Yes terday morning the boys father call- ed him over the phone at Fairfield, and among the questions asked of the boy was: Are you crazy?" to which the boy replied "Not yet" The boy at that time asked his father for money and today received a check for one dollar and half.
 Miss Combs drove from New York with her chauffeur in her own car, and expects that the boy will return with her to the city to spend the week. end with her and his parents, who live at AZ West 18th street.
 While he admits that he has known the girl less than a year, Combs says it was a case of love at first sight, and he became engaged to her on last Friday evening. He says that he expects to finish his school course be- fore becoming benedict.
