The very latest report from Paris is
that Mrs. Alice Ballard Mcdonald Rix
O'Leary has separated from her young
husband and that there is to be di-
vorce. The report is almost incredible,
because it is only few weeks ago that
l heard of their intense devotion to
each other, and of the harmony that
prevailed in their Partisan menage.
But Mrs. O'Leary is genius and &C.
centric. She has had three matrimo-
NAL experiences. Her first husband
was a Mr. Mcdonald, by whom she had
a son. Her second was Mr.. Rix, who
was divorced to marry her, and who, |
after he was divorced by her, was re- |
united with his first wife, and the latter |
now speaks very highly of her. And |
more remarkable is the affection enter |
tanned for her by the daughter of the !
Rix's, who lived with her during her
brief marriage with Mr.. Rix. Mrs. Rix |
is now about forty years of age and her
husband is in the early thirties. She |
is such a brilliant woman and graceful, /
sparkling writer that it is unfortunate |
that she has not made some contribu
ton to literature less eyaneseent than
her journalistic work. When living at |
Belvedere she wrote a novel, the man.
uscript of which was lost in fire that
destroyed her cabin, and unfortunately
she had no copy of the YORKTOWN
Talk.
