titled to Title, but She
Says Nay

Chaotic are the love affairs of Mrs.
Vesta Shortridge Bruguiere, former
wife of Emil Bruguiere, strange the
erosial potpourri which careless
finger of fate has stirred, for hearing
of an announcement of her engagement
to William Havemeyer, son of the
sugar magnate, Joseph Eastland, one
of her admirers, cabled from Turin.
Italy, yesterday, presenting to the
world his claims upon the blonde
beauty and declaring in unequivocal
language that she is engaged to marry
him. This, however, Mrs. Bruguiere
denies. And the situation now stands
as follows, to wit:
Joseph L. Eastland says she is en-
gagged to marry him; she says she is
not; her friends say she is engaged to
William Havemeyer, and William
Havemeyer, who was expected to come
to California and openly announce the
betrothal, has not shown up

Short and to the Point

Eastland's cablegram was to the
point. 1t reads:
Editor, Call: Please deny rumor of
Mrs Bruguiere's engagement to Mr..
Havemeyer. Mrs. Bruguiere will con-
firm the fact of her engagement to
me-"
The only unfortunate hitch in the
arrangements was that Mrs Bruguiere
would not confirm the engagement to
him. On the contrary. she denied it.
There's nothing in it at ALL" she
said. that's all I've got to say
For Eastland it was enough, but the
answer In nowise cleared the air. If
anything, it made more higgedy- pig
gledy the whole bloomin' contret emps.
Prior to the advent of Havemeyer
society rumor placed Eastland, a
wealthy clubman, as the winner of the
young woman's affections For a time
after she secured divorce from Emil
Bruguiere there were some indicatio
of the two becoming reconejled, but
the antenuptial affections sinlmered
down to platonic friendship and Bru-
guiere stifed his sighs and stepped out
of the running. Whereat Eastland
loomed to the fore, mightier than ever
The San Francisco call., 1910-09-06
She Fails to Confirm

please deny published rumors of
Mrs. Vesta Bruguiere's engagement to
Mr.. Havemeyer," he wrote following
it with a burst of positive faith by
saying, Mrs. Bruguiere will confirm
the fact of her engagement to me-"
Within a few hours, as he lazily
wanders down the Via de Po and revels
baldi, he will learn of Mrs. Brugiere's
answer to his claims. What then7
1t is all mixed up. Havemeyer has
not come to California and the great
tea has not taken place.
Events have been moving rapidly
Bruguiere A few days ago her
brother punch edthe nose of too ar
dent admirer of hers at the Del Monte
hotel and had his punched in return.
In the midst of the notoriety following
the affair came the rumor of her en-
gagement to Hevemeyer and, on top of
that, she. the storm center, started on
40 mile walk to Post, a small place
near Del Monte.
She came to San Francisco yesterday
and registered at the ST. Francis ho-

Meets Scion of Sugar

Then events occurred. Mrs. Bruguiere
going to Honolulu is said to there have
met William Havemeyer, son of the
sugar magnate, and few days ago
her friends gave out a definite but un-
official announcement that she was en-
gagged to him. 1t was all planned
Havemeyer was to come to California
from New York; there was to be a
wonderful tea at Mrs. Bruguiere's home
in Monterey and the engagement was
to be given out publicly. Already
could be heard the peal of the wedding
bells.
In the meantime Eastland was in
Turin. Unsuspecting any kinks in the
chain of his love. he spent his days
dreaming along the Via di Po, silently
communing with memories along the
Via Garibaldi. thoughtfully but happily
reveling in the future as he strolled
down the Via Cernaja. Undoubtedly he
thought himself engag ged to Mrs. Bru-
guiere.
Suddenly came the awakening. Real
lied he then of the erosial pot pourri
and in indignation swore that it had
too much sugar in 1t to suit his palate.
No time was lost. Hurying to the cable
office, he hurtled his burning words
across the world:

Former State Senator Michael T.
Barrett and Mrs. Barrett, who returned
from @ tour of Europe last Friday and
went to Elberon, enjoyed very much
automobile rides through England, Ire
land, France Holland, Switzerland and
Germany and a stay of three weeks at
Carlsbad, the famous German health
resort, where they drank the waters
and took the baths.
Mr.. Barrett went to his law office
this morning and buckled into business.
He said that at Carlsbad he met Judge
Gottfried Kruger and family, Judge
Congdon, of the New Jersey Court of
Errors and Appeals; former Secretary

Heppenheimer and family of Jersey
City, Judge Kruger and family were
at Carlsbad five weeks. They viii sail
for home tomorrow on the steamer
Kaiser Wilhelm III( with other New
arkers who have been abroad all sum-
mer.
I'VE saw the great Passion Play at
Oberamergau with Judge Kruger and
family. 1t is truly a wonderful re-
ligious drama, and is alone worth a
trip to Europe to see. Many people
from Newark and New Jersey who
toured Europe this summer visited
Oberamergau to see the play and hun
dreds from all parts Of the United
States.
Impressive Presentation.
Every one l talked with said it was
a most impressive presentation of the
greatest religious tragedy in the his
tory of the world. and that the simple
peasant folk, who were the actors in
the drama, gave marvellous represen-
tation of the sacred persons in the
great dramatic story.
After a visit to London we motored
through England and saw old castles
and the great cathedrals and in trip
through ireland we spent a few days
in historic Dublin, visited the favored
lakes Of Killarney, the Giants Cause
way and saw some of the ancient round
towers OF Ireland that have been puz-
zle to men for many centuries. nobody
having even been able to ascertain
when they were erected and for what
purpose Visitors to ireland should
