'Peaches', 15, is Bride of Prince Charming Browning, 51, April 11, 1926

Peaches Spends Her First Day in Luxury. . . Bride of Prince Charming Browning Is at Home in 15-Room Mansion

Cold Spring, N.Y., April 11—Frances Heenan, known as Peaches to her friends and as the 15-year-old Cinderella to the newspaper public, spent the first day of her honeymoon with her 51-year-old Prince Charming, Edward W. Browning, secluded today in a 15-room house near the Hudson River.

The second Mrs. Browning, who until recently, had been confined to her room in her mother’s small Washington Heights apartment in New York suffering from acid burns mysteriously received, today was the mistress of a two-acre estate.

Her millionaire husband, whose previous adventure as a Cinderella man—the adoption of Mary Louise Spas, later annulled when it was found she was 21, and not 16 as was supposed—had caused him wide publicity, has promised her, she said, an estate on Long Island. But until that is built, the Brownings will live at Cold Spring.

Their wedding yesterday was attended by the bride’s parents, who are separated. Both gave their consent to the marriage, so there would be no difficulties in obtaining a license.

Miss Heenan had been living in the new home for several days prior to the marriage, she said in her application for the license.
