Charleston society is agitated anent
the levlty INDUCED in by a writer in
the New York Journal, concerning Miss
Daisy Leighton Slaughter. of that city.
! Some years ago literary circles at the
! State capitol were startled by the pub
| LEGATION of novel entitled "Passion's
Pas" which the title page announced
as the joint work of Madame Leighton
and daughter. Everybody in Charles
, ton read the novel, and it also enjoyed
an extensive circulation throughout
the State. Miss Daisy was amanuensis
in the office of the Standard Oil Com
pany, and was young lady of many
| personal charms and with many beaux
| at her feet. Society was again start
| led last winter when further evidence
OF the versatility of Miss Daisy was
! furnished In the announcement that
| she had Joined an opera company
! which was booked for an engagement
| in that city. Some of the more prud-
! ish were shocked by the exhibition in
| show windows Of photographs of Miss
| Slaughter in various poses and in at
/ tire which is conventional only upon
! the cominc opera stage and at the sea-
! shore. Her debut was awaited with
| GREATNESS interest, and it was a gala
| night from box Office standpoint.
| when she trembling advanced to the
footlights, and sang solo. 1t was an
instance in which the pictures lied,
and some We're disappointed, for Miss
/ Slaughter wore a gown of the prima
/ donna's, and 1t was made en- eraine.
| subsequently the company visited
! Wheeling, and the friends of the beau
| tiful young aspirant for footlight fame
were disappointed to find her singing
| in the chorus. She dropped her fam
/ lily name, and has been known to the
| stage as Daisy Leighton. The com
| pany with which Daisy is now engaged
| is appearing in New York, and the
Journal man discovered that she was
| the author of Passions Past" All
this was well enough, and might be
worth recording in a metropolitan
newspaper, but the writer compared
Daisy to Laura Jean Libby. quoted
| some OF the expressions of her heroine
without giving the context, and embel-
lished the story with number of car
features. That's why Miss Daisy's
friends are angry.
