SADIE AND FAY IN CLOVER.
Two Actresses Who Get Much Attention
in Gotham.
THEIR MATRIMONIAL MOVES.
How Fay TempletOn and Sadie Martinot
Are Able to Wear Good
Clothes.

SpCcldl 10 the NlODe
NEW Y ORR, Feb. 1.-Two actresses
are kicking up more of cOmmotion in
this city than they ever did on the stage,
although when the foot lights did shine
on them they were objects of much
adulation as beauties. Moreover, their
present doings are not open to the sus-
picion of being advertising devices, be-
cause neither is DESTROYS of acting so
long as her present good fortune lasts.
Fay TempletOn used to be we'll known
throughout the country as a juvenile
star of small comic opera company.
She came to this city for the first time,
however, three years ago, and was
revelation to the beauX of the theaters.
She appeared for season in bur
leSque and then suddenly re-
tired into OStensibly private life
with Howell Osborne, milliOnaire's
son, and previously an adventurer in
matrimOny with another bewitching
burlesQuer. Fay had just freed herself
from Billy West, the negro miniSuel,by
means of divorce, while HOwelFS
father had bought off his former bride
with $4,000. So the way was clear to
matrimony for Howell and Fay, and
they took advantage of it. They went
to England for honeymoon tour, and
it lasted until week agO,when they re-
turned to town. Creditors of TIE friSky
young man about town are jumping on
him with law suits, but that does not
prevent him and his wife from living
luXuriously in Broadway apartment
hotel. Mrs. Fay Templeton-Osborne is
astounding the prOmenades and the
theaterS with prOfuSiOn of Partisan
toilets, and some of the eyes daZZled by
these fine clothes look on them with
cOvetousneSS as we'll as admiration, for
one of OsbOrne'S creditors has had his
lawyer prepare papers for an attempt to
seize the gorgeous wardrobe. This pro-
ceeding is not taken in the hope that it
will yield a financial return, perhaps.
but is intended to compel an exposure
of OSbOrne'S reckless extravaganza III
buying them.
THE SECOND PROFESSIONAL BEAUTY
now exciting the metropolis is Sadie
Martinez, who was comic opera JOY to
the dudes until she suddenly departed
for Europe. There was great deal of
mystery about it at the time. Now it is
all clear. She went away with Antonio
| Terry, a son and heir of Thomas Terry,
| the Cuban who left an estate of $50, 200
| about a year ago. At that time the
| young man was husband, having mar
ried Grace Secor Dalton, niece of
| William ii. SecOr, New York lawyer.
Mrs. Terry began suit for divorce six
months ago on account of the elOpement
of her husband with Miss Martinez, but
subsequently withdrew it. 1t was said
that Perry was under engagement to
wed the actress as soon as divorce
| should permit him to do SO, and that in
the meantime they went through with
some sort of ceremony, which, to
their cOnSciences, was to stand pro-
viSionally in lieu of formal marriage.
That is the way the relationship stands
at present, so far as is known. What
bewilderS the theatrico-SOcial is the eX-
ceeding splendor of Sadie Martinot'S
style of life during the month she has
been here. Her wardrobe is probably
more costly, and anyhow more snowy,
than that of any Aston or Vanderbilt
lady: her suddenly established home is
WOndrOus in furniture and decorations:
her equipageS are among the finest that
roll through Fifth avenue and Central
Park. and her own beauty is so set off
by the embellishments that she is a
daily afternoon wonder in the great
fashionable thorOughfare. She says
that she came to New York expressly to
show herself thus Respondent, for the
winter only, and that in the spring she
| will return to Paris and Vienna, in both
of which cities she has luxurious homes.
| If an actress, DESTROYS of emblaZOning
her debut on the stage, could command
the means of exploitation now enjoyed
by either Fay Templeton or Sadie
Martinez, she would be lucky.
