which later terminated In divorce,
and the previous and subsequent car
eer of Nine. &c Rougemont have been
suddenly revived by two circum-
stances.
One is the arrival here of Ehlers
himself lie came by the last Sierra.
The other Is the arrival In San
Francisco a week later of his divorced
wife, who came up from Papeete in
the South Seas. When she reached
San Francisco on November IA, there
developed still another ENHANCEMENT
The San Francisco Chronicle tells
OF II as follows:
"Thirty-fve trunks, a bald-headed
baby boy two months old, two maids,
and Marguerite de Rougemont. known
In Papeetc, Tahiti. as the Countess"
were the center of attraction ut the
Pacific-strect dock yesterday morning
when the steamer MaripOsa locked.
THE Countess was not so much the
cause of all the disturbance as the
baby, Rouri Henrys. All because of
him there was an enforced trip to
Angel island for "the Countess" and
her retinue, including her young at
torney. Matters were finally ex-
planned to the satisfaction of all.
1.-The Countess with her luggage,
her maids. the baby and her attorney,
we're safely landed at the Stewart Ho-
tel soon after noon, and the lady
known from Paris to the divorce court
of San Francisco, breathed sigh OF
relief when Il was all over.
"There was something of mystery
about the whole affair, but the expla-
nation of Nine. de Rougemont settled
affairs, and she will proceed on her
way to Paris, stopping in San Fran
cisco merely to collect a final decree
of divorce that is coming to her as the
result of her last matrimonial exper-
iment
Anyway, she says the baby Is not
hers. She told the immigration OFF,
GERS at Angel Island that II was not
her child, and with that explanation
she is to proceed. Still, no one OFF,
cially connected with the Government
knows just whose child 1t is. Mean
while, accompanied by two maids,
whose names appear on the Mariposa
passe niger list as Annie Adams and
Dagmar Smith. the bald-headed little
Frenchman IL seeing the sights of San
Francisco from big touring car.
Taking Baby Ia Paris.
There Is a regulation that alien
babies cannot be admitted to this
country unless accompanied by their
parents. When the Mariposa arrived
yesterday, the passenger list showed
that Mime. dc ROugemont, child and
two maids" occupied one of the larger
suits.
"Immigration Inspector Antoine de
la Tore asked the usual questions of
the lady.
ct Is your child" he asked In the
course of his examination.
Certainly not" replied Nine. de
Rougemont Then she told that she
| was taking the baby to its father In
Paris. The inspector couldn't under
| stand II all, so he sent the party over
to Angel Island. where Immigration
Commissioner Backus, with his as
sistant, Harry Edsell, wrestlcd with
the case, and finally decided that
Nine. de Rougemont might be allowed
to proceed on her way to paris with
| the child and turn 1t over to its faith

Not II Happy Marriage.
1.-TWO years ago in Honolulu she
marriage was not happy one. II
