ter of the Philadelphia magnate, who,
although married, eloped with Sam
uel Clarkson, young Englishman,
which will be one of the notable ex-

comment from those who have view
ed it in the Marquise's studio. They
say that on the face of the subject
rests an expression of quiescent
grief
Miss Maloney was surprised not
infrequently in a sad mood while sit
ting for the portrait. On one of these
occasions, the Marquise said: You
have youth, beauty, health, wealth
and good position, in fact, everything
one could desire. Yet you don't seem
happy. Why is this?"
Miss Maloney evaded reply at first,
saying she did not know, but later
she confessed:
Il will have to go back to Ameri-
ca soon, hate America, where /
will have to marry and settle down.
There is nothing in all that life which
