- Thus laconIcally did the
beautiful Mrs. Hugh Tevis ca
BILE THE mitten" TO Lord
Rosslyn, the only actor earl in the
United Kingdom. Cupid's efforts 10
bring together these two remarkable
young people have proved unavaillng
Both have had exneuence in the matri-
mOnial line, Mrs. Tevis becoming a wild
ow after a brief six weeks married life,
and the noble earl "a divorce after sew
eraI years of an unhappy married life.
When Mrs, Tevis left England 10 re-
turn TO this country not long ago she
was pledged to become the wife OF Lord
Rosslyu. On the trip across the ocean
she had ample time for reflection, and
upon her arrival she sent the disap-
pointing cablegram- Her decision IS a
source OF great regret TO the family of
Lord Rosslyn. who had accented her as
the daucee OF the adventurous earl and
looked 10 her TO bring him back 10 the
paths more often trOd by the peers OF
the realm. With her fortune OF so, OJJ
a year she was regarded as a great
catch. But this American fortune ar
/ least has escaped the hands OF the
needy British peerage. The earl is said
TO be not only much disappointed. but
also entirely I'm the dark as TO she
cause Of his dismissal. No letters have
Z followed the brief cablegram and he has
I had to confess 10 his iutimates that he
T has been tilted by the fair American.
Mrs Tevls viii be remembered by
/ Nashingtonians as the accuser Of Lieut..
7 John Edle. Z. S. N, formerly the dancC
OF Miss Paulding. the niece OF Senator
I Depew. Mrs. Tevis declared that ar
7 Eide had insulted her younger sister
while on shore leave at Bar Harbor
Her friends say that IL would be like
/ Mrs. Teyis 10 break an engagement in
this unique way. She has the reputa-
/ tiOu OF doing things rather out of the
I ordinary. She is young, beautiful, and
I possessed OF an immense fortune which
she inherited from Hugh Teyis. In the
past year she has been reported en-
/ gagged 20 half a dozen different men. Her
/ noble lover is no less celebrated for
ways that are strange and peculiar. He
I has been "a millionaire ana "a DanhFu-
/ a soldier and war correspondent an
I actor and q professional gambler. The
. engagement Of these two was shrOuded
I iu cloud OF mystery at one time. but

Coupling the departure OF Mr.. Mckee

Before the Baltic sailed, the friends of
