Had Delloie, with her youth, her beauty and the possession of one of the largest fortunes in the country wen a prince they would have taken It as a matter of course. Even if Del lera, with her dashing carelessness of consequences, had eloped with one of the chaufTcurs who care for her cars, they would hardly have been surprised. But this small-town son of the small-town undertaker, with the engagement nnneunced In a per fectly regular fashion well, one doesn't expect anything se normal from heiresses. Dellera Tells Chums of Her Engagement The engagement was announced, net at the handsome Lake Ferest mansion of the nineteen-year-old millionaire, but nt the modest little home of her aunt, Mrs. E. J. Baker, In St. Charles, a few miles away. There were no liveried butlers, no shinned quartet, no admittances through the pages of the social reg ister. The pnrty was just an old-fashioned gathering of the chums of Dellera when she went te the public school in St. Charles, before she was mistress of the millions. They played guessing games, and t the close of the evening Dellera slipped the diamond en her finger, whistled down the basement stair and dragged up her fiance, his father and his mother. Interviewed after the announce ment, the boy who draws pictures for n living and the girl who is bored with the million-dollar collection of foreign pictures locked up in her Lake Ferest mansion, told of the romance that dates back eleven years, and that was net Interfered with by the periodical trips en which lMlera's father took her te Hono lulu, te England, te France, te Oheranimergau. "I always liked Lcs," she said, "AtfAV! W.VlAM t knllt M . J h .. ill I vvit nucii iiu ucab jiic in u swim ming contest. When we were In the sixth grade at school I liked him, and I remember the ether kids used te tease me and call me Mrs. Nor Ner rls. Even then I rather liked It." Dellera, the girl with the million millien million lellar jewel collection, with a town "use In Lake Ferest, a winter home in Pasadena, a summer ledge in the Wisconsin weeds, with a fleck of motorcars, always was "folksy" and a favorite of "Main street," her friends say. They recall the fate of a young Lnke Ferest suitor who remonstrated with the heiress be cause she once dismissed the nurse and wheeled Reberta, her young sis ter, ' up and down the aristocratic paths of Lake Ferest. She kept en pushing the perambulator, and when her snobbish young suitor objected te her playing nurse-girl and ex pected him te accompany her she dismissed him summarily. Thus the arrangement her school friends arc making for an old-fashioned "shower" te present the bride with aluminum kettles, cheese dishes, guest towels and kitchen utensils is quite suited te Dellera's tastes. "I don't want a fancy wedding," she said. "I guess Les and I will be married very quietly. Of course, I want my family there, and his, and the boys and girls in our home town. I'll have Wilda Blanchaid play the wedding march. She's one of my best friends. Ne church wed ding and ushers for me." Dellera's plans for her domestic life are as simple as her wishes re garding the ceremony. "We'll build a bungalow," she said. "Will you live In St. Charles?" she was asked. The heiress turned te her fiance. "Yes, won't we, Les?" "We will," answered that young man in nn nuthnrltntlve fnne nA1lin HA.

Belgium, Helland, Germany, and letters in every one from "Les. When the heires enteied Germany, having heard tales of the robberies et foreign travelers, she took her preeleut dlamund from her linger and concealed It en her person. "I wasn't going te risk having that stolen," she eald. "It belonged te Les' grandmother, and even if It hadn't, the fact that he gave it te me made It tee precious te risk losing." Although Dellera watt taken te all the places of interest throughout Eu rope, she received the greatest thrill of all at Oheranimergau, where she taw the l'asslen l'luy. The thrill was net due te the grent dramatic spectacle, however, but te the fart that the name of her fiance was linked te an Incident that occurred. "I wanted a pirture of the man who plajed the rele of the Christ," said MNs Angell. "There was only ene photograph left, and the mnn in charge of the photographs gave that te me. lie tlinibt it into an envelope, and I paid him. Then I saw a name written n the envelope. The name waa 'Ner- .-,' Lester's name. Wasn't that range? I have never been able te jure it out, but it impressed me very nuch." Dellera brought back from abroad a candy box full of photographs nnd snapshots, just as any ether girl trav eler would, and impressions of a plcnu ant time, except for being dreadfully seasick. These photographs she gleefully showed te "Les" upon her return. "I did one marvelous thing with my eamera." she ald. displaying a picture of a tall, straight tower. "I took u picture of the leuning tower of Pisa, and it rnme out straight. Evry ether tower I photographed was wobbly, but I straightened the leaning toner. I guess I'm geed." "I guess you ere," echoed Lester, looking net at the photograph, but ei.iluating the work of another art M, in her countenance. Dellera has a round, girlish coun tenance, with n glowing color, eyet that are a deep brown and that glow with animation, looking out from under dearly marked, arched brews. She uenrs simple, nlain clothes, likes out- oer .lxirts. and gives little evidence. In her simplicity, that M00 a day has been spent en her for years. Despite Simple Tastes, She Costs $300 a Day An neenuiuing filed in 1021 showed that SlTtl.OOO was spent en her in th two preceding jears, or ..100 a day. When she was eighteen, Miss Angell came into control of $.'00,000 of her .S3S.000.000 e-tate. The $300,000 win a separate bequest of Mr. and Mrs. Jehn W. Gates and their feii, the lat Charles Gates. When Dellera Is twenty-one, which will be next month, hhe will hae full charge of the Income, which is new in the hands of her father, who was named by the court as busi ness manager of his daughter's million t.
