He had no bad habits and was al Ways a good son and a hard work- or.” With these words Mrs. John G. Geraghty, wife of the village livery- man, expressed today her distaste for the marriage which her son, “handsome Jack” Geraghty, who eloped with Miss Julia French, heir- jess and member of the 400, had con- tracted. The bride's wealthy relatives, aghast with horror at such a union, are no more ange than are the humble liveryman and his wife. Not too proud to drive his own hacks on occasions, the groom's father, who is considered a Newport character, is in thorough sympathy with the mother’s sentiments on the mar- riage. Mrs. Geraghty added: “Love is |a furiny thing, though. We wanted |Jack to marry a girl of his own lass, and when Stuyvesant Leroy, he girl's uncle, asked Jack to keep away from his niece, I told the boy |he had better do so. | Jack Geraghty drove one of his father's rigs until this year, when he secured a job as chauffeur for one of the garagbs. !
