ROMANTIC LIFE STORY OF
The SAMUEL NEWHOUSES
With Big American Heart Mistress of Millions is Proud
OF the Humble Beginnings and the Realization of
The Fondest Dreams Of Her Husband While Both
Were in Quest Of Fortune in the Rockies.

In entertaining fashion, the romantic
story of the Samuel Newhouses IRON
miners cabin to London palaces is told
lin the Sunday issue of the Denver Post.
The story follows:
From the pots and pans and wash
tub of a miners iuss cabin in the
/ Rocky mountains to the triumph of u
specially invited guest at King Ed
wards state ball in buckingham pal
| ace seems long road Tor All American
/ girl to travel, reaching mat royal dcS-
tnation, too while still in the heyday
OF her beauty
4 Yet that Is the outline of the roman
! tic history of Mrs. Samuel Newhousc,
famous London hostess wearer OF the
| finest and costlest string of pearls i'll
| existence. mistress of multi-milions,
who has lately returned to her native
country for a brief visit
| There is one thing that sets this
| American woman quite apart from the
] majority of her cuuntrywomen who
| have established themselves in the best
| European society. She is not ashamed
| of her humble beginnings. She is
great beauty, slender delicate, with the
! bearing of duchess. Yet she seems
| even to welcome opportunities to re-
| call to the minds of her aristocratic
| friends the fact that she has cooked
| her husbands dinners and washed his
shirts.
Perhaps it will serve as an object les
son to newly rich American social
climbers in Europe that this unasham-
ed frankness about her humble past, IN
stead of operating as q handicap to Mrs
Newhouse's social progress abroad, ac-
tually assists in the realization of her
ambitions In that direction. All aristo-
Gratis detest a snob and are apt to con-
slider the American variety the most
detcstable of all.
HAPPY DAYS IN SALT LAKE.
Mrs. Newhouse is mistress of a Lon
don residence which is really palace
and her willing guests are the noblest
In England; and they all know her
story, many OF them from her own lips
Once, at one OF her grandest func-
tons, the conversation turned ON the
subject Of happiness. Most people
would have imagined that Mrs. New
houses happiest period in her life was
the present, with wealth and POSITION
all her ambitions achieved, Yet whcn
the question was put to her, she an
swered at once:
1T seems to me that the happiest
DAVIS of my life were spent in Salt Lake
CITY. when | was Il bookkeeper at STU
a week"
Nobody was shocked. On the contrary,
new and vital interest had been IN
jccted into the conversation. Inc
guests, most of whom were of ancient
families, With inherited wealth ana only
theoretical knowledge of privation OF
any sort were eager to learn at first
hand more Of this wonderful romance.
Ina sriuc tho scene as Mrs. NeWhouse,
easily and laughinsly, Obliged her
guests to this effect:
II often laugh over those old days,
but, to tell the truth. they were mighty
sweet days for all that. WIS
