Max Oser and Miss Mathilde McCor-
mick will not be made until Harold
F. Mccormick and his daughter come

America and one in Switzerland; thus
both would keep the home ties and
old friends.
IT was never a dowry hunter" sad
the Swiss riding master. Our TO-
nance began with mutual respect and
friendship. When the question OF
eventual marriage arose I gave Ma
thilde every liberty. told her to go
into the world and make new friends
and see life; then If she still wanted
me I was always here.
"Mathilde returned last autumn and
said she could do nothing with young
men; she preferred older men and men
Of knowledge, with whom she could
talk sense and discuss serious SUBJ

Taking Mathilde's latest photo

physically and mentally Mathilde is
more developed than her age. We
lave many tastes in common. Both
like sports, art, architecture. litera-
ture, languages and, above all. home
life. BY the way. We speak the Swiss
dialect German between ourselves.
Mr.. oser took occasion to deny re-
ports of John D. Rockefellers consent
or the offer of highly remunerative
situation In America. He said he

II cannot wait the number Of years
required by American law; that would

II think both of US prefer modest
wedding in Switzerland to an elaboI-
ate affair in America. but that can BE-
arranged"
Oser is Of athletic build, with strong
face. He wears closely cropped
moustache. has pleasant eyes and ais
hair is untinged with gray. He wears
