Millior -ire’s Daughter Tells of Hum- ble Bridezgroom’s Manly Courtship Since Meeting Three Years Ago. (By Long Distance Telephone to The Evening World from « Staff Cortespondent.) SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Aug. 11.—Mrs. Julia Estetle French Ger. aghty, who eloped Tuesday from the Newport villa of her millionaire father, Amos Tuck French, with Jack Geraghty, the handsome chauf- feur, late this afternoon told to an Evening World correspondent for the first time the story of her meeting and courtship and her views on soclel) standards and the marriages of convenience, which she declares are the curse of American society. The Evening World reporter met Mrs, Geraghty as she came out of the humble residence of her husband's cousin, Josph H. Harris—it has a sign on its front with the legend “Joseph H, Harris, Carpenter”—and she consented to the interview as she walked to a place of meeting with her bridegroom, who was in town on business, She was simply dressed in a white waist and skirt, white shoes and a white Grecian band im her hair. “In the first place I have always hated society,” “and because of this points of disagreement were always springing up between myself and my family. They wanted me to go in for the life that all the young women of my class liked, but 1 rebelled. REAL MEN RARE. WOMEN TOO HEARTLESS. “The people in society are toa vapid, the men especially, and it was ea rarity when I met a real man among them. They all seemed inane, their interests in trivial things, except at those times when all their energies | weren't bent on money making, and thia bored me to extinction. I hads‘t been ‘out’ long before I realized that this life would never do for me. “The women seemed so heartless to me, so self-centred, living only fer pleasure and the excitement of having prettier frocks than their neighbors |and richer husbands and more jewels and So, meeting with Mr, Geraghty made me all the firmer in my determination not to be efther in or of this society you can she sald, larger entertainments. when I tell you that my understand why we ran away and were married. “Our first meeting? It was three years ago. Mr. Geraghty wae sent aroundto demonstrate a new car that my father had told me I might buy, and immediately I was attracted to him. He was eo intensely different from the men I had been presented to. He was so honest, so manly, #0 strong, and he carried himeelf ike a fine, manly man who {sn't afrald of anybody ought to carry himself ( “But it wasn't entirely his good looks that attracted me at that first meeting.
