ATLANTA BOY FOR HUSBAND
Salesman Elopes With the Daughter
of New York Capitalist-AWait.
ing Word From Father.

| Atlanta, Jan. 6-In a little suite OF
rooms in the Aragon hotel, where they
have been since Sunday night when
they were quietly married at the home
of DR.. Len G.. Broughton, are Mr.. and
Mrs. Ben Daniels, anxiously awaiting
word from D. D. DuPree, New York
capitalist, retired lawyer and-vastly
mere important-Mrs. Daniels faith
er.
The marriage OF the two, solemniz-
ed Sunday night, was the elimination
of a romance of a years duration that
began at the Hampton Terrace hotel
in Augusta last winter, summered in
New York, spent the autumn in the
mountains of Tennessee and came to
Atlanta New Years for the last act.
Not since Mary Elizabeth DuPree,
travelling with her father last win
ter, met Ben Daniels, of Atlanta, then
a travelling salesman for the National
Cash Register company, but now en-
ploye in the Office of the Bowser Tank
company, in Peachtree street. have the
pair ceased to battle against the girls
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" DuPre, as she likes to be
called, left the home of her grand
mother in Dayton, Tenn, changed cars
at Oakdale for Atlanta and was mar
ried to the man her father objected 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 fluffy pink blanket as
she told the story of the romance.
ct don't know what he will do now,"
she said laughing. MAYBE he 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. I called him Billy and
Billy was a 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.
Gas long as you know so much
about the marriage I might just as
well tell you the whole story, if you
must know it,. she continued, push
ing back mass of heavy black hair.
''I don't know why it was that faith
er objected to my marriage with Ben,
excepting that he was strong for
Billy, but he took me away from Au-
gusta, and tried to keep me from
writing to Ben.
"Then he sent me to Dayton to visit
grandmother. You know We live in
Tennessee, but spend most of our time
in New York. I stayed two months at
Dayton, and father wrote me to come
on to New York and we would so
abroad and to Bermuda.
81 had it all arranged, and when
I left Dayton I 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.. Brough-
tons house and were married. It was
funny, DR.. Broughton knew right away
that we were runaways. He said:
1Ou wv y nave Iu1l away W SSL 1udI-
ried. I can tell the symptoms"
Mrs. Daniels would be called re-
markably pretty. She is of the French
type with dark hair, blue eyes and
clear translucent skin.
eve are only going to be in At
lanta for another week." she said. "I
want to hear from father. Wrote him
Friday, but We haven't heard word
expect that we Will both go to
Florida for the winter-Dayton or
Palm Beach. We haven't decided
yet"
Ben Daniels is we'll known in At
lanta, and has been here for several
years. He was formerly connected
with the local force of the National
