If the best teachers are to be sec

-CHERBOURG, France. Aug. A.
Miss Mathilde Mccormick, seven
teen-year-old granddaughter OF Jonn

upon the liner Majestic. bur, con-
trary to expectations, she was not
met either by her father, Harold f.
Mccormick, nor by her fiance, Ma

An air Of mystery and suppress
sion, which had marked Mathilde's
entire voyage, was still in evidence
an she went ashore and departed for
Paris.
When the correspondent showed
Mathilde personal letter from
Major Oser she turned away without
even glancing at the signature.

Miss Mccormick remarked to a
stewardess: IL hope to have the
same cabin returning; 1t was very
comfortable"
Mathilde was dressed in a brown
skirt and hat, with a white shirt.
waist.
There was gossip on shipboard
that Miss Mccormick was comIug
to Europe to marry Major Oser. Her
romance has attracted international
attention, due to the great wealth Of
her family and the disparity in the
ages OF the two. Major Oser Is un-
derstood to be forty seven years old,
or nearly three times the age Of his
fiancee.
AS Mathilde departed, upon the
Cherbourg tender her uncle, Cyrus
Mccormick. wished her an affec.
tionate farewell.

Neither Mathilde nor her maid
would say anything to reporters on
the tender. In answer to every
question Miss Mccormick gave the
same answer:
