She is Mrs. James Hope-Nelson,

as one of the prettiest girls in the
United States and for whose hand
many a bold youth commended only

man. Her husband has gone to the

trenches and his wife now seek

face of danger and being as close TO
his side as is permitted.

Before her husband and his regl-

him to take her with him. but he
told. of the military regulations and

home and await him. After he had
marched aboard the transport she

There in the convent she little
dreamed that an Englishman would
come as a Lochinavar and lead her
away to Europe, there, to present
her to the court OF St. James and
win general favor for her in Eng

After her graduation and her
coming out she was one OF the most
popular debutantes In Newport, New

much entertained in eastern cities
and many a wealthy youth lost his

When the reporters called at his
hotel they were not told that he was
taking his "bawth,''h as most Eng

the newspaper men telephoned
Hope-Nelson's room and told the OBJ

Come right up, fellows he said
