person to the invitation of the host, and at
once accepted it, sending word to her nurse
to Join her with her baby son. There she
has been, and there she will remain, till she
goes on the stage to f'join the innumerable
caravan" that moves from place to place at
the caprice of the public. In the meantime,
she is the gratis guest of the house, with all
its privileges and none Of its obligations.
"When Mary Blaine succeeds in her chosen
profession she can pay u.s." the hotel folks
say, land if we never get cent from her
we will still be in her fathers debit
A chum as pretty ana poor and proud as
herself called the other day to go shopping.
The first purchase made was a pair OF
window-worn shoes, which retail at So and
were bought for 81 so. They fitted to per-
lection, and, with the dressing Mary
Blaine knows how to make with ink and
glycerine, will defy scrutiny. They bought
remnants of silk and henrietta cloth, with
which they made two empire suits, aided by
a cheap seamstress- Never mind" the
young mother said, I'VE can afford to scrape
up wardrobe now, but wait till I am
famous and you'll see the swell dressmakers
soliciting my orders. She expects to make
a furore. She is a beauty if there was ever
one. In figure she is slight and doll-like.
Her head is beautifully put upon her
shoulders, and carried with an air OF jaunti-
ness that is both winsome and admirable.
Her face is as fair as a child's, and her
eyes are as bright as sapphires. She has
little white teeth, fine features, and name
of ash blonde hair that cannot be kept in
place, and is never SO beautiful as when in
disorder. But the facts as to her ability as
an actress are not so readily obtainable.
She is being most industriously coached,
and NAV acouit herself fairly
DIVORCE BY MUTUAL CONSENT.
As to the proposed divorce, there will be
no elimination in it anyhow. Young Mrs
Blaine admits that her husbands failure to
support her, and his abandonment of her,
are all that he is guilty of 1t is agreed in
both families that the trouble grew out of
the brides refusal to be controlled by her
motheI-in-law.
Mrs. James G. Blaine, Sr.. belongs to the
Brahmins of New England and when the
only semi conventional. though convent
bred girl came to live in the family she un-
dertook her training. She did not like the
girls manners in the parlor, at table or in
company; She did not like her dress, nor
her vocabulary; she objected to her social
forms and objected to her friends, and not
withstanding her willingness to correct her
mistakes and amend her list of adiectives
and acquaintance, the willful young wife
kicked, and kicked so hard that Jimmie
himself was alarmed, and asked to be ex-
cused for living.
The crisis was reached when some visit
ing babies came to see the family, and
brought their whooping coughs with them.
James G. Blaine III was in prime health,
and not caring to test his lungs with the
visitors, Mrs. Blaine grabbed up her crow
ing youngster and declared her intention of
going to New York at once.
THEY NEVER SPEAK.
Knowing that her finances were low, the
family took no notice of the threat, but
when the Southern girl wired to her grand
mother for money and got it in less than an
hour, there was CONSERVATION and an atmos-
phere heavy with warning. At that time
the two James G. Blaines were at Mount
Desert and when the visitors left the fam
lily mansion and the heads of the house had
returned, the wayward young wife also re-
turned. She went at once to her room, but
found the door locked and poor Jimmie in
side. After knocking the dressing off her
knuckles she threw herself against the door,
Fedora fashion, and cried out: eff you
don't love me, say so, Jimmie; but for Gods
sake, let me in"
Mother Blaine said, "we won't have
any of this dramatic nonsense" and sailed
past the fearful blonde, who wrung her
pretty hands over the polished staircase,
and then ran down to the depot got on
New York train, and fell into fit of sick
ness that threatened to kill her, but changed
its mind and got her an engagement to star.
The Blaines and Nevinses hold no inter
