Early yesterday afternoon reporter
had been given the tip that the big
dailes were all wrong in the ijentitica-
tion Of the Young woman who was said
to be creating such havoc with the DO
mestic peace of Mr.. and Mrs W. K.
Vanderbilt, and that the Young woman

az o
began life IS Neitie Cohe H." said one
Of the cIubmen. 'sSle was born in
Eureka, Nevada, and Ler father was
Ben Cohen. VINO amassed fortune in
the clothing trade. She was a beauti-
full child and her fathers pride. When
fourteen years Of age he decided that
the educational facilities Of Eureka
were not good enough for his daughter
and he sent her to the Mills seminary
ut Alameda, California.
"When III her 18th year she was
graduated from the seminary and came
home as beautiful a specimen Of young
womanhood as You ever gaZcd upon.
On her account alone her father, hav-
ing retired from business, moved to
San Francisco, where he hoped to make
a brilliant wedding for her. She was
witty, graceful and all that was charm
ing, which, with her beauty, easily
made her the belle Of the town.
'sF'rom her associates in the seminary
Nellie had obtained a love of gaitY,
which soon led TO urConventionalities
in her manner of behaving herself,
and it was not long before she posed
prominently II two continents. Her
face was familiar one on Market and
Kearnev streets, San Francisco, until
she met rich old man named Roths-
child. He became SO infatuated with
the dark haired beauty that he placed
his fortune at her disposal, and she
made things hum you can bet.
up to that time pretty Nettie,s
heart, no wever, had not been touched,
and it remained for young cigar
drummer named Neuseretter to call
that entirely his own. Both were much
in love and they were married. For q
time she was all that wife should be,
but her husbands busine SIS keeping him
from home the greater part of the
time, his wife relapsed into her gay
mode of life.
In 1897 she lttL HGk AuoDol-b Iho
came to New York with Laura Edel-
man, popular woman of Los Angeles,
who is now under the protection of well
known carriage manufacturer OF Chi
cago The young woman had not been
in his city long before a prominent
manufacturer, with almost unlimited
capital, succumbed to her charms.
tsThe couple went to Europe, where
the fair Nettie Travelled like a princess.
and on her return to this city she
created a sensation by the maSnlt-
cence of her fine toillettes and jewels
In 1890 she returned to Frisco on visit
to her parents and set the town wild by
the magnficenca Of her attire. She
returned to this city and in 1891 again
went to Paris. The wealthy manutac-
turer was still her toy.
"Tbey stopped at the Centennial
hotel in Paris, where Miss N=ttie scared
so high that she WAS requested by the
manager of the hotel to seek other
quarters. Her conduct on that trip
wasso sensational that her friend cried
quits, and returned without his black
eyed pet Nettie, however, was not
long without a protector, and some
months after the manufacturers return
she also landed in New York. She had
in the meantime, however, risen in the
social scale, and was registered in one
of the leading hotels of the city of
nutches Da Costa.
"Her toilettes continued to be mar
vels Of beauty and good taste, but the
dutchess' uacontrolla BILE desireto paint
things led the hotel proprietor TO re-
quest her to move. Among her love
affairs in this city one which attracted
much attention was that with popu
