Paris. - Special: Robert Winthrop
Chanler. the distinguished kinsman of
the Astors, who, after a remarkable
courtship won and welded Lima Cava-
lieri. the grand opera prima donna, on
June IS, has left Paris mysteriously,
and it Is supposed that he is on his
way to America.
His beautiful and famous bride, who
until a few days ago was convalescing
In a Paris hospital from the effects of
an operation for appendicitis, does not
accompany him on the trip. She is
now at Cobourg, near Trouville.
Mr.. Chanler, in company with his
sisterinlaw, Mrs. William Aston Chan
Ter, Of New York, left his wife's home,
No. % Avenue Messine, last Tuesday.
1t Is reported in Paris that MIR. Chan
Ter was unable, owing to family oppo-
sition to his recent marriage, to ar
range the settlement Of 500. 900 annuity
on his wife, which he had told friends
1t was his intention to 40.
Has Been "Hard Up"
His departure was a surprise. Ever
since n wedding, Nine. Cavalier and
her husband " declared their intcn-
ton to remain In Paris indefinitely,
while he should go on with his paint
ing and h should prepare for a brief
season on the stage. A trip TO Japan
was discussed early in the summer, but
no hint was given of a journey that
should separate the newly married
couple even for q brief time.
IT was known among Chanler's artist
friends that he was hard up recently.
He was trying to borrow small sums,

MacCameron, the American painter,
who has just completed a portrait of
Rodin. This is considered strange, as
he had told these friends at a little
gathering early in August that he
would give his bride $40. 600 q year
from his income, and that he himself
would worry along on the $4,000 or so
that remained.
Wherever Mr.. Chanler may be, he is

She Meets Noble Admirer.
Meanwhile Cavalieri has emerged
from the hospital in Neuilly, where she
was next door patient to James r. Hat
maker, the former private secretary Of
the late Cornelius Vanderbilt.
b the first person she met was
Prince Paul olgorouki, a big, tall Rus
sian with a bushy brown beard and
only two teeth. The prince had sent
flowers to Lima every day during her
illness. She did not leave Paris by the
same train as D~olgorouki, but it is said
the prince is now also at Cabourg.

Prince DolgOrouki retaliated by call
ing out the whole club, demanding to
fight them in turn. Two accepted the
challenge. n shots were exchanged
without damage. Since then the prince
has been q familiar figure in Paris and
at Monte Carlo.
The report of Mr.. CHAMBERS gift OF
the $40, 900 annuity to his bride came
early in August. almost coincident with
the sudden nffliction which took Mr..
Hatmaker to the same hospital where
Nine. Cavalieri was convalescing.
One night Mr.. Hatmaker asked an
American friend, a Mr.. Sullivan, to
dine with him. After dinner. he sug-
gested that they run down to Cava-
lieri's house and get the diva and Bob
to show them a little bit of life I'm the
wilds of Montmartre. But when they
arrived at No. % Avenue Messine, they
found that Cavalieri had just been
taken to the hospital.
Mr.. Cbanler vas at horne and showed
Mr.. lawmakers friend h little sketch
he had just dashed off. and Mr.. Sulli-
van was so taken with it that lie
bought 1t on h spot for 500. which
would seem 30 show that there was not
any great amount OF money lying
around in the Chanler menage.
But the strange coincidence was that
when Mr.. Hatmaker got home he was
taken suddenly i'll. DR.. Malherbe per-
formed an operation for an internal
abscess of the ear and ordered Hat
makers removal to a hospital. When
Hatmaker woke up he found himself in
an adjoining room to Cavaleiri In the
cliniQue.
