has been made to appear that I mar
ried a man who was the chum of my
son Scott. This is not true.
"I have known Mr. Howard for a
number of years. His family in New
York have known my family for years.
I knew Mr. Howard before he entered
Princeton, but it was in Allentown,
Pa., that I knew him more intimately.
I had a summer home there and his
people also maintained a residence
there.
"My daughter, Mary Louise, will re
main here with us." said Mrs. How
ard. "My son has decided not to go
to college, and he, too. will go into
business here. My children are living
with us and they will continue to
do so."
