Five and Even Fifty.
New York-ls there ever a time in
woman's life when the possibility of
romanoe is dead? Is her heart ever
steeled to Cupid's shafts? What is a
woman's prime of life, anyway? These
are serious questions. They have been
asked since the beginning of time;
doubtless they will be asked to its
end. But never has an answer been
more frequently demanded than right
aow in this twentieth century. Prac-
ical as 1t is, these times are far from
being shorn of romance
In youth, in age, woman's power of
loving seems always just the same.
One day we have maidenly May mar
.ying hoary-bearded December Next
we have mustached May the bushing
bridegroom of motherly December. IL
IS all the same-the only safe answer
TO the question is that there doesn't
seem to be any woman in the world
who can finally put aside romance for
the more practical things of life.
And who could have given more
prominence to this very thing than
Miss Ellen Terry, premier Shakespear-
tan actress of two continents. She
has recently taken to herself a third
husband-James Carew. They were
married on March % last in Pittsburg
by Justice of the Peace Campbell.
Terry's Youthful Husband.
The Pennsylvania law requires GER
tain questions. Young Mr.. Carew said
he was born in Indiana and was an
actor by profession. He owned up to
92 years, but he looked younger. Miss
Tory told that she had been married
twice before-divorced once and wild
owed the second time. She gave her
birthday as February 27, 1S4S.
Romance has always played a part

in a month along came a handsome
six-foot Californian, Wilson Mizner by
name. He had a way with the women
that was wonderful, and in the Golden
West he had left a reputation as a
iady's man which would be hard to
duplicate.
He had known Mrs. Yerkes for
about year. He called to express his
grief at her sorrow. Here again pity
was akin to love. His sympathy was
so apparently genuine, his solicitude

very deeply.
Admits Mistake In Marriage.
Young Mr.. Miner himself felt the
call of Cupid. From commiseration he
turned to courtship; he won an easy
victory after a whirlwlnd attack on
the citadel Of the widows heart
Within a month after Mr.. Yerkes
death they were quietly married.
But here the romance died a-born-

of Fifth avenue from his feet, and
