..At that 70 was her own husband who

learned Yesterday that while Colonel
Skinner was IN New York few weeks ago
....r. we're carried much further than
u lrsmed Of by the friends of both
rrt,s t0 the quarrel. Indeed. a duel
i,e,ar the Colonel and Mr.. Wise was so
n1.A under consideration that Mr.. Leslie
Trrr4. o. second, had been sent TO Air.
Nice with formal challenge. The only
rn,0uf.e challenge was not presented
v.sfrat the lawyer immediately on re-
c.yr. Mr. Bruce said that his wife's
apology bad been written and was on the
vs,to Colonel SINNERS hotel.

There very good chance that unless

DID SoT CARE TO pR INVITED.
"Ibe papers are entirely wrong in harp
l1C upon the fact that Miss Greene was not
invited 90 the Assembly dances. The fact
Sis, Greene did not care one snap OF
lri finger about the dances. She had too
Lsly invitations without Mrs. Wise or her
e. What panied us so deeply was the
49, that Mrs. Wise attacked Miss Greene
ile open committee"
Ms. Wise SAYS that Miss Greene cut
heron the street. Is that true :"
~ lnteed Miss Greene is not even
so4ualted with Mrs. Wise. and remem-
itf hearing her say one day that all she
ireN about Mrs. Wise was that she had
blonde hair aud husband with brains"
have YOU any idea what motive Mrs.
WISE could have had"
chn think Of nothing unless il be 0
Vonal.s moilve-that is, petty jealousy.
..s' Greene has lived in the North so long
ili she bias acquired social position
l-,e which not even Mrs. Wise's money
glu husbands ability could give thai
.al' when she came to New York some
year. ago. Her social position IN Rich.
