Richest Bachelor’s Romance Wed “Old-Fashioned Girl’’ Who Admits She Can’t Cook BUT SHE’LL SING By Fay Stevenson. Coprright, 1990, by The Press Publishing Co. (The New Tork Brening World.) BW YORK’'S richest bachelor (Alexander Smith Cochran) has marned an “old fashioned girl.” At least that is the way the bride (Ganna Walska, the Polish opera singer) likes to describe herself, although she admits that she can’t cook and that she knows very little about ebiidren, “But at heart I'm very old-tash- foned,” this captivating widow and opera singor told me. For who aise but @ widow could capture the most eligtle bachelor around? And, mind you, it was doubly easy for Mmo. Walska because she has been widowed twice. At seventeen she was mar- ried to Baron Arcadie d’Eingorn, a Russian officer, who was killed in the war. Then to Dr. Joseph F. Fraenkel, ® prominent physician of this city, who died o little less than @ year ago, and now, while abe js still in black and white and lavender, she has won her third and best catch.
