Nan Corrigan Bates, former news- stand girl at the Vanderbilt hotel in New York, has been denied a divorce from Frank Bates, the Attleboro mil- lionaire. Mrs. Bates sued for dai- vorce on the grounds that her hus- band was Intemperate and cruel, but this was not demonstrated to the sat- isfaction of the judge who heard the case in New Bedford a few days ago. After taking the evidence under con- sideraticn for a few days the judge has refused to grant a decree. The beautiful Nan Corrigan and the wealthy and fashionable Mr. Bates were married in Danielson nearly three years ago, Judge A. G. Bill per- forming the ceremony in his office in the Dester building one night in June, of 1913. On the day of their wedding 1 they had slipped away from New York, where their romance had attracted the attention of the big metropolitan dailies, and the news stories printed were to the effect that the couple were en route for scme Massachusetts point to take out a license and be married. Correspondents throughout that state were asked to be on the lookout for them tbat the story might be prompt. ly given to the host of New Yorkers who were following the rather remark- able wooirg of the poor, but beautiful Nan Corrigan, by one of the wealth- iest young men of New England, Eluding all who sought to follow them, Miss Corrigan, Mr. Bates, their 1wo witnesses and a chauffeur, arriv ed here early in the evening in a big touring car. In those days getting a marriage license was a proceeding that could be promptly managed by non-residents, the present law requir- ing the giving of five days’ notice of intent to marry not having become effective so no difficylties of procedure terms, is to be ready for occupancy by April 15. Holiday Decorations at Israel Putnam School. The Israel Putnam school might be taken this Christmas time as a model to be followed by many of the schools of the state.

This afterncon there are to be special exercises in which the kindergarten class will have a part. This evening the pupils of the school will take part in the exercises at the community Christmas tree. Friday morning at the school, carals wiil be sung and the pupils will march through the building. At this time the young people will tender to represent- atives of the Salvation Army the many gifts they have collected and .the pen- nies they have garnered that, through the army workers, they may do some- thing for the needy people of the city.
