Miss Dorothy Smart Of Washing
ton Enters Convent of the Sa-
cred Heart at Kenwood, n. Y.
HER FRIENDS AST0UNDED.
Had Yearned for Seclusion of the
ClOister Two Years-Was
Ardently WoOed by
Young Venezuelan.

Washing on. Jan. 7.-Miss Dorothy Smart,
second daughter Of Colonel Charles Smart
OF the medical department of the army
now on duty in the Philippines. left her
home without warning last Friday and en-
tered the Convent of the Sacred Heart at
kenwood. near Albany, n. Y.
The news has created profound sensa-
tion in social circles. where Miss Smart
has been reigning belle. Not even her
closest friends knew of Miss Smarts inten-
ton. and for time il was believed that
her flight had a romantic side and that PROP
ably 1t would terminate in an elopemeht
Several gentlemen, who were known TO be
devoted admirers of the young woman. We're
suspected of being partners to her secret,
and the affair has caused great excitement
in all the fashionable clubs in Washing ton.
Miss Motlie Smart, elder sister of Miss
Dorothy, to-day solved the mystery by eH
planning that the missing belle had entered
the convent and would soon take the initial
steps of taking the white veil of the nov
ice. It has been further explained that
Miss Dorothy. Eearly two years ago, re-
Quested her fathers permission TO enter
the convent. but was refused. She never
has given up the idea. and, although she
has taken part in social affairs, 1t has been
her intention to renounce the vanities OF
this world for the contemplated life OF
the cloister.
It is said among Miss Smarts friends
chat she left Washington SO quietly in
order to avoid the very ardent Woolng or
young venezuelan lover, senior 4. bc
Ponte, son of the Venezuelan General and
at present a cadet at West Point This
young man has been the guest Of Senor
Augusta F. Puido. Sharge. d'Afraires Of
Venezuela. and has been daily visitor at
wlthe Smart home in Hillyer place.
Mr.. Pulido himself is a great admirer OF
Miss Dorothy. but he saw the affections OF
his young friend were seriously involved and
gallantly withdrew his suit. On Friday Mr..
De Ponte and Miss Dorothy took a long
horseback ride in the country. with some
friends. and. according to later develop
ments. Mr.. De Ponte made an appointment
for another ride on Saturday morning When
he arrived he was told that Miss Dorothy
was not at home, but no other explanation
was made.
She left brief note for him. saying that
she was going out of town and probably
would not see him again. She wished him
every happiness and success in the future
and said she would always value his friend
ship This note proved quite a blow to the
young Venezuelan, for he took 1t as final
dismissal.
Miss Dorothv's sister has since explained
her sisters intention to Mr.. De Ponte. but
he is none the less grief-stricken over the
affair.
