Right there. it must be re-

a readiness to throw aside all

a good fellow" was best man.
The Rev. Leslie Briggs, Of the
First Congregational Church, per.
formed the ceremony. Mrs. Mitch.
ell, as has been said. was conspicu-
ously absent. and 1t would seem
that Geneva made a grave error in
not taking her mother into her
confidence.
For Mrs. Mitchell knows more
about Broadway and stage life than
Geneva ever could imagine--for.
until two years ago. the mother
was herself a "Follies' girl and far
from the least pulchritudinous Of
that far-famed flock.
Geneva fitted back to "The
Follies." where she said:
MY husband is the most won.
derful man in the world. Oh. no,
he would not think of interfer.
ing with my career, for I hope to
become a great success"
And Robert said:
''I know there is a prejudice
against the stage. but I don't see
anything wrong in marrying the
only girl In the world that I love.
I'm sure that my mother will see
things in the right light. I am
the youngest Of eight children
and ! haven't seen any of my
folks yet. \ expect to go back to

derstand. for Geneva is really the
most wonderful woman in the
world"
Thus far Geneva has bounded
successfully on her pogo utick.
The Washington times., 1922-11-12

noted all over the world.
They were wed last March al
dusk, and soon after dawn they
parted. Now Geneva is seeking an
annulment of the runaway ro'
nance. largely because she was too
young to know the consequences
Of the leap, and also because nam,
ma-who Is Mrs. Verna Ethel
Mitchell-knew nothing about it
and has never been reconciled to
the idea.
FOR THE GLORY OF YALE.
Young Mr.. Savage was not pres
snt at the hearing before Supreme
Court Justice Tiefney on Geneva's
application. but he was represent.
ed by the distinguished and ex.
pensive law firm of which Elihu
Root is head. The court is still
considering the matter.
Robert was a poet and a student
at Yale and what caught his eye
first at the frolic was the pogo
girl with the big ~" on her
sweater and when she won the
contest. it must have seemed to
him that fate and poetic justice
Jointly compelled his love.
Then one night Geneva stumbled
and fell and Robert. watching from
the first row-he had been to the
show ten nights in succession by
that time-was devastated. Obvi-
ously he could not permit the girl
he loved to continue to risk her
life and limb on a pogo stick!
A meeting was arranged between
them by one of those mutual
friends without whom Broadway
would be desolate indeed for
transients, and he confided his
love.
YOUTH AND SPRING.
This was Spring and they were
young. Geneva had been in The
Follies" and with Sally" and de.
spite her seventeen years one
might have expected - well. any
way. they were wed in Milford,
Conn. How 1t was arranged is
made clear In this letter from
pohert IN Geneva. which was
introduced at the hearing:
1--WE can't be married in New
York. as It takes too long to get q
license and we could not keep 1t

secret indefinitely. Therefore.
We will have to come to Milford.
