"July 21, 1905 - Special to The News.
An automobile affair that is said to have culminated in the engagement of a Colorado Springs society girl to the son of a Standard Oil magnate is the dainty morsel that is being munched over tea cups in the fashionable set just now. Meanwhile the young woman's family denies that any such romantic attachment exists between their daughter and the young man who scattered coin right and left in Colorado Springs a season ago. a
That is, the family says “there is no announcement to be made, but when there is they will make it.” Friends of Miss Ethel Hawks say she is engaged to Joseph Reid, son of Lyman Reid, a Kansas millionaire. Miss Hawks herself is not here, having been in California the past year, and young Reid, too, is far away. He Is sojourning at Nice, France, with his uncle, Joseph Worden, a wealthy American, who spends his winters in Paris and his summers automobiling on the continent. Just now he is having built at Belgium one of the largest automobiles in the world a 110-horse power machine in which he and his nephew will do some fancy stunts on European soil before returning to this country. It was when young Reid, who is a Yale student, came to Colorado Springs last June to spend his vacation that he met Miss Hawks. He was presented to her, the story goes, while out automobiling.
The meeting was quite by accident, a mutual friend Introducing them In a crush on the street. It was an accidental meeting, however, that was followed up the next day by a formal call, and the day following by another call, and still more calls as the days went by. There were auto parties, trips to Manitou, luncheons at the Antlers hotel and the Cliff house, jolly affairs at the Cheyenne Mountain Country club, dancing parties at the Casino, and always young Reid had no eyes for anyone but the Colorado Springs girl. He blew dollars at a rate that broke all wind records, and got him the name of being the biggest spender that ever struck Colorado Springs. Hotel men and livery keepers sought his patronage, the best was always at his disposal, and he was the big lion of the social set, in which Miss Hawks is a leader. And when he left to return to hts studies at Yale, knowing ones scented an engagement.
The months have flown by and no announcement of it has been made, but the other day a tip came from the coast that Miss Hawks would soon return to Colorado Springs, and from the East came another story that as soon as Reid could break away from sunny France, he was coming to this country, and immediately out West, to claim as his bride the Colorado Springs girl. Meantime society Is speculating on one of the most brilliant matches of years in Colorado Springs. Miss Hawks is the daughter of Henry S. Hawks, a mine operator, who made his money In Cripple Creek. The family is one of the best known of Colorado Springs. Miss Hawks is not only very attractive, but has had the advantages of foreign travel and education. The Reids are old Standard Oil people, young Reid’s grandfather, it is said, being one of the organizers of the Rockefeller millions. Reid is an only child. Mr. and Mrs. Lyman Reid were at the Antlers hotel in Colorado Springs a few days ago. They have gone East, but may return in a few weeks and take a house for the summer. Last season the family occupied the Ehrlch house on North Cascade avenue."
