ABARMAID'S SCONQUEST

After Many vicI--itades q. the wife OF a

There died In New York city the other
day woman who had a most interesting
and romantic history. She was Mrs. Kate

captured matrimonial prize which many
Of New York's proudest society women
would not have dis.iained.
Catherine louise Flynn 25 years ago
was barmaid in the Washington hotel In
Liverpool. Her beauty at that time In said
to have been remarkable. She was then
but 10 or u years old, simple. gay, light
hearted maiden, hut the events that fol-
lowed In rapid succession In the next four
or five years of her life turned her into
woman with more than the usual knowi-

In Texas. Like others, he fell In love with
the pretty harmaid. He was successful in
his wooing.
They were married In Liverpool, some
say at the hotel, hut that In not known pos
itiveiy. Then the young couple went Co
Paris. He fitted up in magnificent style
apartments just across the street from the
resid, nee Of the ex-Queen Isabella. For
six months they led the Rnyest Of lives.
Then Wells began to show hts real self.
He fitted mp In gorgeous style a large
gambling house which be said he intended

police closed It mp. They had heard that
he was a noted hank robber; that his real
name was Charles Bullard; that he was
supposed to be one Of the men who stole
about tfo0,0 from the Ocean bank In
New York, aud that he was wanted for
the robbery Of the Northampton bank in
Massachusetts. Americans In Paris also
heard this, and they were afraid to he seen

Then the young couple went to London,

Mrs. Wells remained In New York with
her two daughters. She always asserted
that she had been deceived by Wells or

country she found he had q wife and two
children living. Then she determined 10

keeping this lodging house that she made

The summer girl is out with new
wrinkle, II discounts the suspenders
by about 100 per cent, although tho
shoulder straps are pressed into service
I'm conjunction with 1t.
The new idea is nothing more or less
than pair of corsets worn outside the
blouse.
A reporter encountered the new
wrinkle yesterday ON bridge train and
sustained quite n severe shock. A pref
ty little girl entered the car carrying a
violin case. She was dressed in cool
summer attire. consisting OF plain skirt
and blazer of the same material. Be.
tween the open edges of the blazer front
. bit Of the same material could be seen,
which looked very much like a wide
belt The observer would never have
known whether II was belt or what IL
was had not the fair wearer been heated
and removed her blazer. throwing 1t
over her arm in true man fashion. Then
it was seen that the girl had on y pair
Of corsets outside OF her blouse. They
were made OF the same material as the
rest Of the costume. of regulation height
and were separated in front, being laced
together with a silken cord.
The removal Of the blazer created q
sensation in the car. A couple of young
men snickered; an elderly man who wore
flowing whiskers glanced at the girl over
bis spectacles. and then turning very
red fixed his eyes ON the floor. A ma
tronly old lady started TO speak to the
summer girl, but was restrained by her
daughter, who said.
'sOh. no, ma; there's no mistake. She
wears them that way purposely."
Claw sakesv' commented the old
lady, and looked both puzzled and dis
gusted.
The strangeness of the costume was
increased by having n pair OF blue silk
suspenders. buckles and all, fastened TO
.he top OF the corsets both front and
back. Ii was a question whether the
snspenders sustained the corsets or vice
versa. New York World.

Just before noon two OF the elevators
