POOR BOY FOR HUSBAND.
Salesman Elopes With the Daughter
of New York Capitalist.

the home of DR.. Len G. Broughton,
are Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Daniels, anxi-
ously awaiting word from D. D. Du-
Pree, New York capitalist, retired
lawyer and-vastly more important
Mrs. Daniels's father.
The marriage of the two, solemn
lied Sunday night, was the culmina-
ton of a romance of years dura-
ton that began at the Hampton Ter
race hotel in Augusta last winter,
summered in New York, spent the
autumn in the mountains of Tennes-
see and came to Atlanta New Years
for the last act.
Not since Mary Elizabeth DePree,
travelling with her father last win
ter, met Ben Daniels, of Atlanta,
then a travelling salesman for the
National Cash Register Company,
but now employe in the office of the
Bowser Tank company, in Peachtree
street, have the pair ceased to battle
against the fathers objections to the
match.
But, as always, young love found
way, and while D. D. DuPree sat in
his hotel apartments in New York
Sunday night planning a European
trip for himself and his daughter,
Betty" DuPree, as she likes to be
called, left the home of her grand
mother in Dayton, Tenn, changed
cars at Oakdale for Atlanta and was
| married to the man her father OBJ
jected to.
Mrs. Daniels was perfectly willing
to talk of her marriage at the Ara
gon hotel Friday afternoon, especially
when the reporter promised word
from her father. She was bundled
up in bed in a fluffy pink blanket as
she told the story of the romance.
81 don't know what he will do
now," she said laughing. maybe ne
will disown me, because he didn't
want me to marry Ben. You see,
he had a man all picked out and laid
| away on the shelf for me.
:"No; there is no use me telling
you who he was. l called him Billy,
and Billy was pretty nice boy
but"
Then young and pretty Mrs. Dan
iels-she is nineteen and tall-drop-
ped long black lashes over pair OF
wide blue eyes and smiled broadly.
LAS long as you know so much
about the marriage 1 might just as
we'll tell you the whole story, If you
must know it," she continued, push
ing back a mass of heavy black hair.
81 don't know why it was that
father objected to my marriage with
Ben, excepting that he was strong Tor
Billy, but he took me away from Au-
gusta. and tried to keep me from
writing to Ben.

it grandmother. You know we live
in Tennessee, but spend most of our
time in New York, and father wrote
me to come on to New York and we
would 90 abroad and to Bermuda.
81 had it all arranged, and when
I left Dayton 1 just changed cars at
Oakdale and came on to Atlanta.
That was last Sunday. Ben met me
at the station and we went to DR..
Broughton's house and were married
1t was funny, DR.. Broughton knew
right away that we were runaWays
He said: You two have run away to
get married. l can tell the symp-
| toms'"
Mrs. Daniels would be called re-
markably pretty. She is of the French
type with dark hair, blue eyes and
clear translucent skin.
I'VE are only going to be in At
lanta for another week. she said.
II want to hear from father. I wrote
him Friday, but we haven't heard
word. I expect that we will both go
to Florida for the winter-Dayton or
Palm Beach. We haven't decided
yet.'
Ben Daniels is well known in At
lanta, and has been here for several
years. He was formerly connected
with the local force of the National
Cash Register company, butts now
employed as a salesman on a COM
mission basis for the Bowser Tank
company in Peachtree street. He
could not be located by a reporter
for the Georgian Friday afternoon.
According to information received
from New York D. D. DuPree is on
his way to Atlanta 1t is understood
