about to make certain lady. his
fourth wife. But the rasol,ste Kate
had made NJ hsr mind that no ore
should step in between her and her
father and one day when the lady
called she was made SO keenly to feel
that she was an intruder that the bud
ding romance was blighted, and Chase
remained widower.
Even after Rates brilliant marriage
to Senator William Sprague, oil Rhode

to see her father Installed in the White
House, and was most gracious TO those
who we're likely to be influential in
helning her to advance his interests,

Indeed, there were afterward some poll
