THE CASTLE WHICH SHE LEFT FOR eYpsY's TENT

only in his teens when he attracted the attention of the Princess de Chimay. There was private theater attached to the pal ace of Chimay, and here the Auber opera was produced The book was written by Le Mercier, who selected for his subject an old legend of the Chimay family, which is one of the most distinguished in Belgium.
 The story of the opera is that the Sire de Chmay, exhausted after the hunt, fell asleep and was imprisoned by the wicked Sire de Convecin in the dungeon of his castle. For seven years he was mourned as dead by his wife. He was rescued. only when a peasants arrow fell near to a narrow window that admitted air to the prisoners cell. When he went to reach for it the peasant heard a poice saying "I am the Sire de Chimay." The peasant listened to the prisoners story. and the wife res cued her lord and cast aside her widows weeds.
 Clara Ward Princess de Chimay) will assume the role of the Damo de Chimay, Janezi Rigo that of the Sire de Chimay, and another Hungarian gypsy that of Jean de Convecin. It is expected that the opera will never be allowed to be heard in Paris with the Princess in the cast She will have to seek some other place. The Prin- cess is now preparing to give the initial performance in Hungary, and is having the settings painted in Vienna.
 Sne proposes to appear once With her ln- fant son by Rigo in her arms. She will address him as "proud young Chimay." In one scene she intends to appear while about to bathe In a forest stream. She will wear f1esh-colored tights frem top to toe, which will give her the appearance of be- ing entirely nude. There is no real reason for this scene except to display her figure, which is her one idea of the art dramatic. If the opera is a success financially, the Princess and Rigo propose to bring 1t to the United States
 At the present time the Princess de Chi- may Is sojourning In Paris with Janezi Ri- go, the man for whom she has defied every element of social decency. It has been currently rumored time and again that she Is insane, but her friends in this country indignantly deny such insinuations, claim ing that her acts of social debauchery are due entirely to her hish-strung, nervous and self-wiled temperament.
 At any rate, be that as 1t may, the case of Clara Ward is peculiar in many ways. In one moment she is to be heartily con- graduated for her seeming acts of inde-
The age-herald., 1899-01-08

Clara Ward, of Detroit, Mich, better known as the Princess de Chimay, is en- gagged in a new effort to make herself more notorious than ever. Since her elopement with the gypsy fiddler, Janezf Rigo, she has constantly scandalzed her family, friends and country, and now she evidently wishes some new method of advertising her shame and shape
 According to the latest gossip she will appear in an opera written by Auber for a former Princess de Chimay, whose char acter was but little better than her name. As in most of her public exhibitions, she will simulate nudity-at least she intends to if the police do not interfere.
 This opera was the first composed by the great Auber, author of Fra Diavolo,' "Manon Lescant and many other equally famous works. It has been generally for gotten. It was entitled by the author "Jean de Cenvecin,' but the title has been changed by the present princess to "Le Sire de Chimay'' in order to aid in casting as much disgrace as possible on her hus- bands name. Auber composed the opera for that Princess de Chimay who was most famous as Mme. Tallien. It is inter- esting coincidence that two princes of the illustrious house of Chimsy have married women of notorious regulations who have had associations with the stage.
 Mime. Tsllien was Theresa de Cabarrus, daughter of the Comte de Cabarrus. She was born in 1773 and was married at an early age to the Marquis de Fontenay. She obtained a divorce from him in 1793, and in the same year she married Tallien, who was prominent figure during the French Revolution. She exercised a profound in- fluence over him as member of the con- venton. Napoleon had a regard for her which was something more than friendly. In 1902 she obtained divorce from Tallien and in 1905 she married the Comte de Car aman, who subsequently became Prince de Chimay.
 The Princess de Chimay was famous for her charity, and was called "Notre Dame de Bon Secours." She welcomed at her husbands palace all sorts of Bohemians- men whom she had known in her days of diversity, struggling young authors, actors and artists. Among them was Auber, the composer He was born in 17s2, and was

cency, and then again we must condemn her for carrying the thing just a little too far. Here is one time that titled noble man of distinguished family has run against snag in the anticipated accumu- lation of a beautiful American girl for a wife whose jackets were well lined with profusion of American ducats.
 The social registers throughout all Eu- rope are loud in their condemnation of the actions of the Princess de Chimay. They think that 1t Is positively horrifying that every day sort of an American girl should have the effrontery and temerity to cast aside such desirable acquisition as a Belgian nobleman. They all overlook the fact that at least Miss Ward is an Ameri- can girl, and that if she grows tired of her much advertised spouse, that was a matter entirely her own.
 It is safe to say that had a women of his own country left his bed and board in a furry the chances are that the broken hearted Prince de Chimay would have never been heard of in print; but the fact that he had honored an American girl with his title and land, and then she had ruth lessly departed, and, worse yet, takes all her money with her, the strain was too great, and 1t is no wonder that he feels as though his name was being disgraced
 The Prince de Chimay had had such beautiful dreams of just how he would dis pose of the fortune which his beautiful young wife would place at his disposal. He would be enabled to drag the family escutcheon from the rust of poverty, and share in all the little delights and conceits so necessary to the happiness of prince But alas! all his hopes and anticipations dwindled away like so much air with the unlooked-for departure of his bride; his good name was blemished and his pocket book was left empty-the disgrace was too awful to contemplate.

 If the Princess de Chimay really does produce this opera 1t is almost absolutely certain that it will be with the consent of the prince, whose broken heart will be further healed by a certain percentage of the profits accruing from the production.
