Vanity Is sometimes amiable and almost In
gratiating. The Democratic candidates vanity
is becoming insoent In his Walabout Market
speech yesterday he had the effrontery to as
sumo that If a labor leader broke away from
Gompers and voted against Bryan 1t would be
because Of "pecuniary interest" He went on
to say:
There was one man among the twelve who could
would betray; and there may be among the labor
leaders some who will be Indifferent to these things
But laboring man wants to betr9y the Ia fo
9o;nopo1ies: let him not betray labor with kiss
and pretend to do it in the interest Of labor
It Is safe to assert that among the working
men TO whom Mr.. Bryan appeals with SNUG and
malicious stuff Of this sort there many
whom it angers and nauseates
One of the most intent and puzzled listeners
at the Bryan Madison Square Garden meeting
on Monday evening was the astral body Of the
famous government ownership of railroads
speech of August, 1905.
Chairman Mack exhibits a moderation at
which he must be himself surprised in not car
rying Vermont. Pennsylvania and Massachu-

The obvious comment is that New York's
curiosity, which filed the Garden in 1885, is
unsatiated after twelve years But, thon any

fall desperately in love, though well
he knew that he must marry royalty
to inherit the kaiser's throne.

He Immediately proposed Miss
Deacon knew very well that the best
the prince could offer her was NOR
ganatic marriage, and she rejected his
suit Thereupon the gallant emper-
or-to-be offered to renounce his rights
of succession and to leave Germany
forever, if need be, in order to marry
Miss Deacon on terms of equality.
OF course the kaiser got wind OF
what was going on
The young lover was promptly or
dered back to Berlin There stormy
interview took place. At first the
prince bravely stuck to his guns But
when the emperor threatened to lock
up his eldest son in fortress the
heir capitu1ated.
To-day the crown prince is happily
married to wife of his fathers

A year went by and the chance of
society threw Miss Deacon and the
duke of Norfolk together The duke.

AS soon as she was well launched
in society, Miss Deacon began making
strong friendships in the great world
Some of the most important people in
the Faubourg st. German set of Paris
became her intimates; in London she
chummed with the duchess of MARI
borough, the duchess of Devonshire.
the dowager duchess of Manchester
and Mrs Arthur Paget, all of them of
tremendous social advantage to Miss
Deacon.
Suitors in Plenty.
Mrs Baldwin had Lady Somerset's
house in Mayfair, London; a beautiful
little maison opposite the Chapel of
Our Lady of Consolation, in Paris,
and a villa at Versailles
With all these charms, it could not
be-. doubted but that Gladys Deacon
would soon have suitors enough to
satisfy even the most exacting deb
utante. The first soon appeared
to be precise, in 1900 He was Claude
Lowther. called the handsomest man
in England Together they made
striking pair, and the matchmakers
had them engaged-by rumor But
it was not to be. Gladys Deacon went
her way and Mr.. Lowther went his
For brief period the prince of Lich-
tenstein was favored; then he was
dismissed.
Next in line came Lord Francis
Hope, who was even then getting his
divorce from May Yohe, the one-time
soubrette, who had run away with
Capt. Putnam Bradlee Strong, son of
the late Mayor Strong of New York
But Gladys Deacon gave the noble
lord, who some day may be the duke
of Newcastle, his congo, and he mar
rfed some one else.
Then came the affair which nearly
brought about international complica-
lions. Only Miss Deacon's natural
good sense saved the day. The Ger
man emperor, who wished his eldest
son, heir to the throne, to see some
thing in English life, graciously con-
sented that Prince Fritz should pay a
visit to Blenheim palace. the regal
home of the duke of Marlborough and
his American bride, once Consuelo
Vanderbilt. The duchess, who wanted
to make his stay as pleasant as pos
sible, invited Miss Deacon to meet
him. The prince, always susceptible
to feminine charms, had already seen
and admired her on the continent.

the English country life their former

cedence of every other peeress- But
Miss Deacon refused the duke and
that was the end of it
Prince Charming Arrives.
Two years later Lord Brooke, son
and heir of the earl of Warwick, came
on the scene. He was young, good
looking, not rich, but had influence at
court through his mother. People
really believed that Miss Deacon had
lost her heart at last, but it was a
false alarm.
And then-Baron Antoine de Char
cite,
Amiab1e, good looking, very rich,
possessed of important position and
scion of one of the proudest families
in France. the young nobleman is one
of the most desirable parts in Eu-
rope.
There is good American blood in the
young baron His mother was Miss
Antoinette Polk of Tennessee, niece
of President James K. Polk. After the
civil war Mrs. Polk took her two
daughters. Antoinette and Rebecca,
and her son. Van Leer Polk, to Italy
to live. 1t was in Rome that Antoi
nette Polk met Baron de Charette,
then serving at the vatican The i'm
questionable Italians had already
hailed the fair American as TIE most
beautiful woman who had e~07 Nnme
to their shores, and the Baron de
Charette agreed with them. He laid
siege to Miss Folks heart, won her
and brought her home to Paris as his
bride.
One son was born, Antoine. From
his mother the young man inherits
splendid plantations in Tennessee and
from his paternal side some of the
greatest art treasures in France.
Among them is a portrait IF Queen
Marie Antoinette by Nine. Viego le
Brun, given by the queen to the
Duchess de Choiseul, now coming in
direct succession to the young baron,
fourth in line.
At Present in America.
Young Antoine is at present here in
the United States attending to the
properties of his mother and the in
terests in the estate, because of the
sudden death of his uncle, Van Leer

ago in Memphis. He had been United
States consul-general at Bombay, un-
der President Cleveland, and lately
had been appointed by President
Roosevelt as one of five delegates to

Miss Deacon's face is almost classic

Greeks, denoting to some extent the
intellectually of this foreign born
American girl. Her wit and vivacity
would have made her a woman of note
even without the charming loneliness
with which nature has so lavishIy en-

Her skin is fair, very white and al
most transparent There is almost no
coloring in her cheeks, yet she bushes
beautifully when she is interested But
her lips are of that brilliant red which
no cosmetic save perfect health can
give. Her nose is pure Greek; her
mouth a Cupid's bow The chin is
strong and firm Her teeth are
dazzling.
She speaks French, German and
Italian with equal f1uency, and her
Partisan accent when she speaks Eng
