Mr Collingworth is a member of the firm of the Garvin Machine Company, at Spring and Varick Streets, and is wealthy. Mrs Van Storch is also wealthy, having inherited the best part of the estate of the late Bailey Hobbs, who had adopted her as his daughter.
More than half a century ago, Mr Collingworth and Mrs Van Storch were playmates in Yonkers. When he reached his majority he married Miss Rockwell and Mrs Van Storch was married.
