in the land of Uncle Sam. She was
educated at Vassar and made her debut
into the most exclusive circle of New

she became q favorite at once. Then
followed tours thru Europe and the
Orient. Her youth, beauty, wealth and
social position brought admirers by the

list were kings and princes, distln-

here and abroad. She enjoyed few
brilliant seasons of conquest and then
came a marriage that proved unhappy,
whereupon the beauty sundered her
matrimonial chains and gratitied the
longing of her life-she went to New
York to fit herself for the stage.
In New York Miss Stone studied
with j. Parsons Price, who had m
structed Fanny Davenport. Maude Ad-
