General.
From the Boston Herald
Mrs. Brewster is the handsomest
woman in the cabinet parterre. Per-
haps you have heard of the romantic
life of this elegant woman who would
shine in any society in any land. She
was the daughter of Robert j. Walker,
OF one time Secretary of the Treasury.
She accompanied Admiral and Mrs.
Semmes to Europe. and fell in love
with a French gentleman, n NJ.
Delon. A marriage followed and a
repentance came only too soon, but
not before a daughter and two
sons were born. The unhappy mar
rage was terminated by Delon's
death. and the widow, poor in purse,
was given q position in the depart
ment over which her father once had
control. The present Attorney-Gen-
eral-always an admirer of beauty i
women-met her and offered her his
hand and wealth and his name for
herself and her children. "fou are
beautiful" he said, land / am hide
Gus, but it will not be the first instance
of the mating of beauty and the
beast, and although you may never
love me, you shall never regret mar
rying me-" The three children took
the step-father's uame. Andre be-
came Andrew, Marc, Mamie. But
the younger hoys name has escaped
my memory at this writing. All have
been well cared for and had every
kindness bestowed upon them. There
has been only one issue of the present
marriage, a boy, of whom his father
is extraragantly fond. l saw a pic
ture of the two taken together, the
face Of the brilliant man with the
terrible scars which he will bear to his
dying day, and the fresh, sweet face
of the boy beside him.
