Separation a Mystery.
The separation of the Appletons was
for time society mystery. and ii was
not for two years that the news came
pf out that Mrs. Appleton had left her rIoh
i husband and had gone to- Europe with
- Miss Katharine Parsons, of Natural
Bridse Va.
Captain Appleton was close friend
of Colonel Henry Clay Parsons. and
4. shortly after their wedding the Apple
tons visited the Virginia home of the
Parsons
There was noticed a close friendship
between the stately Miss Katharine and
Mrs. Appleton. and in subsequent visits
the companionship grew so inseparable
that Colonel Parsons finally requested
the older woman to leave.
Mrs. Appleton held an influence over
z the Virginia girl that could not be brok-
en-. and on the day she left the South
Miss Katharine told her parents that
e she wouid accompany her Tears. pray
ers and entreaties were of no avail.
Both women came to New York. and "A
I few days later sailed for Europe --
Young Woman Determined
Colonel Parsons placed detectives on
the track OF his daughter, and located
her in Egypt. In reply 10 the request
that she return home she said:
Il am twenty-one years old, and L
(. do not care to see my father and moth
er again." Mrs. Appleton denied that
'm she had hypnotized or used any other
influence on the girl.
7r- Mrs. Appleton ard Miss Parsons are
:, both residing in this city. Colonel Par
sons was killed a number of years ago
by a railroad conductor.
Ii had been the desire of Captain APP
pleton to forget his unfortunate mar
riage and he said yesterday that he
had not thought of marrying again un-
til a year ago. when he met Miss Wills.
This young woman. who comes of an
old Puritan family. admits that she is
IN love with Captain Appleton. putting ii
this way:
..If l We're oIfS Sixteen years old there
might be. ground, for criticising my en-
gagement to Csibtain Appleton. but l
