THIS Is th- story of a Felf-made Cinderella. It is a!o the ?tory of Mrs. Herbert M. Harriman, who, up to a few weeks ago, was plain Miss Sally Hunter. Mr. Harriman and Mis3 Hunter wero recently married in Indiana and are new on their honeymoon. Like the kitchen drudge in the fairy story. Miss Hunter was raised over-night from the comparative poverty of a walk-up apartment on New York's East side, to the fur-lined opulence of riches, social position and a celebrated name. But quite unlike the kitchen drudge, she had refused to leave it all to a fairy po l-mother. She Relieved in magic did MUs Hunter. She believed particularly in the magic that could raise one from obscurity to eminence. But she also believed that apll weavers and magic workers expected a little help frcm their bcneficiarie?. An ironical American writer has suggested that the full story of Cinderella has never been told. What happened, he asks, after the prince took her to live in his palace? What did he think when fhe mUu-ed her knife and fork? What bitter words passed between them when he tried to et her out of the plebeian habif of the kitchen? What utter humiliati.n mu?t he have felt when she appeared at her first curt function dressed up like a circu3 horss? "Alas," he must have told himself, "would that I had had a good look at her in that kitchen." All of these things must have flickered across tha rnir.d of Sally Hunter as she sat and meditated on the possible grandeurs of her future. And out cf these speculations must h.nve come the detcrminaticn to ke p her lamp trimmed a:id burning, her hair waved and her mind clear. A key to the former Mi5 Hunter's attitude is furnished by her mother, Mrs. James Hunter. "Yea know Sully has been very popular," said Mrs. Hunter commenting on her daughter' marriage to the capitalist and ox-golf champion. "She mr.kes friends very quickly. Somehow or ether all o: ht-r acquaintances have been among prominent ror-le. She often said she would not both"""" with ;;:r: others. "She has had many chances cf marriage" Cinderella mut have had oiTcrs from the coachman and the butcher y, too "but turned them ail down. She often old me she would take the right man when he came along one that waj worth while. She must have believed that Mr. Harriman v.-as worth while when she consented, for she is a very clever girl." So we have Miss Hunter looking cut upon, hie, not thruUh the cyc3 of a fatuously senti

mental girl, but with the clear gaze of one who knows what, she is about. She expected to marry some one rich and great and she knew that in order to do that she must be quite as good in all ways as the girls who are habitually wedded by the rich and the great. The Hunters, according to information furnished by Mrs. Hunter, came from Ireland. Sally was born in Belfast and had never been away from home until the whole family moved to the United States and took up their residence in New York city. Her father took employment as a car starter with the Metropolitan Railway Company Sally took up nursing and incidentally sought '" every way to broaden her outlook on life. Xursed Him in Camp Sally was good looking and she knew it Tu fact that most men stopped to look at her twi 6 taught her that she could afford to be dis 1C6 inating. The war rame on and Miss Hunter, being al ready a graduate nurse, went immediately inf" reryice As ore of her brothers was going acr0S3 with the expeditionary forces she decider? r u . uia 10 confine her wok to this country. She was assigned to the base hospital at Camp Taylor. Louisville, Ky. Maj. Herbert M. Harriman, then an oiTicer in the Held artillery, was also at Camp Taylor and was one of thoo caught in the influenza epi dcmic. Miss Hunter was his nurse. The attack was slight but the period of his convalescence gave the major ample time to study the girl. He found her tall, will-molded, with light hair and the deep-blue eyes that were put in, as the Irish say, with a smudgy finger, lie found her singularly well-informed and agreeably self-contained. She knew things and she knew when and how to express them. In the major's experience with women, an experience which had been broad and long, he had known no girl with greater charm or greater savoir-faire. She, on her side, found her patient an experienced man of the world but the sort of a man who has been mellowed by his experience rather than embittered. He was plainly a man of education and culture and cnt who wa3 used to luxuries. But there was none of that narrowness of view which led to snobbery. He was a personality as well as a person. On such a mutual understanding was the friendship between Sally Hunter and Herbert M. Harriman built up. Some cf his friends, hearing his enthusiastic descriptions of his nurse.

but it is true. I found the young woman quite charming when she came to see me. She is cultured." It was the self-made Cinderella's test th'n meeting with Mother Harriman and the preparation r.f years was justified. She had r.ot only wen the prince but the prince's family, something that only a modern Cinderella could hope to do. By that let it not be thought that Miss Hunter jumped at Mr. Harriman's proposal. She gave it Ferious consideration. lie had to repeat his offer several times, it is said, both in person and by wire. Following her visit to Mrs. Harriman, Mis3 Hunter joined her fiance at French Lick Springs, Indiana. They were married at Paoii, Ind., th countv seat, and are now on their honeymoon, which was to include a European visit and a posrin nriiund the world. This is Harriman's

ere inclined to chalk it up as another one of those sick-room idylls. A man racked with fever, they argued, would think any woman an angel who placed cool hands on his head. He fell in love with the hands and not the woman. Once he recovered his health and saw what the hand? were attached to, he usually found that her teeth advanced while her chin retreated. Nobody, of course, could find any flaws in Miss Hunter's appearance whether he was In 'good health or bad. But for a long while, it did look as if the Hunter-Harriman friendship was purely a sick-room affair. Maj Harriman went abroad with the troops. Miss Hunter stayed in, America. There was no correspondence between them. After a while came the armistice. The trocpj returned. Maj. Harriman went back to civil life. In the early summer of 1C'21 he again took sick and a trained nurse was brought in. The nursa suggested that a friend be engaged as her relief. Here the long arm of coincidence reached over and took hold of the situation. For when tha relief nurse arrived at Harriman's bedside, she was Miss Sally Hunter.

Not much was needed to revive their friendship. Not much was needed, in fact, to make it take on a greater significance. Then again Mr. Harriman was no longer held back by the disability of being alreidy married, for his second wife, Mr.?. May Brady Harriman, had divorced him a few months previous. Presently Mr. Harriman recovered, went abroad, returned and went West. Shortly thereafter New York society wa.? handed a shock in the report that Mr. Harrim.in a.r.d Miss Hunter were to be married. Mr;. Oliver Harriman, mother of Herbert Harriman, finally declared that the report was true but" not untii she and Miss Hunter had met. Mrs. Harriman has never said what sort of girl she expected to meet. All she knew of her prospective daughter-in-law was that she had been a nurse and lived m a waik-up apartment cn the East side. But the g.rl who walked calmly ir.to Mrs. Harriman's drawing-room might have been the carefully nurtured l'over of any aristocratic New York mer.sge. Following the meeting Mrs. Harriman said: "Yes the engagement is a sort o: a surprise

well his second Miss Brady. There was a divorce in each case. Her Friends Rejoice In Sally's set there is some little envy of r.er, but for the most part her friends are rtjcicir.g with her Cm the night she chose to announce y,c engagement she gave a little party at her , ip Kat Nine-ty-sixtn street.
