New York.-Is there ever time In
a womans life when the possibility of
romance is dead? is her heart ever
stecled to Cupid's shafts? What is
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
now in this twentieth century. Prac-
teal as it 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
rying hoary-bearded December Next
we have mustached May the blushing
bridegroom of motherly December. 1t
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
ian actress of two continents. She
has recently taken to herself a third
husband-James Carew They were
married on March 22 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
~ years. but he looked younger. Miss
Terry told that she had been married
twice before--divorced once and wild
owed the second time. She gave her
birthday as February 81, 1913.
Romance has always played a part
in the life of Mrs. Charles T. Yerkes-
Miner. When as the beautiful Mary
Adelaide Moore of Philadelphia she
met Charles T. Yerkes he was not the
multi-millionaire that he was when he
died. He had been out of the peni-
Tertiary but little while; still The
goiden-haired girl loved him and he
loved her. They were married
Wealth came faster and faster.
Mr.. Yerkes became one of the fore.
most traction men of this country and
Europe. He had a beautiful Chicago
home, but Mrs. Yerkes wanted another
in New York. So the multi-millionaire
built another one-a great brown
stone pile in upper Fifth avenue.
He died on December 20, 1905. With
in month along came handsome
six-foot Californian. Wilson Miner by
name. He lad way with the women
that was wonderful, and in the Golden
West he had left reputation as a
lady'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 nifty
was akin to love. His sympathy was
so apparently genuine, his solicitude
so tender that the widow was touched
very deeply.
Admits Mistake in Marriage.
Young Mr.. Miner himself felt the
call ST Cupid. From commiseration he
turned to courtship: he won an easy
victory after whirlwlnd attack on
the citadel of the widows heart
Within month after Mr.. Yerkes'
death they were quietly married
But here the romance died a-born.
Ing. Mr.. Miner soon shook the dust
of Fifth avenue from his feet, and
Mrs. Yerkes-Mizner declared that it
had all been mistake.
But now the case of Miner VS.. Miz.
ner is even before the court
Death alone robbed Mrs Frank Les
lie OF a fourth marriage. When the
MUtquis de Campa,legre, Spanish
noble. died in Paris recently, Mrs.
Leslie-that is the name by which she
chooses to be known-told to her
friends that she had promised to be
his bride. Her trousseau had already
been made in Paris. the wedding set
for early this month.
