SOUTHERN GIRLS WED IN NORTH
Brilliant Series Of Marriages to Men of Wealth
and Distinction.

The engagement of Miss May Goelet
to the Duke of Roxburghe has again
called attention to the notable mar
riages made by the members of the
Wilson family, to which the mother
Of the future duchess belongs, and
the success of Southern mothers in
allying their daughters to New York
families of great wealth, also comes
once more into notice.
When Mrs. Antonio Yznaga first be-
gan to bring her daughters to the East
from her plantation in Louisiana, the
family was reduced in circumstances,
as was the case with most Northern
families at the time, says the New
York Sun. There were three daugh-
ters and son.
There was not money enough in the
family in those days to provide the
young women with many luxuries, and
as their mother realized that the
chances for wealthy match were good
only in New York or the East, she
deemed it absolutely necessary that
they pass a certain amount of time
here. And here the money was spent.
So life on the plantation of Mr.. and
Mrs. Antonio Yznaga del Vale was
lean during the intervals between the
trips to this part of the world. The
young women of the family, however,
received as complete an education as
the means of the family could pro-
vide.
French had always been the lam
guage of the household, and Consuela
had supplemented the lessons of her
English governess by few months
in boarding school at Georgetown.
There, with her sisters, she was pre-
pared for the brilliant marriage that
her mother had in view.
There were visits OF two or three
months to New York and Saratoga,
then at the zenith of it's first fame,
and all that the life of these places
provided was enjoyed to the full. Then

stood King Humbert and Queen

Luna was too absorbed in his work to
have heard. He was dressed in his
worst rags, for he had a habit of WHIP
ing his brushes on his clothes.
THE King and Queen paused behind
Luna, and gazed with admiration at
the painting of heroic size before them.
The King held up his hand, demanding
silence. Thus all of us stood, petrified,
while Luna pranced up and down be-
fore his canvas, unconscious of his au-
gust audience
Suddenly he turned and saw the
King. For a second he was dazed,
then instinctively glanced down at his
paint-besmeared clothes.

artists who knew him then. His
American roommate says of him:
He was very modest and retir-
ing boy until he became acquainted
with his new surroundings: then he
became as noisy and full of pranks
as the worst of us. l think that at
first he was afraid he would be made
to feel his color, but, with the excep-
ton of a few Americans, he was uni
versally treated as a brother and So
cial equal by all. The Spanish students
were especially proud to claim him as
compatriot, for even in his first
year Luna showed marked artistic
ability.
Luna had a liberal monthly allow
ance from home, for his father was a
we'll to-do planter but he showed
none of the Orientals capacity for
making his income go long way.
The second week of the month usually
found him dead broke like the rest
of us. In that respect he had the
true artistic temperament. I remem-
Der one incident illustrating that point
of his character
1--WE were all at a jovial gathering
of students when the news was sud
denly announced of the death of
young French boy. who had been
working his way through art school.
A dead silence fell over the gathering.
Everybody looked thoughtful We
all knew that the dead boy had not
a penny. Luna was the first to break
the silence. He picked up scrap
of paper and wrote on it-then pick
ed up his hat and deposited the paper
in it.
Boys he said, L have not single
soldo to start this collection am
living on credit--but begin it with a
promissory note of 100 forms, pay
able at the first of the month.
"Then he passed around the hat, and
soon collected enough to send the dead
student home to France to be buried.
tSuch incidents, with his winning
ne-.sonality, soon made Luna extreme
i, popular. At that time Signor Man
cini was King Humbert's Minister of
Foreign Affairs, and he became
great patron of art. OF Saturday
evenings he held receptions in his
mansion, to which he invited the art

In the Prado art galleries of Madrid,
Spain, there hangs a large painting,
"Spolarum." 1t is not what the aver
age tourist would call pretty pic
ture. 1t represents the pen of the
Roman Coliseum wherein were thrown
in a heap the slain in combat-the
gladiators, the martyrs and the beasts.
The dead are CHASTITY realistic, well
tering in blood and covered with the
dust of the arena. Those who do not
pass it by at once pause only mo-
ment to shudder A very few remain
to admire it.
In the lower right-hand corner in
small square letters is written the
name, Juan Luna. The average Wis
itor to the art galleries, who has seen
the name before on other paintings,
is under the impression that it is that
of some Spanish artist. Few know
that the artist is a full-blood Filipino,
who, until he was sixteen, ran bare
footed, in company with his three
brothers, about the tropical jungles OF
Northern Luzon, throwing stones at
the monkeys, and was clothed in the
loose cotton trousers of the Filipino
country boy.
One of these brothers was Antonio,
afterwards the n-chief OF
the Filipino armies who, it is said by
many, was assassinted at the instance
of Aguinaldo. The others were Jose
and Joaquin. Citizens of loco will

linen, upon his promotion, JUAN who
mad already developed a pronounced
artistic bent, was sent to Rome to
study art.
The young Filipino went alone to
Rome, stranger unused to European
customs. But it did not take him
long to find friends among the cos
mopolitan community of art students
who lived and studied in Rome. He
settled down in the heart of artistic
bohemia, in the Via Margretta, shar-
ing his studio with an American and
a Spaniard.
Many stories are told Of Luna by
