match with all his might. but they
were married and went to London. 1t
was only little while after that
Mr.. Work was sending them $1,000 n
year to live on. y little later he in
creased it to $4,000. Then he cut off
all allowances. He said his daughter
had married man who never could
or never would make living. and that
he was tired of furnishing allowances
and paying bills at the same time.
With the ''wherewithal' cut off. Mrs.
Burke Roche soon returned with her
children. She Went straight to the
house on Twenty-siNth street. In
1891 she obtained a divorce from her
husband in Delaware, and ever since
has been living at her fathers house
as its beautiful mistress. AS has late
ly come forth, she has had little spoiled
ways of her own ever since which
were not exactly in accord with the
fussy notions of an old man. He has
flown into rage 1T her more than
once, which is not anything remark
able when it is considered that he is
81 years old. But she is her fathers
daughter. and, moreover. she is not in
the least afraid that he means it. and
she knows exactly how to manage
him. So, when he reprimanded her
for having her luncheon served on a
little tray in the parior, she ordered
her maid to pack up her trunks and
remove TO the Buckingham. A pretty
bluff, wasn't it, when it is considered
that all his daughters means of liv-
ing is the S60,0000 which he allows her
a year.
But she knew exactly how to man
age her father, who Is given to imag-
lining things-so say her sons-and it
was only a short time until he was
denying the rumo:s that were flying
about that he had diisinherited her,
and was sending for her TO come home.
1t has been said, though, that he has
put it in his will in the form of re-
quest that his granddaughter. Cynthia
Burke Roche, shall not marry for
eigner, as her mother did.
Miss Van Aliens Victory.
In the late notoriety of young Rob-
ert Collier it was remembered what
strenuous opposition was put up
against him as a son-in-law by James
Van Allen. Mrs. Van Allen was the
daughter of Mrs. William Astor. and
1t has been said that Mr. James Van
Allen is one of the most snobbish men
in America. He refused the offer of
Grover Cleveland to send him as min
lister to Italy, and, like William Wal
dorf Astor. he has decided that Eng
land is the only place to live in and
bring up his family. When his young
est daughter, Sara, fell in love with
Robert Collier. his only objection to
the young man was because he was
Irish The rumor or their engagement
was at first scornfuIly denied by the
Van Aliens.
Mr.. Van Allen was obdurate, and, al
though his daughter declared she
would marry him ard nobody else, she
was whisked of to Europe in the hope
that she would forget him. Instead.
he followed, and she laid such siege
to her father that he looked on it
with little more favor. She returned
home, where she exercised the grand
coup and won over her grandmother
Mrs. William Astor. She also Joined
