In addition to tenderloin roysterers, for
whom he was easy prey, aside from cred
itors and a disappointed family, there is
another who deeply mourns the sudden
departure of Mamie Clayburg. She is
Mrs. Mollie Barrett, dashing widow of
the blonde type, whose wings are clipped
by the storms and passions Of some
thirty-two years. For years past she
has been Mamie" Clayburg's sweet
heart, and she claims to have been en-
gagged to marry the gay young man of
meats.
When Clayburg shook the aroma of
the tenderloin from his garments and
jumped to Sacramento, where he is said
to have been joined by Gay" Monroe,
the transient butterfly with whom Man
ME has whiled away many a gay evening
during the last two months his leave
taking left an aching void in the heart
of the pretty Jones-street widow. She
has been dancing up and down the gilded
paths which Mamie was wont to tread
vainly seeking from his former friends
some clew of his present whereabouts
And all this time Mamie Clayburg and
his friend are supposed to be treading
the primrose paths of Sacramento.

| Mrs Mollie Barrett is heartbroken over

until a few weeks ago that she had no

rudely disturbed.
Mrs. Barrett was not at home last
night. Her little daughter was lady of the

Mrs. Barrett has confided to her friends
| that she intends to make determined
effort to win Mamie away from her rival.
| He is her fiance, she claims, and she does
not intend to allow him to consort with
other women. She has even gone so far
as to hint at breach of promise suit.
