Jilts Philosopher for Man With Money

Philadelphia,— Guy Carlton Lee, widely known throughout the country as a lecturer and a philosopher, sat in the St. James hotel the 4tber day contemplating a marriage license which he had procured, thinking he was to marry Dr. Hildegarde H. Langsdorf of Carlisle, Pa. He was taking one last look at the marriage license prior to returning it to the bureau with the notation: “Not Used. She married another.’’ Dr. Langsdorf became the bride of John L. Ayer ,of Chester, Pa., a wealthy young man who doesn’t have to do anything but spend his mones They were married the day before at Media after a race between the two men for the hand of the bride. In his downcast way Lee told all about it. He said he had lost and he felt grieved. "I love Dr. Langsdorf, dearly,” he said, “and I thought she was going to marry me. She seemed to doubt it, i>ut I wouldn’t take no for an answer. “I came to Philadelphia with the understanding that Dr. Langsdorf would follow me. She did. I went to the marriage license office and obtain-

ed the license. Then I met her at the train and showed it to her. She didn’t say much, but I didn’t see her again,” ■ After leaving Lee, Dr. Langsdorf went directly to Chester, where she met John L. Ayer. They went to Media and got the marriage license and later married. They did not take their friends into their confidence and no person seems to know where they have gone. The happy bridegroom, who atmaneuvered Lee, has had previous experience in the matrimonial game. Acording to the license, he was divorced for desertion seventeen days ago in Prince George county, Md. He is 48 years old. The bride is 44 years old and is well known as a contributor to medical journals.
