News has just been received in Colo
RADIO Springs of the quiet-seeret,
in fact-marriage of Countess de la
Chesnaye, formerly Miss Madeline
Desmond Of this city, at Washington
a month ago to Djelal Bey, first sec
retary to the Turkish embassy at the
nations capital. The wedding cere-
mony was doubly performed, first
according to the American usage and
then according to the Turkish cere-
mony.
Mrs. Bey is a sister of Mrs. Claude
Sachs of Colorado Springs whose hus-
band is editor and owner of the Min
ing Investor and for many years
lived in this city. For several years
she was stenographer employed by
the Shields Morley Grocery company.
Dejelal Bey first met the young
woman, who is now his bride, on a
steamship on which both were com
ing from Paris to America. The Turk
fell in love with her and sought an
introduction. The courtship was
brief, but arduous on his part, and
they soon became engaged. Mr.. and
Mrs. Bey are spending their honey
moon at one of the eastern watering
places. They expect to make their
future home at Washington.
Countess de la Chesnaye was di-
vorced from Count de la Chesnaye
several years ago, after rather
stormy domestic life. Count de la
Chesnaye first met Miss Desmond in
the east. lie believed she was very
wealthy and laid siege to her heart.
Miss Desmond believed his title came
from the French government instead
of from the pope and she was not
averse to becoming countess and
they were married.
1t did not take long for both to
become disillusioned and they began
quarrelling. Each accused the other
of misrepresenting their prospects.
Count de la Chesnaye and his wife
came to Colorado Springs, where the
former cut quite swath in club and
social circles. Claude Sachs proved
"good angel" for the count, vouch.
ing for him at the FL Paso club and
other places. The count contracted
many bills which Sachs had to pay,
ii is alleged.
The climax came when Count de
la Chesnaye fell in love with Mrs.
William Mckay Barbour, formerly
Miss Colgate Of New York, Barbour
was then business manager of the
Colorado Springs Gazette. He found
reason to divorce his wife and she
and the count left the city together
or within few hours after each
other. Months later, when Countess
de Ia Chesnaye secured her divorce,
the count and Mrs. Barbour were Sc
cretly married at Wheeling, W. Va.
The biggest row that ever develop
ed in the Country club here, one Of
the exclusive social organizations,
was when Richard J. Bolles, then
president of the institution, handed
in Countess de la Chesnaye's name
as a guest at prospective function
at the blus. The protests became so
strong that Boles withdrew the
young woman's name and went so
far as to threaten to resign as presi-
dent of the cub. Before Miss Des-
mond married Count de la Chesnaye,
she and Bolles were much together.
Bolles at that time was wealthy and
as he had just been divorced from
his wife, the impression became gen.
eral that he and the pretty stenogra-
pher would some day marry. Later,
il was reported that Bolles intended
leaving his wealth to Miss Desmond,
but when his luck went against him
in his numerous mining ventures, The
young woman married Count de Ia
