X CURED to me to make a list OF the
American ladies who at different per-
iods have married foreign noblemen,

i've or complete, As no Partisan opera
house Is said now 70 be complete with
out its American singer, so shortly Will
no aristocratic family IN Europe be
thought entirely alive 10 what is due to
its station without an American al
lance.
