his estate is a hundred and odd miles
outside of there in quite beautiful, but
extremely native and typical surround
ings. There he lives during the rainy
season because it is high up.
Mr.. Keith was in Paris on business
when he first saw Miss Litsinger, and
right away he knew that he had met his
fate. He u.s. as matter or fact, native
OF San Francisco, but he seldom gets
there.
1t has been told how Mr.. Keith pro.
posed in Paris and how he proposed In
Chicago. From Bombay to Paris to Chi
cago is half way around the world once,
and Mr.. Keith, drawn by love. had made
this journey. And then when Miss Vir-
ginia went to London Mr.. Keith had not
expected her to be there at all. He was
thinking Of going over TO America. But
he went to the Adelphi, and who should
be there but Miss Virginia. When she
right into him. Then Mr.. Keith sadly
went away to the Orient for another
eight months, and it really did look as
If Daisy's rejection might prove fatal.
But 1t did not work out that way.
When Ziegfeld's Follies opened this
season Miss Litsinger and her friend Mae,
again had parts in it. A month or so ago.
after a matinee, the girls went shopping
and stopped into the Hotter Astor on their
way back to hteir own hotel. AS the
revolving door conducted Miss Litsinger
into the lobby 1t bumped her right into
q heavy man who was standing much
too close to the door.
"Why, Daisy" he exaimed-Mr. Keith,
It was-"I've come all the way from Bonn
bay to get you, and l only got 10 town
to-day, and here you are humping right
into me! If this isn't destiny don't
know what 1t Isl"
There was no stemming the tide this
time. AS has been said, Mr.. Keith, Of
the Orient, was in New York for one pur-
pose only, and a successful merchant,
like Mr.. Keith. who travels $4,000 miles
for set purpose, Drawing torpedoes and
submarines and everything else, doesn't
usually go back till he accomplishes 1t.
On q Thursday night she sang In the
chorus for the last time and the very
next morning she was married!

In Chicago year later. In parenthesis,
Mr.. Keith had jumped all the way from
Bombay to Chicago after his rejection in
Paris because he just couldn't get over
the idea of having Daisy Virginia for his
wife.

But month ago after the Follies had
opened its season Daisy Virginia met
Mr.. Keith again. He had come all the
way from Bombay after her.
YES said she.
weeks ago little Daisy Virginia was doing
her little stunt day after day and work

now she is the happy little wife of that
tremendously wealthy merchant and is
on vessel in the Pacific Ocean bound
for Japan, and, goodness only knows
where else, and finally for India And
she is going TO make her home there in
the Orient for good! And she is going
to have coolies and all that sort Of thing
to wait on her. and she doesn't mind the
cobras or anything else. And If that
isn't a romance. what Is?
Let us go little more into the detail
Of the romance. Daisy Virginias full
name is Daisy Virginia Litsinger, but the
first two-thirds sounded so much better
on the stage. She is Philadelphia girl,
just twenty-five years old.
Mr.. Keith is busily engaged in native
industries and the export business. His
dealings take him far into the interior Of
India and to Siberia, Japan, China and
the islands of the Indian Ocean. Al.

then the couple started on as promising
honeymoon as was ever mapped out.
BY way Of Canada they were to 60 to the
Exposition and then ship for the Far
East where three months hence they are
to settle In the bungalow, which is really
quite palace. -
"Its just too wonderful for anything"
Miss Hennessy declared, when she told
the story after the brides departure.
mr.. Keith is immensely wealthy, you
konw, and he g told us all about life In
India.
Daisy is certainly lucky girl When
we were in London last year Mr.. Keith
showed himself to be just about the finest

long and made him travel fifteen million
or is it thousand ?-miles to get her.
"He took us to his place in Surrey,
and everything was Just as nice as it
could be. He had big French touring
car and he took US for the loveliest
drives through the English country
places, and out In India, he told us, every
thing Is so different. He showed US q
picture Of the kind Of taxi they have at
his place. Wait, I'll show 1t to you.
(Note.-The taxi mentioned can be seen
ut lower lefthand corner.) Isn't 1t q
scream! But 1t was tndiscreet for him
to show It, because I think It sort OF
turned Daisy against him for the time
And know she did love him. Oh, yes,
OH goodness, yes!
"Of course, Daisy will miss Broadway
at first. l suppose. but Mr.. Keith told US
that there are lots Of things out there
which are just as exciting-deodars and
scimetars and queer people like that
"Mr. Keith was always talking about
the Indian fakirs OF course, we have
'em here, too. but they are different.
The Indian fakirs are just vaudeville per-
formers. They do lot OF stunts with
snakes and conjuring tricks and all that,
and they will kind Of remind Daisy of
Hammerstein's and the Palace when she
gets lonely.
They haven't any domestic problem
