Among the many admirers attracted by hef

Gated few years age, visited Paris in 1869,
and there found sood-looking actress VINO

ricd with considerable pomp at Lisbon, and
the actress, although she is no reisning
queen, is treated by her royal relatives
with all the respect due to her husbands
exalted rank and she is addressed us "my
sister" by Queen Maria PA, the daughter
of Victor Emanuel, and as "her Majesty"
BY her attendants and servants. The lady,
il seems, is Yankee by birth, and has seen
a great deal Of the ups and downs OF life.
SHE was born in 1910, according 10 an &C.
count, Gin Boston, where her father was
DOOR German shoemaker, aud she has many
acn;aintaGces In New York. Her name, pre-
violls to her marriage, was Eliza HeDslcr.
She attended the public schools OF her native
CITY until she was fourteen years of age.
She was then d beautiful, rosy-cheeketl

of golden ringietS. Moreover, she pos
