In Croi1ut's life of the Vanderbilts is
told the following: The suit of the
half-crazy 'Cornele' to break the Com
modore' will was approved by sever
al of his sisters; and two of them did
not like William H., the chief legatee,
and had not for years been on speak
ing terms with him. But, after set
Ting with 'Cornele,' he voluntarily
gave all his sisters 100000 each in
addition to their bequest. He drove
around one evening and distributed
this splendid largess from his carriage
he himself carrying the bonds into
each house in his arms and delivered
them to each sister in turn. The do
nation was accompanied by two in
teresting incidents, In one case the
the husband said: William, I've
made quick calculation here, and |
find these bonds don't amount to quite
$500 600 They're $3.50 short, at the
price quoted to-day. The donor
smiled and made out his check for the
sum TO balance. In another case a
husband. after counting and receipt
ing for the $500 600. followed the gen
erous visitor out of the door and said:
BY the way, if you conclude to give
the other sisters any more you'll see
that we fare as well as any of 'em,
won't vou?' The donor jumped into
his carriage and drove off without re-
plying. only saying, with laugh to
his companions: Well what DO you
think of that?'"

astonished eyes at female card parties,
but the players do not appear the least

Enen Terry's matrimonial Experience,


Ellen Terry's Matrimonial Experiences
George f. Watts, the famous portrait
painter, upon whom Queen Victoria
has recently conferred the honor of a
baronetcy, also enjoys the distinction
Of being the first, if not the only man
that Ellen Terry, the charming English
actress, ever loved. Judged by the
proverb 1.-the course of true love never
did run smooth, her affection was GER
tainly true, for the course was so de-
cidedly rough that after thirteen years
of married life it ended in divorce.
The story that is told of this first love
affair of Miss Terry is decidedly roman
tic. 1t was at an art exhibition in Lon
don, during the latter part of 1868, that
she met Watts for the first time. She
was then not quite IL years of age,
having been born in 1917 at Coven,ry
the town made world-famous by La ly
Godiya and ''Peeping Tom" Her first
appearance on any stage had been made
at the Princess Theatre, London, IS the
child Mamilius, in "A Winters tale, "
April Is, 1856. She had continued in
the profession from that date. At the
time of her meeting with Watts she had
played some prominent Juvenile parts,
and was regarded as an exceptionally
promising young actress, As she stood
looking ut an exquisitely-painted por-
trait of a beautiful lady She became so
lost in admiration of it that she entirely
failed to notice quiet, reserved gen
tleman, nearly thirty years her senior,
who stood near.
what a lovely Portrait she in
voluntarily exclaimed. ''IIow l wish |
could sit TO the same artistn'
And 50 you shall, if you will do him
that honor 1t was the quiet, reserved
gentleman who had spoken, and who
was none other than the famous pOr-
trait painter, George +. Watts.
1t was love at first sight on both
sides and the acquaintance once begun
ripened fast.
Feb. 20, 1864, Ellen Terry though
but little past II, bece me
Mrs. Watts. 1t was not long however,
before this couple found that they had
married in haste to repent at leisure.
They soon realized that there can be
no disparity in marring like unsuita-
bility of mind and purpose. After much
married misery, and much chatting
nuder the bonds of wedlock Watts OBJ
tanned a divorce from his wife in March
1877
Bearing in mind the old adage, III
at first you don't succeed, try, try
again, Miss Terry once more put her
hand into the matrimonial grab-bag in
November, 1877, and drew out Charlie
Kelley, an English actor, whose real
name is Waedell. But again she found
that she had failed to draw a prize.
After many futile attempts on the part
of herself and Kelley to jog cOntented-
" along LIES billy road in double
harness together, they agreed to disa-
gree. and have now been separated for
a number of years.
