| NEW YORK.-What has become
!. Aaf Dellora Angel, the twenty-year.
oEs- !+..1--AGn> heiress?
Has the -little-rich' girl Of
Chicago run away from love?
Or perhaps somewhere in this
city, unknown and unrecognized, a
tall, slender girl with laughing hazel
eyes is enjoying the situation which
she has created out in Chicago when
the announcement was suddenly
made that the 5000, 900 heiress Of
the late John w. Gates was engag-
ed to be married-and then mysteri-
ously disappeared.
Or is romance once more playing
it's elusive game? There is a say
ing that romance is never a passen-
ger on the same ship we are travel
ing on. That it is always in the
ship ahead, just disappearing over
the horizon, reckoning us on, Turing
us with it's chameleon colors.
This is the third time Dellora
Angel has disappeared from the
public's gaze just when she was the
cynosure of every romantic eye.
And this is the season for ro-
nance. The summer breezes are
waiting it. The brooks are singing
their song. The trees are whisper
ing of love. The love tales Of Hero
and Leander, of Romeo and Juliet,
Of Launcelot and Elaine-all the
love tales of long ago are ringing
down through the ages.
Romance is not for all Of us all
Of the time, but for some Of us
some Of the time.
| To Dellora Angel, romance has
been very partial.

ed in the latest romance Of this 70.

Some say she has sailed to parts
unknown. Some say she is hiding
incognito in New York City. Others
say she is off in search Of adven-
lures new.
Boy Is Poor
The boy from whom she has van
| ished? Is he as wealthy as she?
Has fortune favored him as well?
No. He is nothing more than a
poor, struggling artist, the son of
an undertaken in st. Charles, Ill.
| Dellora was born in St. Charles,
in December, 1902, SO you see, she
really is not twenty years old yet.
| And Lester Norris was her play
mate through many of these years.
This spring, while visiting at Lake
Geneva, where Dellora has a won
derful summer camp, Cupid darted
out from behind a tree-and Dellora
suddenly discovered that Lester was
mighty fine chap. Everything
was fine. The path Of love seemed
as smooth as a bed of roses when
| neutrality-suspicious. vanished.
| Perhaps her parents have other
plans for her? Perhaps Dellora has
| gone in search of that elusive Ro-
nance which seems to play around
| her?
But it is true that twice before
Dellora has completely vanished
when Dame Rumor was busily cir
culating stories of the budding ro-
| nance of Chicago's richest debu-
| tante.
Back. in 1916, Dellora was but a
school girl, with no idea under her
brown locks that vast fortune was
accommodating for her. She was a
student in Ferry Hall seminary,
Lake Forest, Ill. Here she played
pranks just like any other school
| girl. They had midnight suppers,
picnic parties and romped about the
| green terraces. Dellora was in on
every game. Her large dimples,
which are very conspicuous, were
continually flashing. She was

Huge Fortune
| Suddenly Fortune smiled-in fact
-grinned-showed a mouthful of
teeth-all gold.
All of the millions gathered by
"Bet-a-Million Gates" and subse-
| quently distributed to his son,
Charles w. Gates, his wife and other
relatives-and all the time gathering
to itself more wealth-suddenly
seemed to concentrate and gather
about the 16-year-old Lake Forest
| student.
Now there is fund of $3S,OO0,0O0
| to which she will some day have
| full access.
There is a 100000 trust fund
from her uncle, 100000 trust
fund from her cousin, Charles w.
Gates, a 100000 trust fund from
her aunt, jewelry worth 100000 and
several houses in the east and west,

camp at Lake Geneva. When she
reaches the age of thirty she will
receive outright one-fourth Of the
greater trust fund, and at thirty
five she will receive another one
fourth. When she reaches the age
of forty the remaining one-half will
go to her.
So far she has received scarcely
$1,5O0,O00 from the Gates estate.
She came into possession Of $780,
charged on her eighteenth birthday.
Thus Fortune has a right to smile
on whom she favors.
Then while Fortune was still smil-
ing over it's golden way with Dellora,
romance softly treaded its way to
her.
Delorra met DIR. S. E. Vantini, a
Brazilian physician, to whom she
was greatly attached. Society prick

appeared.
Physician Left
There is a story that she promised
to marry any physician who would
give all his time to free work for
the poor in an institution which she
herself would build. Perhaps DR..
Vaniti was given this chance-and
failed.
Il At any rate, Dellora continued on
Tler romantic way.
Then she met c. Wilson Campbell,
a wealthy Los Angeles oil promoter.
Friends watched with interest the
growing romance. They gasped
when they thought of the money
which would be united when the two
fortunes were gathered together.
Campbell was a graduate of the
Ohio State university. He owned
extensive Oil lands around Tulsa.
