THE LATEST FAY0RITE
OF the Prince of Wales is a Motor
ious oourtesan.
He is A CONSTANT VISITOR
To Her DomiciIe.--T,he Unbecomlng
Conduct OF EngIand's Future King.
No Wonder that the Good People Of
Britain are Growing Disguised.

LONDON, June 21.-For a man who
claims to be the censor, the mentor
and the supreme ruler Of English So
ciety, the champion of proprieties, the
Prince Of Wales conduct is scarcely be-
coming. That be is a constant visitor
to the house of Lord Marcus Beresford,
whose establishment is presided over
by tho lovely but exceedingly notorious
Mrs. Charlie Butler. The latter is the
daughter OF tho late General Ridley,
who eloped from her first husband,
Colonel Kingscote, of the artillery, with
Captain Charles Butler, of the Horse
Guards, IN officer whose claims to fame
arc based upon his record asa cr1cketer
and as the first discoverer OF Mabel
Gray, the London counterpart OF the
Parisian, Coral Pearl.
Subsequently the divorce court per-
mitted Mrs. Kingscote to contract q
marriage with Captain Butler. Matri-
mony, however, in its legal FORM
proved fur too commonplace to suit her
viows, aud she, in course Of time, aban-
doned Butler for Lord Beresford. Once
more she figured as the heroine OF dl-
vorce case. Lord Marcus being the CO.
respondent. But, although the charges
against her were proved, yet the char
acter of Butler was such that he was
held to have been cognizant and con-
senting party to her infidelity. The re-
suit was that the Queens Proctor inter
yened and the divorce was refused.
Since then she has lived openly with
Lord Marcus Berestord as his wife.
HER MANY LrAIsoNs.
Although the number of her liaisons
has been such that she is popularly
known by the name Of Unlimited
Leo" and that at the time Of her last
appearance in the Divorce Court it was
suggested that the entire Carlton Club
should be included in the list OF CO.
respondents, yot her boudoir draw.
ing rooms are crowded with portraits Of
the Prince OF Wales, bearing his royal
autograph, and in many cases q low
words OF affection and admiration for
his "Dear Leo"
Another faux menage of the same
character is that OF Sir Frederick John
stone, the well-known sporting baronet
On several occasions, whom the Prince
had paid his customary spring visit to
the Riviera, he has stayed with Sir
Frederick at the latter'sl lovely villa near
Nice.
The Indy, who, on these occasions,
has acted as hostess to the Prince, and
figures as tho mistress both OF the es-
tab!ishment and Of It's proprietor, is
Dady Capel Brooke, now widow, but
formerly the wife Of the late Sir Capel
Brooke, from whom she eloped with
Sir Frederick, Johnstone. Although both
she herself and her lover are now free
to legalize their relations by marriage,
thoy seem to fear their matrimony
would destroy the piqnancy Of their re-
lntions, and accordingly have deter
mined to dispense with its bonds. Al
though they live openly together, their
liaison is of the most shameless and
public character, it does not prevent
either the Prince Of Wales figuring
openly as their guest, nor does it inter
fere with Sir Frederick's status as one
of the most welcome guests at Marl-
borough House. He goes there by tho
name Of Freddy" and is treated by
the entire family as tho AMIGO Della
Casa.
