In Ordinary Circumstances.

Miss Kingdom AT that time was in very
ordinary circumstances. She lived with
her mother IN a modest apartment in
Brooklyn. She little thought in those
days that she was TO marry one Of the
richest men in the world. She was a
woman of spotless reputation. and her
beauty and talent speedily made her a
favorIte with the Daily audiences and a
great future was predicted for her. But
# is a question if she would ever have
risen 10 great heights even under the
training OF Mr.. DAILY

greatest advantage was that of Margery
