Startling Eccentricity of a Wealthy En-.
glish Widow Living in Paris.
Here is an illustration of this state
of affairs matrimonial. Any one who
goes often to drive in the Bots de
Boulogne may have noted among the
habitues of the place a tall, raw-boned
Englishwoman, with hard, red, I'M
prepossessing face, who is known as
Lady P. She was an English demi-
mOndaine, who was married by her
lover, a wealthy manufa cturer, on his
death-bed, so that she might inherit his
title, together with the large fortune
that he had bequeathed to her by will.
She has lived in Paris for years, and is
noted for coming to the Bots from time
to time in state of uproariOus intoxica-
ton, when she will shrek and screech
and shake her fist out of her carriage
window an any body and every body
whose looks or eQuipage may chance to
displease her.
She was at one time forbidden all ac-
cess to the Bots for some months, be-
cause during one of these attacks she
INDUCED in threatening bowls and gest-
ures toward the Prince of Wales, she
having gone to call on the Princess and
having been refused admission. In
spite of her character and her pecul-
iarities, this improper and eccentric
dame was sought in marriage by the
chief of one of the great princely
houses of Europe. noble whose proud
pedigree and lofty title figure among
the principal ornaments of the Alma
mach de Gotha outside the records Of
royalty. The lady accepted: the pre-
liminaries of the marriage were dis
cussed and arranged, and the date of
the wedding definitely settled. But
at an evil hour Lady x decided
upon giving grand dinner party
to celebrate her betrothal to Prince
Z. 1t was very superb affair, and
the Prince was intailed in the post of
honor as host. Toward the close of the
dinner the fine wines that had been
freely supplied during the banquet quite
got the better of the hostess discretion.
She suddenly hurled tumbler at the
head of Prince Z, and shouted in
stentorian tones to her valet to. put
that man out of the house; he had come
there to steal the spoons!' That little
scene was more than even penniiess
Prince could stand, and so Lady K
lost all chance of becoming the Princess

ssEriu Go Bra

War GE1es, meant originally to keep
the fighting men aware of the place OF
their own clan In battle, or when scat.
tered in woods and hills, came down to
the baronial period, and were used by
the Anglo Norman mobiles out of con-
sideration for their Gaelic retainers.
The commonest shout was some name
of famous place or famous man with
the addition aboo, a word well fitted
for the clamor of band of fighters,
being at once more musical and less
wearying to the voice than our "hur-
rah." The Kildare retainers cried
"Crom abool" in honor of Crom castle,
a citadel in Limerick county, originally
a stronghold of the O'Donovans, which
one of the intrusive Geraldine families,
named after the town of Kildare, occu-
pied while turning Irish.
The O'Neills cried out, 'Lawv darcy
aboo" because the LAW darcy or Red
Hand was the badge of the family and
clan. The O'Briens cried, 'Lawv Laid
GRIP or 'sLaudir aboo" or Strong
Hand abool" The translator of Geof-
rey Keating's History of Ireland" sug-
gests as the meaning of aboo the Irish
word booa, victory; but analogy would
point rather to boa Cbeotha), lively,
awake, spirited; when aboo would be
an exclamation like the French alerte!
