PAINTER IN HOSPITAL WINS
LOVE OF FAIR GIRL EMPLOYE
Nurses Surprised to Learn of Ro-
nance and Coming Marriage

Michael oLeary is painter not one of
those long haired Bohemian fellows who
daub oils on a canvas but just a sensible,
hard-worling painter of houses who knows
how to make color affiliate properly with
clapboards, wooden stills and kitchen floors
But don't think for one minute that
Michael Is without the artistic tempera-
ment because his hair is not long and be-
cause he never painted a landscape He
showed that he had this temperament in
plenty when he selected for his own Helen
Haggerty a pretty maid at st. Joseph's
Hospital. Michael is employed as
painter at the hospital, so he had ample
opportunity to cultivate the acquaintance
of Miss Haggerty. This acqualntanceship
quickly developed into a tenderer senti-
ment, all unknown to the sisters, nurses
and internes. So everybody was sur
prised today when IT was announced that
Helen and Michael would be married nj
1880 next Monday morning in the Church
or the Gesu. 18th and Stiles streets. The
pair VIII establish themselves in a IittIe
nome near the hospital The institution
VIII lose pretty and capable maid but
1t will retain the services OF a very CAPABLE
and a better painter.
