Cleveland, O., Feb. 13. — The romance interrupted four years ago by her marriage was resumed by Miss Mabel Hart, who was Mrs. Philip McAbee. She was married Mon­day evening at the home of her par­ents to John Gilchrist, son of the millionaire vessel owner. It is the second time the young woman has been engaged to Gilchrist.

Years ago John Gilchrist and Mabel Hart were sweethearts in Painesville, where their parents had summer homes. It was a "settled" affair.

Then entered Philip McAbee upon the field. McAbee now lives in Muncie, Ind. Miss Hart favored him, the parents frowned, and the two eloped almost upon the eve of her marriage date to Gilchrist.

After a brief honeymoon they came home, and Frank W. Hart, the father, also a millionaire, had a car­riage waiting at the depot. The bride was bidden to choose between par­ental love and millions and McAbee. She rode home with her father leav­ing McAbee In hind.

Later she applied for a divorce, but McAbee refused to allow an ex­cuse. Finally McAbee consented to a divorce. Gilchrist and Mrs. McAbee replighted their troth and set the date.
