my FRIENDS MUST
LIKE JACK SAYS
GERAGHTYS BRIDE
He Has Brains of the
Family" the Young
HeireSs Declares.

VINO eloped from Newport last week
may make Springfield their perma.
nent home. Their original plan was
to return to Newport after the initial
excitement had subsided, but second
thought is said to have convinced Mr.
Geraghty that Newport will not per-
nit itself to forget the social gulf
which separated Mr.. Geraghty from
his bride. who is a niece of Mrs
French Vanderbilt Mr.. Geraghty is
no stranger in Springfield. and has
friends in the automobile business
here. 1t is said that he has been as
sured of the necessary backing to
open a garage or sales agency here
Mr. Geraghty admitted that he had
under advtsement a proposition to settle
IN Springfield, that he liked the city.
and might decide to remain here. "Of
course, It's all in the air as vet" he
said.
i do wish you would correct the
statement that l am a chauffeur" he
ADDED. I am not one and never have
peen In my life. l have never been en-
ployed in Mr.. French's family, and
don't wish people to think that | could
sneak into the family as chauffeur and
Try 10 steal Julia away. / do not be-
heVe III that sort of work; it's not on
the square. 1 have always treated peo-
pie right and could not do such a
thing. I am in business for myself and
have been for over three years. I have
an automobile agency and am also in
the automobile supply business in New
port with another fellow. l know all
Of the cbauffeurs in Newport and have
a fine trade, but am more Interested in
my own agency, and l make enough
money TO take care of my wife as she
should be taken care of. My father has
been in the livery business in Newport
Tor great many years, but when auto
mobiles became popular the business
dW1ndled, and / went in for automo-
bies.
Not a Chauffeur.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geraghty attended serv-
Ices at St MichaeTs Cathedral yester- |
day. They were quickly recognized. |
Geraghty is Roman Catholic, and the |
fact that his wife attended a church of |
his faith on the first Sunday after their |
marriage gave rise to the report that |
Mrs. Geraghty, who is an EpiscopalIan,
had relinquished her own faith and
would adopt her husbands religion. Mr..
Geraghty himself, however, said that
the story had no foundation.
You can't get us into a quarrel over
religion. so don't try" said Mr.. Ger
aghty, laughingly.
IN Mrs. Geraghty wore a suit Of blue
shade Of blue. white gloves and white
shoes completing the costume Mr..
Geraghty wore a dark suit and a straw
hat. The pair appeared to be in the
best Of spirits.
Bride Appears Contented.
Mrs. Geraghty Is picture of con.
tentment. Il had to leave some Of my
dogs at home" she said today. II could
only bring Map with me-" Hearing his
name, little Boston terrier came run
ming into the room. He is a prize win
ner," his mistress proceeded, "and l
was going to show him again in the
show Saturday, but, of course,
! can't show any of my dogs now.
can cook and sew / never cared for
school. l was dumped out of two or
three when 1 was a youngster, and
nave had a governess. l don't like to ,
study: it's too much trouble. Jack has
tn the e brains 2oa o, Of the family & We don't t
too much thought is put on clothes. S
If my friends do not like Jack, they
can't be my friends any longer, for my a
friends must be his. No, l have not i
know when / will hear, but, of course. +
hey are liable to come here any time"
The reason why the Geraghtys did not
attempt to mary in Newport is found
In section II of the public laws of Rhode
Island State, which runs in part: p

troll OF parent or guardian shall be O

How Father Feels. 81
