they were 60
ing to do in the way of plans TO; the
future.
Il met Jack when he was demon
strating a car at Newport three years
ago, and year afterward / fell il
love with him." said Mrs. Geraghty.
I'VE made plans about three months
ago to elope in September, but MY
parents discovered what was up. They
found out that was in love with
Jack and that l was going to marry
him. They forbade Jack to come to
the house, and were going to send
me to Europe on the next steamer,
so that l would be separated from
him. They said that would forget
him. So we decided that the only
thing left was to- get married at once.
"Can you keep house?" Mrs. Ger
agility was asked.
Fitted Herself for Jack"
"Of course l can. l can cook and
can sew. l know all about house
keeping. l have practiced it in my
home. And l did it for the express
purpose of fitting myself for Jack. /
wanted to be useful to him when we
we're married.
Il have not made any plans.
don't have to do the planning now.
It is up to Jack and he will look al
ter all that. We may live in Newport
later"
Are you going to send for your
things at New port?"
"You bet l will send for them and
l hope they will give them to me-"
Then she added:
Does Not Like Society
I'm not losing anything in leaving
society. I don't like it anyway. Ev-
erybody tries to dress better than
else. Altogether, its tire
and foolish. l have not made
any oyertures to my parents, but l
wrote them saying l was sorry l
caused them worry"
This IS the letter she wrote:
Dear Mamma: am very sorry
that l have caused you all this worry,
but will never regret marrying Jack
to the last day of my life. love him
better than anything in the world
and I would rather live in dog ken
mel with him than in palace with
some society fool. don't see that l
have done anything to ask forgive
less for. have just married the man
love and hope you will look at it
n the same light as l do. Your
devoted daughter. JULIA GERAGH-
