ty-dve years ago, and it is proof that he
is good fellow that every one still calls
him Bobby"
He is the son of A. J. Cassatt the pres
ident Of the Pennsylvania railroad He
is good looking, with his fathers broad
strong shoulders, frank blue eyes, and
the yellow hair that is supposed to be
the especial property of the hardy Morse
men. Despite the fact that he is a grad
uate of Harvard, an all-round athlete,
and an ardent sportsman, he is also
practical business man. Although the
heir to millions he is a hard worker. At
ter leaving college he went to work in
the Pennsylvania railroad shops at Al
toona and with surveyors and construct
ors along the road. He was Bobby
Cassatt to them, too. These honest, toll
worn men liked him. He stayed among
them several years, mastering routine
work, and every detail of the vast system
of which he may one day be the head.
" Bobby Cassatt is a man." was what
they said of him
TOO BUSY FOR LOVE.
In love affairs Mr.. Cassatt has never
figured. Perhaps he has been too busy.
When he went on the May he was In
search of rest and recreation. Miss Fell
was heartwhole fancy free Older heads
might have seen the danger in compan-
ionship under just those circumstances.
The May sailed for Havana and spent
several weeks in Southern waters. Miss
Fell is fond of yachting. She loves the
smell Of the salt air, the roll of the sea,
and she spent her time on deck. Mr.. Cas-
satt was often her companion, and Cupid,
hiding among the sails, laughed and
sharpened his arrows.
Mrs. Van Rensselaer,, remembering the
days not long past when she had found
her hearts romance on board the little
yacht, smiled but said not word.
It's the air the boat-remarkably
fine air, by the way was Mr.. Van Rens-
selaer's comment.
WEDDING BELLS TO RING.
When the May returned to Philadelphia
the love affair was no longer a secret
The engagement of the young people
was announced. The innocent-looking
yacht, where in two years mother and
daughter had lost their hearts, anchored
in the harbor.
Philadelphia young people looked at the
craft Iongingly, but to all appearances
it was as trim and conventional as any
other yacht.
The next extended trip the May will
make will be to take Mr.. and Mrs. Bob
by Cassatt on a honeymoon cruise. The
wedding will take place in the early au-
tGrnn at Camp Hill, Fort Washington the
handsome country home left Miss Fell by
her father.
1t will be the grandest event of the
season. not only because Minnie Fell and
Bobby Cassatt are Itch and prominent,
but because they are universally loved.
There will be festivities at Camp Hill
and the spacious home will be crowded
to overlooking with distinguished guests.
Perhaps one toast will be drunk to the
May-the boat to lovers dear.
incidentally it might be mentioned that
Mr.. and Mrs. Bobby" Cassatt will have
an income OF $4,000 year and more later.
Now that the May has established it
self as a factor in the family affairs of
the house of Drexel no one is surprised to

likewise a relief. And now for the story.

from the precis of a London contem-
porary. 1t saves time and nausea.
''Messaline," empress of Rome, hearing
that singer "Hares," Is holding her up
to the contempt of the populace by the
songs he is singing in the streets, has him
brought before her, and to show her con-
tempt of popular opinion commands him
to repeat his songs, but forgets to insist
upon his doing so when she sees how
beautiful he is. Diminishing her court,
she enters upon a long love scene with
him, and the curtain falls to save US from
embarrassment.
The second act takes place near tav-
ern, while the feast of Bacchus is in
progress. Gambling and drinking are at
their height and the favorite costume Of
the ladies consists of a fish net and
wreath of roses-the wreath very volum-
nous, the net very scant. Upon this scene
enters ''Messaline,' disguised, in search
of another Hares or two. She is seized
by some libertines, appeals for help, and
is rescued by 'Helion," gladiator, and,
as it transpires later, the brother of
''Hares"
In the next act "Messaline" takes He
lion" to a chamber in her secret house,
which overlooks the Tiber, and a love
duel between the two is interrupted by
the voice of "Hares," who, ignorant of
what has happened, knowing only that
he has been cast aside by "Messaline,'
is in search of his brother. AS he enters

LONDON, Aug. 5-Just after the dress
rehearsal of Messaline, Isidore de Lara,
the composer, asked me If I thought the
opera would go in the United States, and
I asked him what made him think that it
might not. He said oh, perhaps, the plot
would be considered too-er-too high
colored. All could say was that after
our acceptance of Olga Nethersole's Car

we had one right, logically, to object to
anything. But that, of course, we were

acquaintance everywhere, they have
made the hospitality of the Drexel wom-
en- famous.
1t was with these aunts that Minnie
Fell spent her vacations when she left
the convent Of the Sacre Occur in Paris.
Her mother, as Sallie Drexel, was a
belle, and later as Mrs. Fell was known
as one Of the handsomest of the coterie

FRIENDS; NOTHING MORE:
After her debut Minnie Fell soon had
all the eligible men, with the exception
OF Bobby Cassatt,r at her little feet.
He, alone, stood aloof. They were friend
ly, nothing more
She bore her tr1umphs quietly. It was
said that at the end of her first season
she was tired of admiration and love
making.
AT the beginning of Lent a yacht with
canvas spread sailed away from rhila-
delphia. 1t was the May, the boat where
Cupid likes to hide, and once again he
went along, an unbidden guest
On board were Mr.. and Mrs r. H
Bayard Bowie, DR.. Wood, Mr.. and Mrs.

ace Hare and Bobby" Cassatt.
Bobby Cassatt owed his invitation to
join the party to the fact that he was
not one Of Miss Felrs admirers.

rather a novelty in swell circles.
But not all the May trips have beer
love voyages. During the SpanIsh-Amer.
lean war she was fitted out as a hospital
ship and carried medicines and food tn
the suffering soldiers in Porto Rico. When
she came home that time there were nc
happily lovers on deck, but gaunt, fever
stricken men, longing for a sight of their
native land. Now, however, her errand
of mercy is forgotten in the prestige of
her glory as yacht where Cupid takes
his berth when he wants to go to sea.

The patronage at Wildwood continues
to be of a most satisfactory order. The
fact that the Twin City Rapid Transit
company is making an effort to conduct
this resort orderly and respectable In
every way has encouraged many who
have hitherto avoided this spot to visit
It, The trolley ride itself is a most en-
joyable diversion, and no prettier spot
can be found within the confines Of the
Twin Cities than Wildwood itself. The
new bath houses are literally patronized,
as are the other features of amusement,
the roller coaster, water -chutes, etc.
Work on the saltwater line is progressing
very rapidly, and 1t will not be long be-
fore the line will be open through, and
then Wildwood will undoubtedly be pat
ronized by many of the citizens of that
city.
