notified to be in readiness to proceed
by Monday afternoon.

members of the royal family at STAFFORD

Ever since her marriage, Lady Rosslyn
undoubtedly has conducted herself with
the utmost discretion and dignity, and
her forbearance was great until her
patience was overtried.

by her husband. She is pretty, very
fascinating and quite young. She first
met Lord Rosslyn at Monte Carlo eight
months ago. He then was on board
yacht, which he and the countess had
chartered. Rosslyn invited the woman
to take cruise, whereupon the countess
promptly packed her things a left with
her maid. Some weeks afterward, how
ever, she again took Roseyn back, but
after another similar experience she part
ed with him finally.
AT the recent gala performance of
royal opera the countess box was few

her tiara of gems and her beautiful cos

not interfere with those who grounded

in demonstrating the extent of their cul-

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, July 20.-"Imagine my sur
prise" said the Countess of Rosslyn (who
is better known in America as the for
mer actress, the beautiful Anna Rob-
inson) at her house on Norfolk street,
Park Lane, "wher driving down Picca-
dilly the other afternoon at seeing news
boys rushing along carrying huge bills
with The Countess of Rosslyn' in great
black letters. l told my servant to stop
and buy a paper, expecting it must con-
tain some entertaining news concerning
my mother-ir-law. To my intense as
tonishment I found 1 was the heroine of
the day."
Those papers contained the announce
ment that she had. instituted proceedings
against the earl, a fact which she had
taken every pains to keep secret. Her
expectation that her mother-in-law,
Blanche, Countess of Rosslyn, was f1gur-
ing before the public was not altogether
unwarranted, as that lady was recently
in the bankruptcy court.
The beautiful countess made her state
ment with a gleam of humor in her eye.
Then she Continued:
Planned 1t Before
'It was eight months ago that I de-
cided on divorce, but 1 hoped l might
get through withou. undue notoriety.
Since the news has leaked out have not
had a peaceful moment. Cables from
America, telegrams from Scotland, tele-
phones and reporters have poured in
upor me incessantly. I want it clearly
understood that 1 cannot talk further
about my affairs to any one"
The countess is suing for divorce on
the statutory grounds of cruelty and un-
faithfulness. One of the allegations Of
cruelty is that the earl had an inerad-
icable passion for gambling. The CO.
respondent is the woman with whom, it
is alleged, the earl IL now yachting off
Norway.
Lady Rosslyn is looking remarkably
we'll and, although naturally worried
about this very serious after, is con-
fident of easily winning her suit. In
fact. it il probable that the suit will
not be defended. Lord RJsslyn has left
no address, and as the yacht is moving
about from place to place frequently and
does not touch land for days, possibly
he is not aware of the publication OF
the coming case. Besides it is unlikely
that Rosslyn will return to England, for
his affairs are in a tangled condition.
Paid His Debts
Lady Rosslyn paid an enormous num-
ber of debts for him when they were
first married.
His sister, the Duchess of Sutherland,
arranged the present yachting expedi-
ton for her brother not realizing that he
would have such a companion. The an
noyance of the Duchess of sutherland
and her family was no doubt intensified
by the fact that the day before the di-
vorce petition was published she enter

Between a Millionaire and a
Plumber-Love Romance
Spoiled

Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, July 20.--The romance of an
heiress and her penniess lover, their
elopement and a few brief weeks of
welded bliss, have been followed by the
abduction of the bride in the paternal
motor car
A few weeks ago a young plumber
named Dehaulan eloped with the 21-
year-old daughter of a French million
aire famed Piedallu. The young lady
was heiress to a fortune of $9,OOOOOO. The
plumber, a smart, handsome young fell
low, had been employed on some work
by the girls father.
The heiress took fancy to him, and
in few days the plumber eloped with
her The girls father was furious, and
determined to leave the little town of
Vile ,Adau, which had become distaste-
full to him, and went in spite of mon
ster petition asking him to stay.
Meanwhile the lovers had Travelled to
Belgium, and in OsteLd the plumber had
secured work at the Palace hotel.
His sweetheart brought him his din
ner every day, and the plumber brought
her home his wages The girl was a
model housekeeper, and gave her lover
two-pence a day to buy tobacco.
Neither of the lovers knew that Pie
dallu. the girls father, was large
shareholder and a director of the hotel.
When the manager found out the name
of the plumber he remembered all about
the elopement. and communicated with
Piedallu.
A few days ago, while the plumber was
at work, a motor car, in which was the
girls father, arrived, and the runaway
was carried off as she was bringing the
plumbers S midday meal.
The plumber now returned to Paris to
look for his juliet, and lodged charge
of abduction against the father offering
a reward of 500 for information as to

Miss Yaw Sings for Crowds
After the chairman, it is doubtful if
anybody was more deeply interested in
the success of the day than Ellen Beach
Yaw, the singer. A native herself of
Covina, she caught the spirit of the
game early and by permission of her
manager attired herself in Gypsy cos
tune ard went among the visl,ors tell
ing fortunes. In this way she collected
upwards of $3.50 for the expense fund.
Miss Yaw again showed her friendly
disposition when she read the erroneous
report that she was to sing during the
day. That was not the plt n at ALL but
rather than disappoint a large number
Of admirers she gave a brief recital in
the grammar school assembly room and
repeated the numbers twice afterward
to satisfy the overflow.
Meanwhile a reception by women of
Covina was in progress at Woman's hall
and this was followed by an entertaining
recital by the vocal pupils of Mrs. Ben
Thorpe, a sister of Miss Yaw.
