Did Not Shock Russia

Moreover, a little investigation
showed that the real name of Mad
anne Andreieva is Zhelabush. she
being the wife of a Moscow engi-
neer. A noted actress, she had
quit the boards after falling in love
with Gorky. Their irregular alli-
ance had excited no great comment
in Russia. where divorce is very
difficult to procure, and loose alli-
ances are benevolently winked at
in the highest society.
But this is just the one thing in
the moral code that Americans
won't stand. They refuse to be
even tolerant of this class of sin
ners. and Gorky and his companion
were driven from one hotel to an
other, while invitations which had

Byron s Tangled LoUe Affairs

Byrons tangled love affairs couId
be made the theme Of a dozen books
Ihe divine spark of genius that in

driving him ever to some new of-
fair.
HIS marriage with Miss NiIbank
contented him for only a briof
while. When they bad been united
1or less than a year, he scandalized
her by offering the hospitality of
their home to Nine. Mardva. an
actress The result was a rupture
between the pair.
Public sympathy was entirely with
the wife. and Byron quit England
going to Switzerland. Here Byron
met a Miss Clairmont. a connection

and the intimacy resulted in the
birth of daughter. In Venice \
few months later he entered in alH-
ance with Mariana Segati. the wife
of his landlord This Iiaison was
conducted on terms Of the most
shameless publicity, and the pair
maintained a superb villa near
Venice.
But Mariana's reign was destined
to come to an end and she gave
way to Margarita Cogni.
After Cogni came Countess Guic-
cioli. who for four years lived with
Byron in an arrangement that came
close TO being a common law mar
l'iage. A quarter of a century later
this lady married the MARQUIS de
Boissy, who made so little of her
excursion in unconventionality that
he was wont to proudly introduce
her as my wife, a former mistress
of Lord Byron"
As can be imagined. Lord Byron
did not have all these experiences
without bringing public notice on
himself, During all his brief and
stormy life there was a very strong
faction against him, men and women
who declined to read his works or
admit his genius, because of their
utter apprehension of the life OF the
man. Even to this day this feeling
has by no means died out.

A large part of her life, she lived in

Her friendship with George
Henry Lewes led TO a closer rela-

rated under conditions that pre-
cluded a divorce.
Another woman, with the literary

Grundy, George Sand. Her intimacy

She would have no such loose ar

Andreieva, an actress, that
made a failure of the
Russian novelist's trip to
the United States when prospects
OF success were rosy, is another
chapter added to the unconven-
tional love affairs Of men of genius
While the turning away from re-
spectacle hotels and the criticism
of the noted author are entirely
just, it should not obscure the fact
that he is man of genius, a great
teacher, a writer whose work has
done a valuable part in rOusing
Russia to a protest for better things
and better government.
Perhaps in years to come, after
the world gets farther away from
the unfortunate trip to the United
States, Americans viii endeavor to
forget the incident that has now
virtually driven into hiding the man
who, next TO Tolstoy, is Russia's
greatest writer.

the Russians TO adopt It. Bitter

Seated in the wagon were two chill

sistance and the horse was subded. An
inventory was taken and it was fond
that Mr.. Turner had scaped with a se-
