YEW YORK.-It is not half SO
surprising that SO many chorus
girls marry millionafres as 1t
Is that so many OF them re-
main happily married.
Why is it that chorus girls
make good millionairesses?
The question was put to Edna May
OF Belle Of New York" fame, who is
now Mrs. Oscar Lewiston.
Her married life has been ideally
happy-of which she Is far more
proud than her success on the musical
comedy stage. Before she made her
great success as the Salvation Army
lassie in THE Belle of New York" she
was an obscure chorus girl, and her
husband Is member of the rich Lew
isohn family of bankers. with several
million dollars in his own right.
In these days of quick marriage
and quicker divorce of rich men and
women of the stage it is difficult to
lay down any rules or recipe for their
marital happiness" said Mrs. Lew
isohn when interviewed at the st.
Regis during her recent visit here.
But am sure If couples lived as Mr.
Lewiston and live there wouldn't be
any unhappy marriages. We live a
simple, wholesome, outdoor life, spend
ing the greater part OF our time in the
country. We fish, we hunt, we drive
and We play golf Always we are to-

NAVIGATING TIGERS
Inhabitants Of corean-Manchu
Border in Constant Terror.
Villages Visited Almost Daily by the
Beasts and Absolutely Disregard
the Efforts Of the Poorly Armed
Natives to Kill Them.

Observation-Disclosures from the
Corean-Manchu border bring startling
tales Of the activities Of the Siberian
tigers in that locality. According to
an English writer, who just has re-
turned from an extensive trip in that
region, the natives live in q constant
state Of abject fear for their lives.
Some Of the villages are visited al
most daily by tigers, who, with an alb
solute disregard Of the efforts of the
mildly combative natives and the
dozen or two small spears and arrows
that eventually, porcupine quill fash
ion, decorate their rough hides, smash
In hut doors and proceed to devour
everybody In sight. Unable to get
within striking distance Of live prey
these tigers will visit the graveyards.
The natives of the smaller villages,
with their primitive arms, being pow
erless against these man-eating
beasts, big battues are organizing in
Seoul and are sallying forth in an ef-
fort to rid the country Of the ''noxious
vermin."
Hunting tigers along the Corean-
Manchu border is not the child's play
that trailing similar beasts in India
has become. There is none of the
difficulty and evaporation Of having
to deal with a small army Of native
beaters; for, unlike the jungle tiger OF
Bengal, who sleeps away the day and
pounces by night on his prey at drink.
ing places, the northern beast is at
his fullest activity by day. Instead OF
having to steal, from the security of
an elephant howdah, with a sleepy.
surprised creature that covers, alarm.
ed by the beaters, from the path OF
your ponderous mount, one is out to
encounter thoroughly well-awake
brute, ravaging the open countryside;
and you are, If you follow the Russian
custom, afoot. One may rely on the
element Of sport beng well to the
fore.

IS the finest wild beast alive. The
further north one goes the better spe
cimen of tiger one meets, till one
comes eventually to the pink of per
lection, the super-tiger, on the hinter
land of Vladivostock. He is as phys
ically superior to the Bengal tiger al
the wildcat is to the domestic pussy

A Bengal tiger-in fact, any scrt oil
tiger in a mild climate-has a thin
pelt; it is sufficiently warm for him
But in the cold climate, where there
Is constant exposure, as in the Oosoo.
RE, to winter temperature of 20
degrees below zero, the fur becomes
so luxuriant that you may plunge
both hands out Of sight in it. The
Siberian tigers pelt is worth nearly
twice as much, commercially, as that
of the Malay branch of the family.
A Siberian tigress runs to only
about $50 pounds. The biggest Ben
gal tiger encountered rarely will ex-
coed 400 pounds. The Siberian tiger,
however, often runs to $50 pounds and
even 600 pounds.

All of those who have written the

the prospect of reading another book

the novelist that she could do every

Tossing that she thought this would
afford her a good chance to pick a
husband from among the wealthy set.
Mrs. Futrelle has been compelled to
answer that she is not running an

fears positions like Loulie's are few
