ascendant of General Lafayette, and a
very prominent young Frenchman himself,
,ha prstwhile Miss Warren is hunting
Grizzlies. chasing wildcats and mountain
lions and riding balky pack mules up the
mountain trails Of California and Colorado.
The ruling passion is strong even III
death. that it may be equally strong il
marriage, and that as the girl is, so the
bride will be is being proved daily by the
former Newport belle and athlete.
As a girl the Countess had one ruling
nassion-that of Outdoing every other girl,
and most men, in strenuous sports. She
outswam, Outrode and outwalied every

Miss Warren and Count de Lasteyne
were married in December. They had
nerfectly conventional wedding ceremony,
and the brides trousseau was Just exactly
what any wealthy heiress of fashionable
society would want and have. The brides
friends said;
"Now that Connie Is married she will
settle down and we will never have any
more fun: she will become a true lady OF
the manor. and Newport will miss her &c
Centdcities."
Her delighted family smiled and said:
Now that dear Constance is married
to the Count, she will surely settle down
and become great lady; she will 20 70
France for her wedding trip and visit the
famous chateau belonging to the De Las
tevrie family, and soon we shall hear OF
her triumphs in Paris society.
The Counts family said:
The young people will return to our
home in France and devote themselves to
their tenantry and TO bringing up their
children"
Bt-the new Countess said something
that differed widely from all these prog
nosncations
Il cts 90 West on our wedding trip and
Ont loose from all the hoTrid conventions

gsgement was announced. Let's go
where I can wear trousers and shoe;
things that are wild and where you can
EARN Just how our Wild West really
iooks.'
And so the mule-pack wedding trip be-
gan Just when every one supposed that a
"trip to Europe would be in order.
( The bride was very canny. She did not
I ill her wedding trunks with the trousers
and other things that she knew she would
need No, she felt some consideration for
her conventional mothers feelings, ana
when the young couple left New YORK
they took with them Just the usual going
away garments OF the usual bride and
groom. But when they reached CHscago
the Countess spent two happy days SHOP
ping for her hunting OUTFIT, and she also
telegraphed the caretaker of her Newport
home 10 ship her athletic outht, ALREADY
packed, 10 San Francisco.
In order to carry out her cherished, but
very unusual plans, the bride had TO 90
some things that she did not want to.
For instance she had to spend a Few
days on the Coast" Therefore the
Count and Countess went to San Fran
cisco. where they visited friends, and
from there they went TO Los Angeles.
Now, of course the Countess knew very
little about the West: she had never be
fore been in California, and neither had
the Count When. therefore, they packed

Countess found hat Los Angeles was Just

her adorable trousers had TO be left IN
her trunk
But the bride was not discouraged. and
began searching Tor the real West, where
she could get the grizzlies and the lions
and wear the trousers. And she found Il.
too. in the widest part of the SierraS,

Allowed the privilege of looking over the
shoulder Of one of these friends while she

thinks of her mulepaeh wedding trip,
Our pack consists of four mules my
