7 ONION, July 27-Vastly different
at present are the respective lots
of the marquis and the marchion-
ess OF Anglesey. As Americans
know, In one part Of the continent the

dandy is wondering how on earth
young man who has been In the habit
of spending something like Sl,0OO,0OQ

on the beggarlv $4,000 a year which his
creditors have allowed him. In another
part of the continent, however, his
beautiful wife is congratulating her.
self that the re-mentioned creditors
cannot touch her $4,000 a. year which
the marquis settled on her soon after
their marriage. But the marthioness
of Anglesey has no intentlon l am

that her income IL tenfold larger than
his. For several years the two have
liked apart, and as they are flesh and
blood Vanity Fair products and not
creations of romance, misfortune, in
stead of uniting Them Is likely to drive
them further assunder.
HIS MARRIAGE INVESTMENT
Since his creditors swooped down
upon him much has been written about
the eccentric career of the marquis but
little had been said of his marriage
which turned out as disastrous as most
of his other ventures Besides being
marvelously pretty the marchioness OF
Anglesey is famous for her abundant
red hair which Is of the kind that art
lists and poets rave over She Is n
daughter of Sir George Chetwynd and
that dainty little woman who in her
younger years was known as the
pocket Venus" and who at the time of
her marriage to sir George was the
widow Of the last marquis OF Hastings.
Lillian Chetwynd inherited her moth
er's beauty and from the smart and
rapid set i'm which she moved she ac-
quired the notion that cupid was play |
ed out and that the right and proper
thing to do with a pretty face like hers
was to marry wealth and title, inde-
pendent OF other considerations, and
make a brilliant match. That Is what
society called 1t when her engagement
to the future marquis of Anglesey was
announced. On her side at least there
was scant prNdnce Of love about II.
To her friends she frankly admitted
that she regarded her Aance as some
what of BOBBY but as he offered her
the best chance of realizing her ambi-
tlon she considered that she would
have been n fool not 10 have Jumped
at IT. And her friends and society
generally agreed with her. The fact
that the bride and bridegroom We're
cousins (the marohioness of Hastings
WAS the daughter Of tho second mar
quis of Anglesey and the present mar
quis is the son Of the fourth was re-
garded as point in favor of their
union. The marriage was quite the
fashionable matrimonial event of the
season. II was known as the emerald
wedding" because these gems figured
so consplcuousiy and profusely among
the wedding gifts. They were chosen
for the reason that the marchioness,
who, like her husband Is exceedingly
fond of precious stones, is particularly
partial 10 those green-hued gems
FAILURE FROM THE START.
Tho marriage was a failure almost
from the start. 1.-THE Ideal Husband"
was one of the plays staged later on
by the marquis at Anglesey castle and
the title role he regarded as one of his
greatest histrionic trlumphs, but in real
life he fell far short OF realizing IL. Be
fore the honeymoon had waned, an
open rupture occurred between them
Both found the matrimonial letters irk-
some. Although the marquis was
proud OF his wlfe's beauty, II did. not
render him Indifferent to the charms of
other women. And the marchioness
did not find her husband sufficiently
diyerting to make her forego the pleas
ures of more congenlal society. Among
women she chose as her bosom friend
Princess Hoenlohe, the daughter Of
Count Hat2ledt, who is stlll known as
baby Hatzfeldt," though there has
long ceased to be anything infantile In
her composition. Together she and tho
marchioness have furnished society
with many sensations, At one time

the gay capital unattended and In full

FAMOUS EMERALD WEDDING.
About two years after the famous
emerald wedding society learned with
establishment that the marohloness had
