1910, Mrs. Donaldson went to Reno and
there sued for divorce She was granted
it. But she had to make several con-
cessions first, largely along the line of
the charges against her husband, before
the decree was hers. At first she insisted
that excessive cruelty on his part was to
be blamed for the state of affairs which
existed. She claimed that she had to
sell gifts which had been given her in
order to buy clothes for her baby. But
her husband fought these charges so bit
terly that she finally withdrew them and
obtained the divorce on the grounds of
desertion alone. Also the judge ordered
that the child should be given into her
custody but six months of every year
and should be with her husbands fam
lily for the other six months.
Right there is where the story of the
police record begins.
Mrs. Keith Donaldson claims that the
Judge also decreed that during those lat
ter six months-which were to be the
winter ones-she should be allowed to
see the child once a month. But as she
has been away a great deal of the time
in the past few years, and out of the
country, she has not always taken ad-
vantage of this right.
London has been her temporary home
since New York grew blustery last Oc-
tober, until a month ago when she re-
turned, she claims, to see about her ali
mony.
And on December IS, she went to the
home OF Mrs. w. E. Donaldson, her
m0ther-in-law, to see Dorothy, who is
now seven years old.
"I was entirely within my. rights" the
young mother insists, but l was re-
fused. Actually 1, my little Dorothy's
mother, was refused sight of her by the
French maid, who opened the door"
From this time on the accounts of the
ensuing five minutes differ.
This much only is definitely known.
The police headquarters received a call
from Mrs. Donaldson, Sr.. asking them
to send a man Immediately to arrest a
woman at her home. Two were sent
There they found the chic daughter-in-
mother-in-law. and an extremely excited
and voluble French maid, whose volu-
bility nevertheless seemed to lack CO.
herency.
The mother-in-law ordered that the
daughter-in-law be arrested and locked
up. She was quite definite about the
locking up" part of her orders. Said
daughter-in-law, she complained, had en-
tered her home by force and torn hand
fuls of hair from the frightened head of
the loyal French maid who was simply

IT is not an entry to excite interest

reocCurs down the sOrdid pages

visions Of drifting derelicts of the street
with petty violence as their only weapon
in procuring a bed and meal
And when the name before the charge
IB a wUmans name and the age is
marked "25." it only adds shiver to it,
makes it a bit more sordid and perhaps
a bit pathetic
But you must not allow curiosity to be
too easily quelled or you will miss con-
siderable in this world. And drifting
derelicts and outcast women are by no
means the only members Of our society
who have no permanent address and no
occupation. Also. according to an irate
member Of Philadelphia society, they are
not the only ones who fall back on as

and food to eat.
For instance there is Mrs Keith Don

millionaire bride"
And Mrs. Keith Donaldson is the
heroine of this particular entry. 1t was

however, and the name revered on Chest
nut avenue never was imprinted on that
record of the country's unsystematized
activities until it preceded the descrip-
ton Of his dainty, divorced, and defiant
wife.
Mrs. Keith Donaldson not only ap-
pears in name on that police station rec
ord. but she spent the night in person
behind one of the sets OF bars there, in
a regular cell, where any other criminal,
also charged with assault and battery,
would have spent the night under similar
circumstances. And those circumstances
meant being brought to the station by
two uniformed officers, as had other ten
ants Of the cell been brought on nights

aldsOn saw the world from the other side
OF the bars. six hours in which all the sor-
rows and all the grievances Of the past
seven years lOOmeu large anu lSIIlOlo

Mrs. Donaldson, Sr., was the irate
Philadelphia who was responsible for
this last attack upon the rights and dig
nifty of her handsome young daughter
in-law, and 1t is not likely that Mrs.
Donaldson, Sr, will be forgotten in the
millionaire brides" list Of grievances
when it is told of in the future.
Behind that branding charge, behind
the six blocks walk to the police station
with two uniformed police, behind all
that sounds hysterical and vengeful and
degrading in the whole affair Is the ever

among Keith's old friends bowed to this
blonde slip of a girl from Memphis. who
made one constantly wonder whether it
was the vivacity or the languor Of the
Southern girl which had been so much
praised and how a combination of the
charms could exist in one person. Mrs
Smith Hollins McKim and Mrs. Elsie
French Vanderbilt were among her inti-
mate friends.
Then came the million dollars, which
has since become so famous in social
history Of New York and Philadelphia
Maybe that was what changed the luck
and scared away the aura bearers.
On the twenty-frst birthday Of the
bride, soon after her marriage. Silent
Jim" Smith. who had been a partner Of
Mrs. Donaldson's uncle, Charles Whitney
Payne, gave a dinner and in the bouquet
at her place was found a check for ST.
100000. 1t was her share in the settle
ment of the Payne estate, of which Smith
was an executor.
Then something happened in the Dom
aldson family. No one ever knew ex-
actly what It was or how it came about.
The public and official accounts as told
later by Evelyn and Keith did not agree
and so far as the public has ever been
able to find out, there never were any
personal, confidential accounts given,
unless to friends who really kept the
condolences.

her father and soon after left for Paris,

SKILL MUST COME
NATURAL IN BILLIARDS

Willie Hoppe. the worlds champion
billiardist. maintains that commanding
skill at billiards is a gift which can
not be acquired by the most assiduous
practice. Hoppe maintains that two
years Of playing is sufficient to dem
onstrate whether or not any ambitious
billiardist has 1t ''in him" to excel. Bill
liards simply come natural to some
persons and unless 1t does. it is useless
for any one to dream of being a cham
pion.
There are many old-time billiard
stars, who contend that Ives was the
greatest and most brilliant player the
world has produced. but hard figures
show that he was not in the same class
as Hoppe. whose averages outclass
those made by Ives in every possible
way.
A match between Hoppe and any Of
the present day players is as much a
foregone conclusion as breakfast or
daybreak. To speak more literally. the
other players have not dropped back :
rather. Hoppe has taken tremendous
strides forward and practicing the
English game as a diversion he finds
it has helped his balk-line play con-
siderably. THE accurate cueing of the
smaller balls used In English billiards
has been of help to me in more cor
rectly playing any short draws in the
balk-line game" said Willie.

FOR MOHAWK CAME

Alexandra, Va, Dec 2.-Nothing is
being left undone by the Virginia A.
c., which is scheduled to meet the
strong Mohawk eleven of Washington
here this Sunday. as every one real
ICES the strength of the Washington
opponents and are attempting to be in
the best of condition by the time of
the game. Coach Carl Mueller. of the
local team. has had his men out every
day this week, since the game has
been n certainty. and the way the
players are taking to the practice the
eleven will be in the best of shape to
face the Washington rivals.
As this will be an annual affair be-
tween the two clubs. Coach Mueller Is
anxious to get the first leg on the
championship by winning this year.
which explains the turmoil on the
clubs grounds every evening. On the
other hand reports from Washington
state that the Mchawks are undergo
ing the same course and will be able
to put ~up the greatest battle since
the organization of the club.
