A simple wedding and a domestic life like other "plain folks" is the plan of Miss Uellora Angell, $40,000,000 heiress, who refused titled Europeans for her childhood sweetheart, Les ter Norris, 21, artist, and son of Cal- Norris, the village undertaker at St Charles, Ills. Miss Angella, who is 19, and heiress to the estate of her uncle, the late John W. Gates, announced her engagement to young Norris last night. Their romance began when they attended the village school together. "I always liked Les, even when he beat me in a swimming con test," she said. "I don't want a fancy wedding," Miss Angell said. "Its going to be a quiet family affair the first part of next May." The young heiress said she wants no retinue of servants in her home. "I don't want a chauffeur," said Miss Angell. "I want to drive my own car. I guess we'll have a man for the yard and garden. Les isn't very handy at those things. Be sides, he will be busy drawing pic tures."
