PANY HAS BEEN DECEIVED.
On the 23d ult Bebe Vlnlng, OF the Grau opera
company, was married to Harold De Wolfe in New
York, as has been previously mentioned in THE
STAR He took her 70 Montreal, where he has been
living at the principal hotel In grand STYLE and. 1t
is alleged paid his bills In false drafts which were
dishOnored. and he was consequently arrested
Monday. The story OF Bebe's lie, coupled with
Harold De Wolfe's, make a curious story. She was
engaged by the Grau opera company about year
ago. Her intimate friends now say that IL was not
her vocal powers but her pretty face that threw
her among the singers. De Wolfe was married a
year ago to Miss HenriQueS a daughter OF a partner
live in Morristown. He LEFT his rural home just
about the time Bebe made her first bow before
New York audience. DE Wolfe iavished flowers and
dinners upon her, and when his money ran out bOr-
rowed from Jules Grau Peter Lang, one OF the
members OF the opera company, said yesterday that
1t was well-known fact that DE Wolfe was living
more on his wits than his income. IL in vain
that the members OF the company cautioned Bebe
against the young man. and when he proposed
marriage she consented She never dreamed that
he had wife in New Jersey. She returned 10 New
York yesterday and was under the impression that
no one knew OF his arrest but those whom she her.
sell told, and 1t was apparent She had not discoy
cred that he was married TO another woman, as the
papers have been carefully kept from her by her
friends. The greatest indignation is expressed
against young DE Wolfe, and much sympathy is
also generally uttered for the first wife and family

take steps to put him In an asylum. Young DE
