Morning Oregonian November 15,1904
Jilts Wealthy Clubman
Butte Society Girl Marries her Childhood Lover
Mollie Walker Deceives Her Mother In Order To Get Her Trousseau
Butte,Mont.,Nov.15-Society circles in this city are agog over the action of 
the pretty 19 year old Mollie Walker, one of the best known belles of Butte's 
social swirl in jilting Clyde M.Graves, a well known millionare clubman of 
Spokane, two weeks before the day planned for their wedding, and thismorning 
marrying Glen Harrington, son of Fayette Harrington,a prominent banker of 
Butte.
Harrington had been Miss Walker's lover since childhood, and though Mrs. 
Walker opposed the union, it was understood that the two were engaged. The 
first surprise came when the announcement was made at a swell dinner party 
given at the Walker home that the daughter was to marry the Spokane clubman, 
whom Miss Walker met while visiting at the home of Judge Cullen, in Spokane.
An elaborate trousseau was prepared and Mr. Graves visited his fiancee a week 
ago to perfect the final arrngements for their wedding, when to his dismay he 
found that Miss Walker had changed her mind and returned to the hero of the 
romance of her school days.
Gossips declare Mrs. Walker's opposition to the marriage of her daughter to 
Harrington and her refusal to procure a trousseau prompted the girl to resort 
to a subterfuge by becoming engaged to the Spokane clubman to secure the 
necessary clothing for the wedding with Harrington.
Mr. and Mrs. Harrington left tonight on a trip to New York and abroad
