of society" or the pursuits of the
purely social set.
Gene and Mary were introduced
very casually at some informal &C.
casion or other, Gene was not
famous then. Nor was he rich. He
probably had less than $4,000
But he was a fine, impressive
young fellow.
Everybody knows how he won
his place in the boxing world.
While he was winning it. lot Of
people ieered him because Of his
aloofness from the ordinary asso-
ciations of boxers. They didn't
think his attitude and ambitions
could >be genuine. But they were.
| guess Mary was one OF the big
reasons.
The house Gene bought near
stamford. some two years ago, is
more than zoo years old. and is a
little gem of Colonial architecture.
Gene saw it one day as he was
motoring to Waterbury, and bought
it the next.
Realized His Dream
Undoubtedly he hoped Miss
Lauder would share this home
with him, but they were not en-.
gagged at that time.
The house has old Dutch ovens
and Dutch fireplaees, which have
been restored. There isn't a mod,
ern thing in the place.
Scraping off about five coats Of
paint revealed that the house Is
completely paneled in mellow old
pine, which has been re-finished
and restored so that it is now ex-
actly as it was before the Revolu-
tionary War.
Gene has become greatly inter-
csted in old houses and old furni-
ture, and has been studying them
rclgiously for the past two years
so that he is very we'll informed
on these subjects now.

BY a Friend Of Gene and Mary
las Told to HOrtcnsc Saundcrs)

New York, Aug. 1.-THE WIN
ming of Mary Josephine Lauder was
Gene Tunney's biggest fight, 1t
took him five years.
Mary shares Genes tastes for
athletics and for literature as well.
With the exception of boxing, there
Is hardly sport in which She isn't
a match for him.
She is a splendid tennis player,
an excellent rider and swimmer.
She is very studious, has been we'll
educated, and is accomplished in
music and art. She writes poetry,
and will probably develop into
quite a writer, If she continues.
HIS One Ideal
Since the day Tunney was intro
duced to her - five years ago,
when she was 16 - believe he
has had but one ideal to mako
her his wife. l know of no other
girl in whom he ever expressed
the slightest interest.
Though girl with such Sc
cure social position that she could
forget it completely, Miss Lauder
never has cared for society. l am
sure she never has been interested
in any man but Gene.
Her parents never opposed the
match. They like Tunney. as has
every one who knows him well,
and they have all sorts of re-
spect and regard for him.
She never has seen Tunney box.
But l am sure that she was ma
responsible for his leaving the
ring. She is too good a sports
woman not to appreciate the skill
| involved IN boxing.
Friends OF Wilder
| She, however, never thinks OF
him as the fighter, but as himself
Gene never discusses boxing will,
his friends.
| Miss Lauder shares Genes
friendship with Thornton Wilder
the author, and the three have
spent much time together in thG
out of-doors in and around Green
wich.
Tunney Is an excellent dancer
and so is Miss Lauder, but ] be
lieve he never has taken her to ;

going out to canvass the vote. Mind
tul, perhaps, OF the widely-accepted
doctrine that campaigns must be
won in the final hours before cleo

for the most part to let their OPP
ponents trot out their issues and dis
close before and as much as they
will of democratic strategy.
There appears at this stage
definite determination to keep the
Hoover organization in hand. On
three separate occasions within the
week prominent republicans have
warned the rank and file against
oNercontidence. The word passed
down was that there is nothing to
worry about, but that no one should
suppose republican nominees are
elected by default.
1t is evident, too, that the Hoover
managers have not fully decided on
tempt for electoral votes in the
south. To set up real party organi-
cations in states where there have
been none for years requires time,
money and patience. In the present
instance it might require a decision
as to how far the republican party,
as such. is willing to go along with
the southern democratic boilers led
by Bishop Cannon. Under the name
of "anti-Smith democrats" these ele-
ganizing state groups and they are
anxious to have associated with
these efforts. if possible, some ex-
