MOGK WARRIAGETO | SATISFY FRIENIS Dissppointed Gomple However, | Are Really Wed Later New York, Jan. 17 (®—Patrick | Kearney, playwright, and Miss Eljza- beth Russell, artist's model, were re- wealed today to have gone through a mock marriage caremony rather than disappoint assembled guests when Miss Russell was refused a license because she could not prove she was 20. The couple yesterday obtained a license when Miss Russell produced an affidavit signed by her mother and they lated weme married by a clvil ceremony. The mock marriage took place at Kearney's apartment last Thursday, and was described by Earl Simmons, also a playwright, as carried out despite the lack of a license in order not to disappoint Otto H. Kahn, KEugene ‘O'Neill, Floyd Dell, Horace Liveright and ther guests. “Imagine,” said Simmons, “invit- ing Otto Kahn to a wedding and then having no wedding. We simply had to stage a wedding, 80 we got Lewis Browne, an author who formerly ‘was a rabbl, to agree to go through the form of a ceremony. None of the guests were aware of the fact that the wedding wasn't strictly bona fide. - Horace Liveright acted a8 best man. Floyd Dell read a lot of .poetry or something and a fine time was had by all.” Mr. Kearney, who is 34 ycars old, d@ramatized Theodore Dreiser's **American Tragedy.” It is his third marriage. Miss Russell also had been married previously. The couple met at a party on New Year's day.

Before the Civil wer the tavern, knewn as the American house, was the social center of this part of the state. And Fanny Read, the inn- the countryside, A few very old rvesidents of Han- cock can remember her as she was in those days. There was a dark curl that hung on & white shoulder, There usually was & red rose in her hair. There was slways a smile on her face, an eager, provocative twinkle in her eyes. Fanny Read en- joyed life hugely then, and knew that romance would surely come to her very soon. It came—with the war. The 101st New York infantry, mobilising up-state, camped in Han- cock for a few days on its way south, The townspeople made much of the soldiers. There were parties, banquets, dances, socials in their honor, The crowning event was the ball given in the American house the night the weldiers marched away. And it was at this ball that Lieu- (tenant Bellows, a tall young infantry {ofjcer, and Fanny Read pledged their troth. Their pledge was a kiss. . They stood on the wide veranda, be- tween the tall plllars—gleaming white then, though blackened now by smoke and dust. The ball was over; one by one, the men were say- ing’ their goodbys. The young. lleu- tenant bent over the girl on the veranda. “I'm coming back for you,” he said. “You'll find me waiting,” said the girl. The two kissod, while the August moon hung over the tree tops. Then the bugles rapped out their sharp calls, the company fell in and the young lieutenant rode away. That was the parting, and the be- ginning of Fanny Read's imprison- ment. The first three weeks of her im. prigonment were not voluntary, ac- is said infuriated at the announce~ ment of her engagement, locked her Cream of the cording to tradition.
