They will be married by the Rev. Dr. Jefferson in the Broadway Tabernacle at Broad- way and 56th Street, attended by Miss Consuclo Flowerton as brides- maid and Commander Baughman, U. S. N., of the Lmperator as best man. The guests will be few but among them will be Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kdeson and Miss Margaret Sutton of Zanesville, Ohio, the artist's native city, For the past eight years Mrs, Pal- mer, & young widow, has been the artist's favorite and almost only model. Everybody in America has seen and admired her beautiful fea- tures in Red Cross posters. Another that was popular was “I Want You" (for the Navy). “I haven't had a day off since I ‘began on war work,” the artist said this afternoon at his studio in West 67th Street Asked where “they” intend to go: he smiled and said “Into the Realms of Happiness,” but declined to be more definite. Mrs, Palmer did not want to talk beyond saying “I'm too happy.” Mr, Christy first married soon after coming ‘back from Ouba and the Spanish war, Mabelle Thompson, the daughter of an army officer. Some accounts have called her the ‘first Christy girl.” One child was born to them, a beautiful girl named Natalie, who now must be all of seventeen, The Christys were divorced last spring. What started the trouble between the Christys never was made quite clear, but the public first heard of their differences when Mrs, Christy declared that she would not Iive in Zanesville, O, She wanted excitement and entertainment, she said, Christy insisted that he did his best work in Zanesville, where he had built “The Barracks,” a studio-home, on the farm onwhic bh he was born.

HUGE WAVES DRNE 100 UESTS FROM BG CONEY HOTEL Sea Tears Away Bathhouse, Boats and Fences at . Resort. DRIFTING BOYS SAVED, Taken Off After Night of Ter- ror in Crippled Launch in Sound. More than 100 guests fled from the Majestic Hotel at the foot of West 20th Street, Coney Island, before day- light this morning when huge waves swept along the shores of the resort and carried away # part of the hotel's bathing house. The rush of the sea carried away about 200 feet of the Seaside House fence, two life boats from the Seaside Park Beach Station, and all the portable stands that are used along the beach front between Manhattan Beach and Sea Gate. A high east wind was blowing all night and an unusually high tide was running. It swept over the Sea Gate bulkheads into the streets and flooded ‘the point of the island, The bulk- head at the foot of Ocean Parkway was also swopt over and the Brighton Bulkheads were overrun and the boardwalk flooded by the breaking seas. On Surf Avenue from West 25th to West 37th street, much water was carried over by the bigh wind, wet~- ting pedescrians and passengers in street cars. Seaside Park from Weat Fifth Street to Brighton Beach was partly inundated, BOYS ARE SAVED FROM DRIFTING LAUNCH, After they had been adrift for six- teen hours in a thirty-foot motor boat in Long Island Sound, two boys were rescued this morning by A.

The two boys left Clason's Point yesterday morning in the boat Imp for Fairfield Beach, Conn, At § o'clock in the afternoon the engine went dead. A heavy storm came up and the wind rose to sixty miles an hour, whipping the Sound into a tury. The Imp drifted down the Sound, the two boys helpless to direct it, At one time the craft was close to Northport Harbor, L. L and the boys rigged a towel to a pole and waved it frantically, Several persons on shore noticed the signal and waved in return, but owing to the heavy surf, were unable to put out @ rescue boat. PASS STEAMERS, BUT CAN GET NO HELP FROM THEM, Booz and Grenzach donned life pre- servers, determined to ‘try to swim ashore, but the sea was too rough. Their little boat passed Sound steam- ships and two schooners, but these vessels also feared to launch a boat and could not go close enough to take the boys off, Exhausted by anxiety and hunger, the boys went Into the cabin to rest, trusting to fate to bring them ashore.
