4 BRIDE OF OLD MAN SAYS YOUTH CAN'T JIBE WITH YEARS Mrs. Jonathan Godfrey, Who ‘Left Wealthy Husband, Will Not Return. STILL HE IS HOPING. “No Home Is Large Enough for Fancies of Extremes,” . He Ponders. (Special to The Evening World.) BRIDGEPORT, Conn., March 28.— While Jonathan Godfrey, aged club- man and wealthy manufacturer, sat in his palatial home, The Oaks, here confident that “love would find a y"’ to bring his young wife, Estelle Mudge Godfrey, back to him, she de- clared she would never return to the abandoned old man. In fact, she hinted she might begin divorce pro- ceedings in New York. “I have left Mr. Godfrey forever,” the said over the long-distance tele- phone from the home of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Hills, in the fashionable Po Paquash district of Bristol, R. I. “It fs a case of incompatibility Mt surely, requires no stretch of the im- &gination to figure out why a young woman would not be happy with an pid man. [am sorry to cause Mr Godfrey pain. I also detested the Dublicity, but it could not be helped.’ Perhaps when Mr. Godfrey ex: pressed his confidence that ‘‘love would find a way," he was thinking of an alleged pre-nuptial agreement ‘n which his young bride constituted r husband her full guardian.at-law, cording to reports of this agree ment Mr. Godfrey may, if he - so wishes, order the return of his ward wife. That such an order would ¢n tail a legal fight was admitted by all for Mrs. Godfrey if “‘of age’? and in full possession of all her faculties Foth parties, when questioned as to the existence of such an agreement, dmitted the pact but refused to go rato details The Godfrey ishly since their have entertained lav marriage in August 1919. Quite a picture was presented on the golf links or the spacious porches of the country clubs when the elderly gentleman, sixty-three years old, with a debonnaire air and athletic stride despite his advanced years, strolled about with his eighteen-year- old bride. Gossip has been at work trying to name a corespondent in the case, but Mr. Godfrey maintains that up to the time that his wife decided to leave his home “there was never an unpleasant word spoken between them. It was hinted that the wife's allowance was not sufficient, but that rumor was run to earth as false, every whim of the attractive brunnette was granted In order to enhance the beauty of her pretty feet her husband even had. her pink toes manicured. “My wife has gone,” sald Mr. God y, “but I am certain she will re wn, for I love her so." Mr. Godfrey spoke slowly and with a pathetic note He is patiently waiting in his beau- tiful mansion for the return of his youthful wife. “Why, did she go?’ he questioned himself aloud. ‘A woman's mind is bard to fathom. We did “ot quar- rel. I am at a joss to understand hy she left. She has go! that is 11 I know, taking everything except the furniture, and with a determina- tion never to return, There is noth- ing for me to do but wait, Time and thought will change her mind and she will return, “A week ago Saturday night when I returned home everything was serene,” said Mr. Godfrey. ‘'We danced for a time and then retired. “[ was thunderstruck when on Sunday she haltingly told me she felt she must leave. It was like a bolt out of a clear sky. We talked the matter over and dropped it. On Wednesday Mrs. Godfrey came to 4 sudden decision, embraced me, wept in my arms and said she must £0; ‘that there was no other course. She took all her pictures, clothes and trunks, “T Jove her so much. It te hard to bear, Our married life has been happy and never once has there been a serious argument.” It is the belief of Mr. Godfrey and idgeport society that no onp else involved, only that no house is large enough to hold the fancies of youth and age. =a DRY AGENT “DRUGGED” 2D TIME IN TWO WEEKS Bargoyne He Ha “Framed” rat 0) D For the second time within two we Prohibition Agent A.
