on A trip TO Europe she met MIR. Tree:

Louis to the growing city OF Dallas.
This was about dozen years ago. She

Tor she does not even now look to be

For Years the happy couple reigned
supreme in the midst OF their social
admirers. Money came to the hus-
band in flood and handsome enter

Star State were wont to take part, were
the talk OF the goSsips. They hred in

the bidding Of their beloved mistress.
When she drove down to the city her

as charming, vivacious, wilful and high

was no open breach-just gradual
widening OF the little rift. He would
not acknowledge any shortcoming.
She was too indignant aud spirited 10
seek a reconciliation. He continued
his career Of gNyety, always in the
most circumspect mHnder. She grew
colder and colder towards the man she
loved.
Finally there was q rupture and the
vile and husband were go estranged
that friends had TO assist in bringing
them together. The husband pursued
his own course and the wife, left to her
sell, became more and more devoted to
amateur thcatricNls, in which she was
ever the leader.
Mrs. Irrelevant came to this city two
years ago. Many OF the friends Of the
family only knew that she had sepa-
rated from her husband, but 1t was
given ont that this was simply because
the lady had decided uuon histrionic
career.
a reporter obtained an audience with
the lady at her cosy apartments in the
lnterlakcn, next door to the Hotel Nor

modest in their appointments, far more

Her big brown eyes at times lit up with

tears. 1t was with the utmost reluct-

OF her troubles.
