and friends, Mrs. Isabel Bernhe'mer
Murray, the heiress, is back with the
elevator boy, James J. Murray, whom
she married recently and apparently
deserted on Wednesday.
Mrs. Murray is the daughter OF
Charles Daily Bernheimer, Broadway
manufacturer, and his divorced wife
Mrs. Otto II. Fourth. She was not
quite nineteen years old when she
eloped with Murray, who was a hallboy
in the Brentmore apartments on River
side Drive, where the girl lived.
Murray lost his job when he eloped
but easily get another in the Times
Building, at Broadway and Forty-sec-

with the young pair as they lived IN
their little fiat of four rooms at 33S
East Fifty-seventh Street, even though

to luncheon.
Both Mr.. Bernheimer and Mr.. Mat

She agreed 10 20 to Mr. Matthews S
home in Flatbush to think the matter
over. In the meantime, the furniture
man had been notified by some one ia
