Mrs. Chase and Her Daughters,

From an Interview with Ex-Gov. Sprague.
The ex-governor, referring to his
divorced wife, said with much tender
ness and feeling: Mrs. Katherine Chase
is a woman of iare attachments. She
has a brilliant mind and many accom-
plishments. She is woman of ar.
dent affections, and nature has been
munifcent in bestowing upon her rare
charms of person and manner. She
will bring up her daughters well and
they will make fine women. The world
has been very inconsiderate in its
treatment of her. Sne is devoting
herself to her children. to bring them
up to be good and noble women, an
honor to their blood and parentage,
and she should be permitted to fol-
low these instincts of maternity with
out intrusion OF public comment or
scandal. Every word thus uttered
she may endure, but can the children
live it DOWN. Mrs. Chase was always
a high-spirited woman, accustomed to
exercising her own will. and she will
always do that" Speaking of Mrs.
Chases means, the ex-governor said:
"Mrs. Chase is well off; she inherited
some property from her mother, who
died when young. and also from her
father. There were only two children
/ gave them $4,000, in their owr
right. Judging from her usual con.
versation in money matters and her
business tact. she must have sufficient
to make her comfortable, If used with
discretion. That she will do. learn
that her style of living near Paris is
very plain, but respectable and com.
Portable. She will probably complete
the education OF her daughters in Par
is, and viii then return to the United
States to reside"
