HER LADYSHlP AT HOME
Mrs. ShoIto Douglas Has Joined Her Mamma al
Oakland

Lady Sholto Douglas, weary of mining
life and the scorching sun of Arizona,
says the San Francisco Examiner of
Sunday, returned to her mothers home
in Oakland last night leaving her lord
alone to search for that big fortune he
is after in hole in the ground. Her
ladyship is disgusted with the country
and fortune seeking, and now she is go
ing to stay with her mother for awhile.
She does not want it inferred, how
ever, that she has deserted her titled
husband. Mrs. Adds has extended Lord
Sholto a pressing invitation to make his
home in her house. The EngliShman,
however, is little shy of accepting the
hospitality of his motherin-law. He
prefers the broiling sun of Arizona 10
taking any chances on being roasted by
Mrs, Adds. Lady sholto says that
Sholt0 has not struck that fortune he IS
after. but he has expectations and lives
in hope of making big cleanup.
II have left the stage forever" she
said last night. This determination on
my part was brought about by an ur-
gent request from the marquis of Queens
berry and his wife, who insisted that
should retire. / bow to their commands,
and my action pleases my husband very
much.
People say that made my success a t
Tony Pastors in New York by dropping
my garter on the stage during one of my
acts. 1 want to deny that charge. III
the first place, I never wore garters on
the stage. Since that story came out it
seems to me that all the variety actress
es in the country have been dropping
their garters. 1t appears to be a fad, and
I am given the credit of being the orig
inator Of it. But am not dropping gar
ters to get applause. 1t is true that a
member of the press in New York pre- !.
sented me with a garter set with dia-
monds. AS he had been very kind tc
me, accepted the gift and my husband
approved of my action. But l never
dropped that garter on the stage.
We're all going to try and get the
lord to join us and make his home here.
