Behind him was another young man, Stan
ley Barge, New York friend, who had
agreed to be witness and best man at the
elopement
Everything all right?" carolled the cap
tain as he approached.
Did Miss Alice fall fainting into his
arms, relinquishing here the conduct of
the expedition and thus resume the old
fashioned manner? Not at ALL
Jump in, Billy" she commanded. Come
on, Mr.. Barge. We've got to pick up Peggy
Graydon now"
Peggy-Miss Margaret Graydon-one of
Miss DrexeTs intimates, was just where
she had been told to be.
Whizz went the big car again, straight
on to New Rochelle, and drawing up in
front of the home of the pastor of the New
Rochelle Methodist Episcopal Church, Miss
Drexel slipped the gears into neutral,
turned off the spark, put down the brakes
and went in and was married.
The first historically recorded new wo-
man elOpemert was an unqualified success!
Later, Mamma and Papa Drexel were
notified. 1t is certain that for time things
must have been very distressing. They
even issued a statement An unheard of
thing in Drexel circles so far as purely
personal matters are concerned.
"Mr. and Mrs. Drexel have not had the
pleasure of meeting Captain Barrett and
daughters wedding is, therefore, both a
surprise and shock to them"
But day or so later all four spent an
evening together, and every one supposes

And after all these things had been adj
justed in the back, down the steps strolled
Miss Alice, Outwardly, at least, calm and
care-free and dressed in one dark blue
satin gown, one blue tulle hat, trimmed
with flowers, and jacket of moleskin.
The chauffeur relinquished the wheel to
her-for, in the phrase of the chauffeur,
Miss Alice is a bearcat of a driver
touched his hat, grinned at Heloise and
disappeared. Under the hand of the
Drexel daughter the big car gathered
speed, wound around in traffic for a while,
shot over the northern tip of Manhattan,
and began to purr along toward Bronx
Park
And right here Heloise, the maid, got
the shock of her life. The car stopped
and Miss Drexel turned to her
Here, Heloise," she said, "is where you
get out" or words to that effect
How can one describe the emotions of
a perfectly trained maid, who while think
ing she is going to Tuxedo for a pleasant
visit, is told to get off on a side approach
to Bronx Park? It's impossible!
Nevertheless the fact remains that
HelOise untangled herself from the lug
gage and got off. And there she stood,
thinking who can say what thoughts as
she watched the big car whizz on and
vanish in the distance.
Not far did it go. Only to Bronx Park
itself And there an eager gentleman in
the uniform of captain of the air service
disengaged himself from the shrubbery
and leaped jubilantIy to the auto. II was.

quently as possible at the
homes of sympathetic friends,
ran into each other in the
Park and managed to be to-
gether just as much as it is
possible under the rose.
Then came a time when
each knew the others heart.
And Miss Drexel very firmly
and decidedly said "yes."
But the question remained
How"
She was under no illusions as to what
would happen if she told papa and mamma
what she had agreed to do. No, it would
have to be an elopement. But manifestly
Captain Barrett couldn't scale the front of
her house, draw her half-reluctant out of
the window and down to any waiting steed.
1t can't be done in New York with the
police walking by every few minutes. Be
sides, there were a lot of pretty dresses
she wanted to take with her-otherwise, of
course, they could just go and get married.
How could she get those dresses out?
Quite suddenly Miss Drexel blossomed
into the new womanhood, a wave Of re-
sourcefulness swept through her.
Don't you worry" said she to the i'm
patient captain. Now, here's what we'll
do
They whispered
1t was next morning that Miss Alice, at

languidly over toward her mother

said, and mentioned as her destination

All Of which sounded so entirely reason
able to Mrs. Drexel that she hardly even
thought about it. But Heloise, who wasn't
at all in the secret, wondered a bit how
long she was going to be away from New
York, for the dresses and things Miss
Alice was picking out to pack looked like
