vorced from her former husband. Dr..
Woodruff.
Such episodes lent a certain piquancy
to the popular conception of the Cafiin
sisters.
One of the great friends of the sisters
at this time was Theodore Titon. When
the Beeeher-Tiiton affair came up the
fearless editors of Woodruff & Claims
Weekly devoted their columns to the pro-
Tilton version of the affair, set forth in
the plainest terms.
New York gasped. The circulation OF
the Weekly lowered between life and
death. Police Captain Byrnes made his
famous-and it should be said altogether
Observation-Disclosures rization of the Claflin
sisters as famous adventuresses.
Socially Clahin stock dropped very low.
The Titon editorials were their undoing.
Their broker Office suspended and the
Weekly likewise; their existence a laby-
rinth of SANDER suits and libel suits from
which there seemed no escaping, the two
indomitable women bethought themselves
one day to sail for-where, of all places
in the world, but England. the home of
conservatism, conventionalism, stand-off-
ishness
But as usual their instinct had been
unerring.
Both were brilliantly endowed ac-
complished, charming women And the
only thing impossible to either of them,
you will see, was obscurity. They Leo
tured, wrote, were after time made
much of.
And before long it was reported that
Mrs. Victoria Woodruff Blood had now
her former husbands both being dead, be-
come the wife of the rich banker Mr..
John Biddulph Martin.
And the next important news item
was that Tennie c. Claflin was the bride
of the wealthy and distinguished Sir
Francis Cook, who afterward became Wis
count Montserrat in the Portuguese nobil-
ity.
For fifteen years and more the sisters
have lived in England, persistently en-
gagged in reform, agitation and philan-
thropy, besides filling all the demands
made upon women of high social posi-
ton. One year Mrs Martin came across
the water and permitted her name to be
used as the suffrage candidate for the
presidency. Every year or so one or both
of them revisits America.
And now, in her later middle age, with
a half-dozen careers already put behind
her, with wealth charm, influence, ener-
gy, who can tell what her ladyship, the
widowed Viscountess of Montserrat-for-
merly, your must always remember,
Tennie Clahin-the magnetic wonder
will do next?
