NEWS GIRL WINS AND WEDS MILLIONS Millionair Hates Succumbs to Attrac tion of Charming Brunette News dealer. Now York?Nan Corrlgan, the pretty little brunette who has been In charge of the news stand at the Hotel Vander bilt since It was opened In January, was slipping something off her finger Saturday when a Douglas Brown, the hotel manager approached and asked: "What have you got there, Nan?" Miss COrrlgan blushed then stam mered : "Mr. Brown. I've got to quit to night." She added: "I'm going to be married. Mr. Brown. This Is my engagement ring." She exhibited a four-carrat diamond. "Whom are you to marry, Miss Nancy?" the hotel manager asked. "Mr. Frank M. Bates," she re plied. "I myst leave you tonight and get ready for my wedding which vylll take place Tuesday at Mr. Bate's home at Attleboro. Mass." News Causes a Stir at Hotel. That little newsglrl who was to mar ry Frank Bates, Millionaire jewelry manufacturer. with factories In Rhode Island and Massachusetts, oc casioned much surprise about the hotel, although young Bates' atten tions to Miss Nancy had been most consplclous since the day the Van derbllt threw open Its doors. Miss Corrlgan is about 20. with jet black hair, big brown eyes, olive complection and a petite graceful figure. Prior to going to the Vanderbilt. Miss Corrlgan had the newstand at the Hotel Belmont. There a rich i Bugalo Widower fell desperately in love and begged her to marry him. "But there's such a difference In our ages." she told him. One of the first persons to register at the Vanderbilt the day it opened was Bates. He strolled over to the newstand to buy a hook. So fascl-1 nating was he with the pretty girl be-j hind the counter he came back every few minutes and bought a book until ? Miss Corrlgan'8 stock was depleted. Miss Corrlgan had long hours. She reported for work at t'> a. m., went home nt noon, was back at her stand j at 6 and remained on duty until mid-1 night. The first night she started for her. home. No. ?06 West Ninety-eighth! street two men were waiting to es-! cort her. One was the Buffalo wid ower, the other young Bates, who had obtained a formal introduction. "1 will go with both of you," she said. The two men glared at each other. Young Man Cute Out the Older One. Then the rivals began to pay cost ly court to the little newsglrl. Flow ers came daily. Also there were box es of sweets and other gifts. Gradu ally the younger suitor forged ahead. He proposed and she accepted. The man from Buffalo left the hotel. A few days ago Bates brought his mother down from Attleboro and In troduced her to the girl behind the counter. "My Bon. you have selected wisely," said Mrs. Bates. Then plans for the wedding were set on foot. "Would you like to see my troous seau?" laughed Miss Nancy at her home last night. "I think it pretty." She brought forth a gray Charmeuse j satin gown, with slippers and a hat to mntch. "Now don't you th'r it pretty?" she asked as she soothed out the gown. "How did I happen to accept Frank?" she continued. "Why. I loved him when he came to buy that first hook, and It nearly drove me crazy that I had no more hooks to sell him that day. I was tempted to buy them all hack and let him begin over again. Nineteen Diamonds for Her Neck, j "He's the nicest fellow. He's so I big and strong and so unaffected. But you should see what he has given me for a wedding present." Out of a drawer the girl drew a diamond nek lace. The smallest of the nineteen stones In It Is one karat and the larg est, which Is the clasp, weighs three karats. "Frank has given me an automo bile, too," said Miss Nancy. "It's a dandy.

Keating, of St. Patrick's church, made some sugges tions and gave advice to young wo men in regard to marriage that have alroady mado him famous, says a Brockton, Mass., dispatch. Here is his advice: "Women who could marry and don't are often so because they are too par ! tlcular. They usually start off in life by saying they will marry the man they want or none. Thev usually get none. There are no better people In the world today than these same old maids. "Mothers and fathers should know we'.l tho character of the man who keeps company with their daughter. Courtship in. the streets, doorways and dark parlors I do not approve of. Courtship protected by darkness Is protected by the devil. "There are two extremes of court ship; one too long and the other too short. The people of a few hours' ac quaintance do not know enough of each other. A courtship oflongstand lng is bad for both. One year Is long enough and two at the most are suffi cient. "Short courtships are the things; they help keep down the expenses. A young man in love must have in long courtships the best style of clothing, regularly bring around the bon-bons, purchase theater tickets, pay for ex cursions to the beaches. It is more expensive than housekeeping. After marriage this practice ceases. I never could understand this. As to the Widens. "I think a widow has no right to set her cap for any young man until all tte young girls have been supplied with husbands. Profiting by their first experience, they practice wiles on a man and thus draw a second prize. My advice to the young man Is to marry the fresh young girl, who has not worn the orange blossoms, In prefer ence to the widow. Believe me, you will have to be a most extraordinary man to be as good as the first hus band. "The married woman who refuses to bear children is unspeakable. Christ ian motherhood is noble. The woman who avoids motherhood Is cursed by Nature. She is a criminal before God and man. She is the worst monster on earth. "It Is folly for a woman to think she can change the habits of a man after marriage. Scan the man well who comes seeking you. Be careful of the man who Is willing to promise anything, only to gain your consent to lead you to the altar. Set a stand ard based on honor, virtue, temper ance, religion, love and strength of character. "Make up your mind that the man who is Interested all the time In creas ing his trousers and having his hair parted In the middle Is worthless. Do not marry a stingy man. Do not marry a spendthrift. "Put no confidence In the man who drops on his knees, looks up into your face with a smile and says: i'd die fer you.' You don't want him to die. You want him to live and work. "Avoid the lazy man. I have little respect for the able-bodied man who sits easily In a chair while his mother gets him a glass of water or bunts up a newspaper for him. Such a man ^an neglect to build fires when he Is mar ried. If you marry such a man you have secured a gold brick. "Watch the temper of the prospec tive bridegroom when he Is off his guard. See how ho wrangles with the conductor over a transfer. If he abuses all others except you, depend upon It that he will abuse you later. It )s temper that makes hell out of some homes. The man with a surly temper will beat your children, and. If you are not lucky, he will beat you. Meware the Drunkard. "Shun the immoral man as you would a deadly disease. You can cure disease, but for immorality there is no cure. Don't marry the drunkard. I don't mean the man who takes an oc casional glass; I mean the man who drinks to get drunk. "Beware of the $9 a week man. He says: 'We will live at mother's.' This is where mothers are a misfit. It may sound mercenary, but the girl should know how much money the prospective bridegroom is getting. Pass up the $9 a week man and wait for better fish. "They say love is a great comfort, but It falls beside an empty pantry. The heart of the woman in the street, surrounded by a lot of furniture, put out because the landlord was not paid his rent, Is not burning with love. I Makes The Nation Gasp. The awful list of injuries on a j Fourth of July staggers humanity. 8et over against it, however, is the won derful healing, by Bucklen's Arnica Salve, of thousands, who suffered from burns, cuts, bruises bullet wounds or explosions.
