JULIA FRENCH
 SEEKING DIVORCE
Newport Society Girl Dis satisfied With Conduct of
 Chauffeur Husband.

Newport, April 30 = Mrs Jack Geraghtv, formerly Julia French, of the aristocratic old family so closely identified with Newport and Tuxedo Park. filed suit for divorce yesterday from her husband. who was chauf- feur at the time of the marriage.
 Thus a new chapter is opened in the romance of the young couple which so startled Newport in 1911 and which society always has whls- perad was the cause of the divorce of Mrs. Geraghty's parents, MT. and Mrs. Amos Jack French
 It is understood Mrs. GeTaShJy asks her decree on grounds of eN- trene cruelty and neglect to provide She also is seeking the custody or her little son, Jack. Jr.
 Handsome Jack Geraghty the French family chauffeur and son Of a Newport hack driver, paid secret court to Julia French during the brilliant summer season of 19ll- She was then only IS years old. From the galaxy of eligibIes which besieged the French home, Julia could not pick man who so suited the die tates of her heart as Handsome Jack" driver of the luxurious auto mobiles.
 In August of 1911 Miss French de- fled the consequences she knew were bound to come and eloped with Jack to Center Village, Conn. The motor trip required a great part of the night and they were married by a parson they routed from bed. After wards a Catholic priest re-performed the ceremony.
 The doors of fashionable Newport villas closed automatically to the young couple MT. French, the brides father, ragged over her rash act" Mrs French, for time, seemed equally offended, but the gossip in the villa colony has always been that she really, deep down in her heart was not so upset over the match
 4 little more than a year later old Doctor Stork hovered over the honev-suckIe covered cottage Hand some Jack" and his bride occupied in one of the by-ways of Newport. It proved that the long-legged bird was bringing more than an heir to the couple He brought an olive branch with the basket which won for Mrs. Geraghty full forgiveness from her mother, her grandmother and her aunt, Mrs. Elsie French Vanderbilt.
 But MT. French could not forget and forgive at least for while; but sometime later he looked with less severity on his daughters rash act which so disturbed him.
 When, in March of 1914, Mrs. Amos Tuck French won suit for divorce from the millionaire and clubman. rumors became current in Newport that the real cause of the trouble be- tween them had been the elopement of their daughter with the chauf- \ feur. Some of these reports went so
