AN ACTRESS AUTHOR
Laura Don is unquestionaby the most versatile
woman on the stage to-day, after Sarah Bern
hardt. She is clever actress; has been photo
graphed by Sarony In the most astounding posi-
tons, without being vulgar; writes brilliant little
bits OF poetry for the magazines and clever
articles for the big papers; has had a number OF
Oil paintings admitted to the National Academy;
is an authority on antiques and bric-a-brac drives
and rides well; is an accomplished musician; has
never had a word of SANDER whispered with her
name, and is a lady. This somewhat extra
Miss Don, IS called forth by the fact that she has
just written play called the Daughter OF the
Nile" which has set the critics wild with delight
IL was heard at private reading by Miss Don,
Wnoin forgot to say was an elocutionist before a
number OF theatrical managers and several

This leads me to wonder II the Great American
Dramatst who has been expected SO long has at
last arrived In the fourteenth century costume OF
Miss Don-whom also forgot to state is esthetic.
MARRYING A TITLE.
One OF the leading topics at the clubs is furnished
by the misortunes Of the Marchioness of Anglesey.
The marchoneSS Is an American woman. She was
formerly Miss Minnie King, and lived at Sandhills
Georgia Her early history Is not well filled out,
but she was famous for her beauty, and was called
the Belle of Georgia. Her first husband was the
brother of Lord Kimberly. and by this marriage
families among the nobility of England. She
was much admired for her beauty and
a,Giesomp'ilshments, and received much social
distinction. When she became widow she
ago consented to become the wife of the Marquis
of Anglesey. The Marquis had one or two wives
living, as the story goes, but he was anxious for
third The chronicles far have failed to narrate
whether there has been much domestic infelicty
In their eight or ten months OF married life, but
the inference is that the pair were not happy
Gogetner. Thero Was no warning whatever.
One day, just as the marchioness was sitting
down to dinner, letter was brought in.
1t was from our noble Marquis, who
tersely said that he had taken his ave
Of Paris, and didn't intend ever to return to the
marchioness. 1t is also said that the marquis took
travelling companion with him in the person Of a
russian woman. few days later an advertise
ment was put in the papers by the runaway hus-
band announcing that no debts incurred in his
name would be paid unless they were on the all-
thority OF his signature This scandal is pointed
at as a warming to American girls anxious to get
tited husbands But there is little prospect of the
lesson being appreciated. When the SprigS of no
D1llty visit the country this summer our New York
bellies will set industriously to work pulling their
CABS at them.
