Madame Gamma Walska, Pretty
Polish Opera Singer, and Twice
Widow, Recently Married to Alex
a.mler Smith Cochran, Americas
Richest Bachelor" at the Time.
A BOUT forty years ago Robert Goeiet,
~ the one who lived in the big house
4 \ at the corner of Broadway and
Nineteenth street, died and left an enor'
m Jus fortune to his two sons, Robert, I'd.
and Ogden. or Roberts two children
Beatrice died young and Robert Walton
Goelet married a French girl in Bordeaux
few days ago. Ogden Goelet had two
children, May, who married the English
Duke of Roxburghe, and Robert, Sd, who
married last October an Italian girl, the
divorced wife of Russian violinist.
Here we have the whole Goelet family,
one of the oldest and wealthiest In Amer
lea, taking foreign mates. About the same
time that Robert, Sd, married Madame
Fernando Rocchi 'Riabouchinsky, Smith
Cochran, the wealthy carpet man Of Yonk-
ers, married Russian singer. These and
several other similar instances are OF promi-
nent people, socalled representative Amer
leans, whose doings are Of sufficient In
terest to receive conspicuous space In the
newspapers. But there are many other
representative Americans whose names do
not appear in the papers and whose mar
riages to foreign girls are not chronicled
as social events of national interest.
After his marriage Robert Walton Goelet
was asked to give the American press an
account of his wedding, and he is said to
have remarked, ut is a personal matter,
OF no interest to America" An account OF
tho wedding may not have been Of interest,
but the why" and how comes it, that
one of the richest bachelors In America
gees to France for q wife when there are
thousands of eligible girls here, hundreds
his own set, is of the greatest interest
Americans.
What is there about the foreign girl
that captivates our wealthy Americans?
II IL had been John Smith, doughboy, OF
Smiths Corners, who married a French
81 l. instead of Robert Walton Goelet, 1t
would not have attracted any attention,
yet the same question would have been
De -tinent. But in John Smiths case the
az sstion could be easily answered. John
Is young, inexperienced and impression
abe, and over there he met girls that we're
born coauettes. Marie, whether on the
be ilevard or on the farm, would cast shy
81 noes in his direction when he was look
ing that way, and IL he gave her tho
81 ghtest encouragement there would be
di upled smiles and pretty courtesies such
as he never received from Mary, his sweet
heart at Smiths Corners.
He thought II queer that Mary, who saw
him every day In his farm clothes, never
oticed that he had his suspenders pinned
to his pants because the buttons were off,

Lieutenant Stanley Mitchell Ames, pi- lot of the Curtiss-E Eagle plane that crash ed to the ground Sunday night near 1n- dian Head, resulting in the death Of Lieut.. Ames and his six companions, was the son of Frank T. Ames, head Of the Anaes Motor company of Wl!iimaptG. Lieutenant Ames is survived by his mother. Mrs Frank T. Arnes of Walpole, Mass, three brothers, Wallace 5. Ames Of Panama. Clinton D. Ames of PFoVi- dence, k. l., and J. Wesley Ames, stud- ent at the University of Maine, and a sister, Mrs. William Lee Berdsell of Wal pole He also leaves his wife a bride of three weeks, formerly Miss Josephine Boynton, daughter of Margaret Boynton, of Washington.
 Lieutenant Ames had an enviable re- cord in the air service. He entered the service in 1917 immediately after the United States entered the war. He re- ceived his training at Massachusetts In stitute of Technology, Princeton Univers- ity and Lake Charles, La Early in 1918 he sailed for France and saw much active service before the signing of the aFmistfce, in 1918.
 Upon returning to this country he was promoted to a first leutenancy and was assigned to Kelley Field near San An toniO, Texas. At the field he com manded the 18th Aero Squadron. While making a flight over the Mexican border his machine ran out of gas and he was forced to make a landing at Matamoras. The Mexicans took him captive and after he had spent several days in prison the United States authorities secured his freedom and compelled the Mexicans to return him to this country. Since last July he had commanded the aero squad ron at Boiling Field Washington, where the fatal accident took place. After re- celving word of her sons death, Mrs Ames started Monday morning for Wash inxton. The telegram notifying her of the death stated that Lieutenant Ames would be buried with military honers ir A-linSton National Cemetery.
 Bridgaoie= General Mitchell, assistant chief of the army air service who ae' companied the Eagle to Langley Fielt and who also had an exciting battle witl ter, stated that Lieutenant Alnes. wht was plotting the Eagle, was considered one of the best pilots in the service. II line with his work at Boiling Field Lieu tenant Ames was testing and engineering officer and was regarded as an authorit! in aero-enEiueering and testing.

TREBLE CLEF CONCERT
Program ExceIentIy Rendered by
Female Chorus and Assisting Artists

The Treble CIcf Club. one Of the
oldest and best Of the women 3
chorUscS of Philadelphia. gave an in
tCrcSting program and rendered it in
admirable style in the foyer of the
Academy Of Music last evening. The
club. which is under the direction of
Karl Schneider. sang with thorough
knowledge Of tho rather difficult work
which made MP tho program. with good
tonal quality, with unusually fine
dynamic effects and with as close an
adherence to pitch as is over obtninablc
in n non -profcssiOnaI chorus
All in all. the concert was one Of
the best that the organization has
given recently and the numbers on the
program were all Of n high standard Of
musiCNl worth, II thing which dora not
always obtain in such concerts. Works
such as Erahms setting of the Thir-
tccnth Psalm, Saint Sacns' "Night"
for female chorus. with soprano SOLO
cautatn, THE Shepherd Lady," are
not easy to sing. but all were finely
rendered. the second and third with
solo parts splendidly sung by Miss
Ethel Ruddcrow and Mrs. Caroline
Greene, respectively,
In addition to the choral numbers
the club was assisted by two soloistS.
Lajos Shuk. CelIist, and Clements
Bnronr, t1utist. MIR. Shuk, who is the
crllst of the Lett Quartet, showed an
admirable technique and II style Of play
ing which tended more towards the
virtuOso than the poetic However, his
numbers were well chosen and he scored
n decided success. Mr.. BnrOnr'S play
ing II well known to Philadelphia audi
cnccs and both in his ensemble number
with the chorus and in his solos hc did
splendid work. The concert was fol-
lowed by a dance.
