last five years, while working hard to pro
vide food and clothes for Mousie, she had
hardened her heart against every man
who had ventured to WOO her. As she look.
cd about her she saw her Newport friends
marrying for love and getting the worst
Of It. lust as she herself had. She decided
that wealth alone could give something
that time did not tarnish. Her chum Cath
leen Vanderbilt might be unhappy, but she
had jewels and motors, Newport place
and all the things that meant money.
Mrs Reggie, however, took the opposite
view. "You are all wrong; nothing have
means anything compared with the love
had those few short months when Reggie
and we're first married. Although ne had
great wealth, I would never have married
him II had not loved him. When lost
his love I refused to wear his jewels and
1 spend as little as possible of his money,
for such money is hateful to me-"
The two friends had many heart-to-heart
talks on the subject, with usually Clare
knight Colford making a third. Now it had
come to pass that Mrs ColfOrd, although
marrying for love, was deeply enamored OF
the things that money could do and buy.
She advised Mrs Adams to try Tor wealth
and forget all about love.
Perhaps the young matron might have
listened to Mrs. Colford, for like all moth
ers, she wanted her small daughter TO have
all the lovely times that every fashionable
debutantelenjoys, and these come only with
money, but unluckily new sort OF sultor
appeared on the scene, man or family but
no fortune, who fell madly In love with the
lady and laughed at her dreams OF wealth.
Charles Carroll Martin belongs to the
historic Carroll family OF Carrolton,
The Washington times., 1919-09-07

Maryland. When he discovered himself 50
deeply in love like wise man he went at
once to Mrs. Reggie and bespoke her kind
offices. II so happened that this long
suffering wife had Just commissioned her
lawyer to apply for a divorce for her, and
Mr.. Martins request was rather upsetting.
Being true friend, she put her own az,
fairs aside and gave all her heart to win
ming Mrs. Adams for Charles Martin.
In the end the winning was easy, fer.
Mrs Adams had fallen head over heels in
love with the determined Mr.. Martin, and
while her brain called for wealth her heart
cried for love. She held out for six months,
however, with Mrs. COlford backing her up
and keeping always before her eyes the
joys that wealth could provide Things
came to a climax in June, and Mrs. Reggie
carried Mrs. Adams OF to Newport, where
Mr.. Martin speedily appeared, and there.
under the sunny blue skies Of that most
delightful of places, in June, Alice Adams
let her heart run away with her head
Tn engagement was announced while
she was still visiting Mrs Reggie, and az
the same time Mrs. Colford insisted that
the wedding must take place in her coun-
try home at WestpOrt, Conn. So in August,
a few days before Mrs. Reginald Wander
bilt's divorce suit was published broadcast,
she stood up with Mrs Adams and mar
ried her on to Charles Carroll Martin.
It may be permitted to wonder what
thoughts filed the matron-of-hOnor's mind
as she stood by the bride!
Love and marriage had played her a
scurVy trick-sixteen years earlier. She
has been battered and bruised and life has
been a living death, but through it all she
has clung gamely to the power Of love.
The Washington times., 1919-09-07

lasted. And It is doubtful, believes Mrs.
Reggie, that they regret having married
for love. In spite Of present unhappiness
they had known something that no money
can buy. When Mrs Reggie talks this
way she is, Of course, thinking Of her own
experience.
For the next few years, while gossip
was ever busy with the Reggie Wander
biIts' affairs, there was no open break.
During some of this time Mr.. Vanderbilt
could not enter New York State because
of a certain gambling mix-up, in which
District Attorney Jerome figured very
prominently. Mrs. Vanderbilt, however,
made many long visits to her mother and
to her mother-in-law, so that months might
pass without the young people meeting.
There were no more children in the Sandy
Point nursery.
Mrs. Reggie, for all her secret sorrow,
brought no public shame on her husband.
She made 1t a point to occupy his box at
the various horse shows, where his stable
was entered, and carefully observed the
conyenances. She had all the money she
wanted to spend, and when in residence
at the farm entertained lavishly and con.
stantly.
When baby Cathleen was five years old
her mother brought about her second love
romance. It seemed as though Mrs.
Reggie simply could not keep from being
Dan Cupids first aid. This time pretty
little Clare Knight heiress to all the
Knight millions-and they are fabulous
and big Sidney Colford, Jr, debonair and
reckless, were the lovers
Colford had not a sou marquee in all
the world. He was intensely popular and
had more friends than was good for him,
but he was really no match for the Knight
millions. The lovers were continually be-
ing thwarted by Mrs. Knight, and Glare,
who was but nineteen and very fragile,
faded almost away.
About when the unhappy girl seemed
just two big burning eyes Mrs. Reggie
took a hand. With all their millions and
a truly wonderful new house on Bellevue
avenue the Edward G. Knights never had
been, taken up by the Astors, Vanderbilts,
Goelets, ct al.

finally the lady Of Sandy Point farm had
really left her husband and set up a sep
arate establishment.
Her reasons for finally breaking away
from bondage are already ancient history.
Beginning with the gambling days Of his
youth, on down through the passing years,
this youngest son Of an honorable family
had run the gamut of human indiscretions.
His escapades are old stories to the public
that knows him, and oh, how they embit-
tered the woman who bore his name!
She has a separate maintenance allow
ance which she accepts for Cathleen's
sake. but she will take no alimony under
the divorce decree Cathleen, a tall girl
of fifteen, is amusingly like her father.
Only a month ago a matron met her and
said: "Why Cathleen you are the very
image of your father" "Yes," replied
Cathleen, "and it makes mother furious"
Mrs. Reggie has developed a rare
spiTituelle beauty that is most appeal
ing. She deVotes herself to her daugh-
ter and to furthering the happiness Of her
friends, which Is why she assumed per
sonal supervision of the tangled love af.
fair of her chum, Alice Dorothea Adams.
Ten years ago the present and future
looked exceedingly bright for the pretty
debutante daughter Of Frank Hunter Pot
ter. Thanks to her aunt, Miss Selma
Blatchford, she would have settled in
come of ten thousand dollars, and she was
therefore expected to make fairly decent
marriage. Alas, she fell in love with a
young law clerk in the office of Newport's
one fashionable lawyer.
Aunt Selma was against the match from
the beginning, but fate played into the
hands of the lovers. Aunt Selma was
taken i'll, and realizing that she could not
recover gave her consent to the mar
rage If 1t was celebrated at once. And so,
in her bedroom in her Newport cottage the
wedding took place. She died and her
niece fell heir to quite a tidy fortune.
Neither of these two young people had any
idea of the value of money, and between
them they raced through the wife's prin-
cipal until, as already stated, she had to
take a Job and finally secured a divorce.
Mrs. Adams experience embittered her
so that she vowed she would never again
marry for love, but for money. For the

HFEN years ago Alice Dorothea Potter,
Of New York, with an income free and
\ clear Of more than ten thousand dol
lars a year, married Newton Adams, young
lawyer of Newport, for love, deep undying
love. This marriage created quite SEN
sation in Newport, for Alice Potter was
4 popular debutante and the ceremony was
performed at her Aunt Selma Blatchford's
deathbed. It occurred, too, during Horse
Show week, when the town was crowded
and the colony at its gayest.
On August IA, 1919, Alice DOrothea Pot
ter Adams, with not a cent in the world,
married Charles Carroll Martin, of New
York, for love, deep, undying love, and Mrs.
Reginald Vanderbilt, bitterly disappointed
In the outcome of her own love marriage,
was the matchmaker who made this sur
prising matrimonial alliance.
Mrs. Reggie, as her friends still call her,
is a firm believer in love.
In her belief it is better not to marry
at all than to marry for anything but love.
Even if love dies after while, it is better
to have suffered from the malady for a
short time than to go through life ignor-
ing it!
Mrs. Vanderbilt did not make public the
fact that she was bringing suit for an abb
solute divorce from her own husband until
she had succeeded in providing Mrs.
Adams with second husband. She wanted
to feel that her lifelong friend was to have
another chance for happiness, for unfortu-
