Miss Mays Life Picturesque.
Miss Mays history is picturesque, like
a story drawn from fairy books. Her
name when she was a demure and I'M
known little chorus girl in New York
was Edna May Petty. She was glad
to get a salary of So a week in those
days. In the bright days since she has
signed contracts for $500 and $1,000 a
week, and has had scores of suitOrs,
from rajahs of India to heirs Of British
dukedoms, from the chappies of Picca-
dilly to bank clerks of ThTeadneedle
street. At least one man has commit
ted suicide because of her, and she has
had a house in Regent street and an
est7te in Scotland
Fred TITUS was the little chorus girls
IfSL adventure he was q famous d.
cycle rider. and when she met him he
Rad just won the hour record at the
Snring4eld meet They were married in
sos end lived in a little fat IN Harlem.
Titus opened a bicycle SHOP and Edna
we1- to music and dancing lessons
She was q singer, and from singing in
church she was led TO take a little part
In Santa Mara at HammeTstein's and
later 2 chorus part IN The Belle Of
New york - ~ the Casino
Demure Beauty Wins Victory.
One night her chance came. and her
7enure beauty uGde the part Of Kitty
Grey good enough for the best. She
sailed away to London and the Sal
walton Army Lass captured the hearts
of the Britons, and Fred Titus lost his
bride She wrote a book and had teas
with countesses and dinners with
dukes. She drove her own horses and
was summoned to the presence Of the
king.
Her marriage to Titus was not dis
-oived until q year ago in New York.

hat she would not marry anyone

changed her mind
