they were here. When the Prince and
Princess OF Wales made their memorable
tour through Ireland year or so ago
Lady Vaudeville was IN the suite of the
Prlncess. On one occasion she created
good deal of talk by driving through the
streets Of Dublin with the royal party
wearing dress made OF the colors OF the
British flag. Our Irish citizens advanced
the theory very freely that an American
girl might be in better business. the
last heard OF Lord Vaudeville he had
gone on shooting trip in India, and the
cable informed us "A few days since that
Lady Vaudeville was making her home
with Mr. and Mrs. William II. Vanderbilt
in the Grand Hotel, Paris. A queer par
are the future Duke and Duchess OF Man
chester.
NO MORE STRIKING CONTRAST
could be found to Lord Vaudeville than
the Marquis de Mores, who married Miss
Holman, New York girl whose father
mas several millions. More hats been
known Of De MOres in the West than
here, but it is likely that he will soon
grow into strong local figure now that
he has settled in New York for the pur-
pose Of pushing his business interests.
His scheme for selling beet at retail here,
which is butcbered on his ranch in Mon
tana, is bold one. II may be success,
for the Marquis has proved himself to be
possessed OF amazing energy and push.
he 10 handsome man with n silky NOUS
tache, and the typical face of II French
man. In manner he is brisk, hearty and
good natured. OF all the titled men who
have married New York girls he is about
the only one who has come to live among
us and has succeeded in winning a high
position IN the business world solely on
his merits.
Another French noblemau p who calls
himself the Marquis Croizet is famed
through the town on account Of his appe-
tite. He has lived in New Y DIRK now about
six years, and he and his amlable spouse
do nothing buteat. They are as plump as
two overfed partrdges. For time the
pair lived at the Giisey House at an eX-
pense OF $50 day for rooms alone. Then
they took apartments on Fifth avenue
half block from DeImonco's. They have
been there ever since. Many queer sto-
ries are told about the pair. There seems
to be no doubt that ne Is entitled to the
prefix of Marquis, but that means little
or nothing IN Italy or France If the family
name is unknown. A significant fact is
this, that no visiting man or woman Of
title ever recognizes the Marquis Croizet
and HIS plump wife. They eat day ana
night at the various restaurants. | was
told short time ago by gentleman con-
nected with the diplomatic service that
the wife of Croizet was the daughter OF
rich Philadelphia druggist, VINO lived in
Paris ten or twelve years after her fathers
death and then returned here as the COM
panion of CrOizet. They are decidedly
mysterious.
THE MARQUIS DE LEWVILLE.
From private letter from n friend in
London [ learn that the Marquis de Lew
vile, powdered and laced guy who was
nf
eral seasons, is in a sad way.
He is indeed almost reduced TO
working for living, and is growing more
and more destitute. 1t may be remem-
bered that he was the atlanced husband of
Mrs. Frank Leslie, who defended him
against many of the gOOd-natured attacks
of local journalists with much spirit and
fire. She finally threw him over, and now
he's on the cold and cruel world. lie
weighed about 220 pounds, wore corsets,
oiled his hair. whiskers and mOustache,
wore wOmen's shoes and gloves, and was
about the sickliest and most effeminate
specimen that we have ever seen.
Different from all Of these is the brisk
little nobleman who married the second
daughter of Mr.. Leonard Jerome. There
is no need of telling Americans who Lord
Randolph Churchill is. Still his appear
ance is so much the reverse Of the average
idea OF the dashing young political leader
that it may be of interest to describe him.
The first time | saw him he wore tight
trousers over his stocky little legs, blue
smoking jacket and little velvet cap.
His face was that OF young dry goods
clerk. and he looked just about as dis
tInguished as the average counter jumper
except for single glass which he held In
one eye by the aid of blood curdiing
grimace.
