Mr.. John Teel aud daughter, having
completed a months visit TO Mr. Rowe,
have returned to their home in South Bend,
Ind.
There is nothing fashionable Europe SO
dotes on talking about just now as pretty
Edith Collins. The young lady is the
daughter of handsome Clarence olins, and
as her mother was one Of Gotham's beauties
in her time, Miss Edith comes rightly by
her good looks.
What some may Consider vastly more
satisfactory than niS, beauty, the Ameri-
can girl has just come into second for
tuue-a trifle OF 1000 ,OCO-and tie cost
lincss OF her apparel and dazzling flame Of
jewels has set all Paris agog.
Her mother was II granddaughter Of old
Commodor Vanderbilt. She was lovely
girl, and her marriage TO young Collins was
one of the most celebrated love matches
OF the day.
II was not happy alliance, however,
and finally ended in divorce. Mrs. Collins
soon became the wife OF an English officer,
and, leaving her little daughter with her
father, went off to Europe with her second
choice. The officer soon died, and the
widow married for the third time, the last
husband being Frcncllnan named Louver-
bieile. Two years ago she died leaving; Ter
fortune to the Child she had never seen since
her separation from its father.
Added To that, the grandmother OF Miss
Collins died few weeks ago, leaving her
entire estate to the now famous heiress, who
is a present travelling like a fairy princess
among her new Possessions with her step
4 na bo
before her marriage, Miss Rose Alba
Bucher, the singer.
