Her name is Florence Evelyn Whisnand. Mr. "Whisnand became the blushing recipient of a storm of con-pratulations.

The latest fortunate victim of the fad for adopting children, which seems to be sweeping New York, is the little baby found two weeks again a locked suitcase; in a far corner of the Erie station in Jersey City. The little bit of deserted humanity was turned over to Miss Frances Day, superintendent of the State Board of Children's Guardians. Millionaires heard of the dress suit case baby and tried to adopt her. Truckmen, laborers and bankers wanted her, too. But Miss Day was obdurate. "This baby is going to have a real home," she. said. "I will not let her go to a home where merely money is plentiful. She must have love."

rax wrvxE

Miss Gertrude Hassler, formerly known as the "Velvet Slipper Girl" is to have a real old fashioned wedding, after her two

years experience with a "contract" wedding.

' Several years ago Miss Hassler sued Carl G. Fisher, of Indi

anapolis auto speedway fame. She compromised for $25,000.

Then she met Frederick A. Carpenter, a Chicago business

man, who proposed marriage to her. Miss Hassler thought she

loved Carpenter and thought that he loved her, but with her disastrous experience fresh in her mind, was a bit wary. She wanted a legal contract, and she got it. This is what Carpenter signed: "I, Frederick Carpenter, by this contract take as my lawful wife, Gertrude W. Hassler, and I solemnly promise and agree to be true, faithful in words and thoughts and deeds, to protect and love and devote my life to her, to bring her the happiness and contentment she so well deserves." Since then things have changed. The contract, now a regular ceremony is to be gone through in the old fashioned way. A marriage license has been issued at Elgin, 111.
