intesicities Of very well known couple Who
have been married SOME four or i've years
and have at least one token Of their early
love.

inherited a fortune. which he has largely
increased by clever speculation IN real
estate. for. like many other eeeentrles. he
has a keen eve TO the main chance. He

Then followed a succession OF clnners
and lunchsons. for which the highways
and byways were beaten for guests. The
extreme beauty of the young hostess ana
the quality Of mine hosts wines and e.

but It was uphill work. and long before
the season closed the stone villa was
closed. and perhaps the seeds OF subse-
auent events were laid in that first So
