Collett had bought the Winthrop place in Arlington
Heights, looking forward to a September date. But
when Miss Herendeed arrived in Fort Worth it didn't
take him long to point out that there was no need
for her to return to Chicago. Since her father would
not give the final word of consent, a telegram
