of a lovable disposition and very popu
lar, though she waB little known in Wil
mington the Iren gate doing its duty
In keeping her sheltered and protected.
Among her father's worker nt the
plant she wns a great favorite espe
cially among the elder powder men who
had been pioneer empleyes of the Indus
try. Every year when they were given
the all-day picnic by Alfred dit Pent
she would visit them nnd their families
and talk with them. Te her they worn
people just as Interesting ns any titled
count or lady she hed met abroad.
Alicia Net Snobbish;
Shuns Class Distinction
The gardener's baby was just as in
teresting te her as the baby of any of her
multimillionaire friends. She had abso
lutely no iden of class distinction, she
was never snobbish or "stuck up." Her
mother decided early in life that her
education should be such that she would
be as unaware ns possible of artificial
barriers between persons, and that she
would net consider the family tree the
most important thing In a person's life.
In January, 10120, Alicia's mother
died. And Alicia was left with no fina
lly, and mere than n million dollars
in her own name. She went te the
funeral in the severest of black (Irenes
with a narrow white bnnd in the neck.
People saw her, nodded their heads
approvingly and said. "Alicia always
did dress simply and ln the best of
taste."
In the fall she sailed for Paris. She
wns seventeen, attractive looking, with
dark hair and dnrk blue -gray eyes,
wealthy, gifted. If ever any one could
have afforded te have defied conventions
it was she. But n reckless, gnv career
evidently held no attractions for her.
She hnd never gene any place unchap unchap
erened in her life, nnd se she asked
Mrs. Trlppe te accompany her te Paris,
where she was going te study under
Jean de Rcstke. Ifmennt hard work;
it infant strength, and It meant en
durance. But it also meant a career,
which was what Alicia wanted mere
tban nnythlng else, se she sailed en the
Aquitanin.
And .en the Aqultnnia was Hareld
Glendennlng.
And en the Aqultnnia the idea of
becoming Mrs. Hareld Glendennlng be
gan te nave its attractions for Alicia.
Ne Glamour or Riches
in Life of Glendenning
The man whom she had met when
he was employed as a chemist ln her
stepfather's power plant during the
war was new a Rhodes scholar, n man
of brilliant mind and untiring energy;
a man prominent In his town ns u
worker in the First Congregational
Church of Nerwnlk, en interested mem
ber of the Men's Club nnd the Chris
tian Endeavor.
He had none of the remnnce, none
of the wealth, nene of the secinl posi
tion behind him that had surrounded
Alicia's life. His training, environ
ment and family connections arc di
rectly opposite te hers. But these dif
ferences evidently made the man all
the mere fascinating, and the shel
tered, protected girl, who was going
abroad te tread the thorny path which
would eventually lead her te success!
an an opera singer, agreed te become
the wife of the penniless hchelnr who
was ulse going abrend, en his first
trio, te spend three years nt Oxford.
Hareld Sanferd Glendenning is twenty-five
yenrs old, and was born en
Newton avenue, Xerwulk. His mother
was May R. Scofield, and his father,
who has been dead for seven years,
was Percy Glendennlng, n mall-cur-rler
for the Norwalk Posterfive for
twenty-nine years one of the original
carriers of the office.
Hareld has one sister, Morien, who
Is twenty-three years old, and the
wife of Farnhnm D. Mlddlcbroek, bend
salesman. They live with Mrs. Glen
dennlng nnd her mother. Lnurn B.
Scofield, widow of William II. Scofield.
Hareld's uncle, Hareld Glendennlng, is
the leading druggist of the town.
The family, who are highly thought
of in Nerwnlk, ere In moderate clrcum clrcum
btunces. In later jenrs llnreld's father
was engaged In real cMate piometlou.
He purchased, very cheaply, the oil
Jonathan Camp property en wlilfli the
home at Ne. 1 North Cannen street,
htands. He developed the surrounding
z,
named it for his daughter Marien, but
Inst yenr it was changed te Glenden
nlng in honor of the promoter.
The home Is u comfortable two-story
frame house, an unpretentious Ameri
can home, with a large perch almost all
the way around, surrounded by shrubs
and trees. In no way is the contrast
between the material position et two
families mere clearly shown than by
n comparison of their hemes: the Glen
dennlng home, small and simple, and
the du Pent home, the palatial Ne
mours, which centnlns mera than a
hundred rooms and grounds' of 2000'
acres.
The du Pent house is built along
French lines. The main hallways ex
tend the entire depth of the house,
with long French windows en a Icvel
with the lloer nt cither end. They open
en stone terraces and ln the rear over
look n forest. In the rear Is a marble
peel, which centnlns goldfish.
Girl Lives in a Palace,
the Bey in a Cottage
Almest as great n contrast can be
found In the personalities of the moth
ers of the two yeuns people. Hareld's
mother is a retiring person, a "home
body," neighborly nnd kind, interested
in everyday affairs of her friends, who
lives for her children. Fer the last
jenr she has been practically confined
te the house by ill health, and the first
Interviews with reporters exhausted her,
se Mrs. Schefield, Hareld's grandmoth
er, has te sec all visitors who come te
ask about him.
Hareld is tall and well-knit, with
his mother's coloring nnd her brown
eyes. He bears a striking resemblance
te her.
He is scrleus-mlnded, and has been
exceptionally studious from childhood,
and he 1ms led his classes all through
his school career. He first attended
school in a two-room schoolhouse.
.known ns North Center, near his boy
heed home. He was graduated from
the Nerwnlk High Scheel ns the honor
student. His unusual brilliance was no
ticed by all his professors particularly
in chemistry, which was his favorite
subject.
He entered Dartmouth 'College in
September, 1017, and tutored students
te get the money te continue his edu
cation. When he was only twenty yen
old he received his A. II. degree.
After his grnduatien from college he
went te the du Pent Powder Works
where he worked as u chemist ln the
Government service. His recommenda
tion for Government cervlce wus mode
en his excellent record nnd evident
ability.
Following the nrmlsticc Hareld was
tiausferred by du Pent te the main ex
perimental station of the plaut, where
he remained till September 18. 1010.
Upen leaving the plant he entered the
University of Columbia te get his de
gree of master of arts. During the term
lie siilTeied it nervous breakdown but
he completed the course ln June. 1020,
und wus recommended by the New
Hampshire Committee for n Rhodes
scholarship,
Glendenning Plans te
Practice Law in England
In the fall he sailed for England en
the Aquitanin. He entered Merten Col
lege, Oxford. He will be graduated from
there in June, 1021, doctor of philos
ophy will be one of the degrees he will
receive.
Glendenning Is taking engineering a
one of his courses, but he plans
te enter the British bur and devote his
attention te pntcnt law. There is the
possibility that he will love abroad if he
and his bride de net return te this
ceiwitry Immediately after his gradu
ation. She is plunnlng te continue her
studies under Jean de Rcszke after her
mnrrlngc.
Nene of the members of the Glen
dennlng family will be present nt the
ceremony. The brlde'H uncle. Majer
Edward Bradford, will attend the wed

New Yerk, who will be the bridesmaid.
Alfred I. du Pent, who did net at

ln February, 1017, will attend the wed

Uncommon Sense : Manners Will Make a Market

and louts In se-called pollte society.
The boy who seems afraid te say

who returns surly answers te civil ques ques

te him, Is one sort of u lout, and u
highly offensive hert.
He Is frenucntl.v met with. He is a
rude and unmanuercd te men and women
alike.
He Is a lout when lie applies for a
position which he never gets.
He Is a lout when he falls into the
hands of the law for some miner of

GOOD manners can find a market.
They are always in demand.
People who respect themselves, nnd

Everybody, even the lout himself,
