Entirely unknown to their parents and
friends Miss Widener and Carter Leidy

in 1920 and sped to Knoxville, Tenn,
where they obtained a license and vsrs

young people.
II was in the same year that Miss
Edith Gould, the lovely dark eyed daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. George J. Gould, sur
prised her parents and society by run
ming away with Carroll Wainwright, an
art student This elopement occurred on
the day after the brides graduation from
school.
The very youthful couple met by ap-
pointment at o'clock one morning at
Fifth avenue and Fifty-fourth street
They caught a train to Philadelphia and
motored from there TO Elkton Nd, which
has become popular as an American
Gretna Green. There they were mar
ried.
The bridegroom said that he loved
Edith from the first time he met her in
the preceding summer.
I'VE eloped." he explained because
we knew that we would be separated for
the whole summer. We never could have
stood the separation. Running away was
the only way we could avoid IT,"
Parental forgiveness was conveyed i'm
mediately from both sides of the house
to the young runaways. They have now
settled down, the husband to art and the
bride to housekeeping. and are enjoying
life immensely.

The metal Is 80 hard that It is said
that a diamond pointed borer, making
5000 revolutions a minute, produces in
It, after three days of work, an excava-
ton of only one-fiftieth of an inch in
depth.
NO sooner has some previously unused
metal been found applicable to some
branch of industry than many other un-
expected uses are discovered for 1t. This
is strikingly true of tantalum, originally
called into requisition to furnish an i'm
proved form of filament for electric
lamps. Nicolardot has found that
tantalum and its almost inseparable
companion, columbium, when added in
certain proportions to steel make the
steel very hard, but leave it, at the same
time, ductils.

This alone would make her quite an i'm
portant parsonage in English society.
But young Count Edward George zichy
has historic deeds and romances, too, on
his side. His family is one OF the oldest
in the Hungarian aristocracy, and held
almost royal rank in the distant past.
The Castle of Zichy In the county Of So
mogy. has been in possession of the
family since 1345.
The old Hungarian mobiles have always
enjoyed remarkable degree of power
and popularity in their country. and even
to-day, In spite of war reverses, they are
the dominant force. Hungary 10 at pres
ent governed by Regent who acts un-
til the nation chooses king. Many of
the Hungarians have strongly advocated
selecting as king member Of one of the
old native families like the Szechenyis
and the Zichys. Count Szechenyi, who
married Gladys Vanderbilt. has already
declared that he was not candidate for
the throne.
It therefore seems that young Count
Zichy, a very handsome youth, would
make an ideal king while his charming
American bride would adorn the throne
like a queen of old romance.
Count Zichy inherited the romantic
temperament directly from his father
and mother. His mother was an Ameri-
can, Miss Mabel Wright, who thirty years
ago was known as "the Dresden china
beauty" of New York society. Mabel
Wright was a very poor girl, who lived
In New York boarding house and earned
her living by painting Christmas cards
and designing calicos.
One day during an outing at Narra-
gansett Pier, her beauty caught the at
tention OF Fernando Yznaga, the i'm
mensely wealthy Cuban, whose sister
married the late Duke of Manchester
Yznaga sought Mabel wright's acquain-
tance and married her. He had been di-
vorced from a previous wife, sister of
Mrs o. H. p Belmont.
The beautiful Mrs. Yznaga was on the
top of New York society for few years.
Then the impulsive couple grew weary
of one another. The dashing Count Bella
Zichy with the blood of the Hungarian
crusaders in his veins, came to America
and the American beauty fell in love with

r KEBERG, the Swedish discoverer
r. Of tantalum, gave that name to
the metal because Of the tanta-
LIKING difficulties he encountered while
investigating It. 1t has not been many
years since tantalum was obtained in a
state Of purity. and the rapidity with
which It has been produced in response
to the demands Of commerce and industry
is most extraordinary. It furnishes ex-
'cellent filaments for electric lamps, al
though tungsten is more highly regarded.
Only a little while ago the mineral
from which tantalum Is obtained was so
rare that not enough could be found to
supply specimens to all the nineralogical
museums Now Australia produces some
thing like hundred tons OF tantalum a
year. This does not seem n great guam
tity, but 1t is to be remembered that a
single pound of tantalum suffices to fur

tained divorce.
Then came her real romance. While
serving as nurse during the war, He
lene Demarest had an opportunity to
nurse a young wounded British officer
back to health. He was Lo-d Alastair
Leveson-Gower, brother and heir of the
Duke of Sutherland, who has no chill
dren. While the war was still raging
Helene Demarest married Lord Alastair.
The Duke of Sutherland is the largest
land owner in the United Kingdom, own
ing 100000 acres, and is descended
from the old Scottish Earls OF Sutherland,
who had practically royal power in the
early middle ages.
Two years ago Lord Alastair died quite
unexpectedly while hunting big game in
Africa. He left Helene Demarest wid-
ow with little girl The an-i-nt earl
dom Of Sutherland, created In 1928, and
much older than the dukedom. will pass
on-the present dukes death to this little
girl. The earldom descends in the female
line, but the dukedom does not The little
girl will also have the Dukes castles and
estates.
Thus the new Countess zi,hy will be
aunt to the Countess of Sutherland, a
peeress of Scotland in her own right.

For laggard in love, and de stard in

When they reach'd the hall door, and the

So light to the Group the fair lady he

So light to the saddle, before her, he

Count Zichy stands feet and is quite
a young Lochinvar in manners and ap-
pearance: Lochinvar was not as rich
as the abandoned bridegroom. Count
Zichy, the modern Lochinvar, is poor,
while Mr.. Burton fs rich. Lochinvar's
rival had to dismiss the splendid equi-
page he had brought for his bride. Mr..
Burton (born George Bernheimer) had
to cancel the special car he he'd ordered
to take his bride to Elberon, N. ].
It is certain that marriages and ro-
mances are hereditary in certain families.
They have occurred again and again in

once in Charlotte Demarest's family.

In provisions the outcome varied from

In addition to the announcement Of
steps toward furnishing practically unlim-

ceived that a single elevator company
at Kansas City was loading out 900

ers apparently adopted the view that
too much wheat was coming to Chicago
for the prices to hold. although vessels
here started loading 800 900 bushels Of
wheat today for the east, and further
lake shipments from here were looked
for.
Favorable crop reports from the south
west tended also to stimulate bearish
sentiment as to wheat Slowing down
of export demand was another factor
and so, too, was a decline at Liverpool
ascribed to increased estimates of the
Argentine exportable surplus. Deliveries
of wheat here today on May contracts
were $4,000 bushels, and there were re.
