after having lived a life Of uselessnsss
and unfaithfulness to the woman who
had given the keeping Of her life into
his hands. Through II all. Consuelo
Ysnaga, Duchess Of Manchester, never
complained to anyone. She gained the
sympathy Of a wide circle OF friends
who realized that her youthful dream
Of happiness had not been realized.
The son of this Minated couple. who

was born March 8. 1877. He married
Miss Helen Zimmerman. daughter Of
Eugene Zimmerman, Of Cincinnati.
The twin daughters OF the dowager
duchess died when quite young.
At present the dowager duchess lives
quietly. but elegantly, in Paris. Berlin
and London. Her husband squandered

came into fortune Of $1.O0OOO In

The marriage OF Consuelo Yxnaga to
this English nobleman was one or TIE
thousand instances Of international
marriages resulting In sorrow and un-
happiness for the wife, but still the
strife for title goes on among the de-
voices Of society in the United States
and apparently 1t will continue a. long
