another girl has done, had it not been for the unexpected sympathy and sup port she began to receive from her grandmother, Mrs. Brady, the widow of distinguished justice of New York's Supreme Court. Of all Katherine's rela- tives Mrs. Brady was the only one who thought she ought to be allowed to have her way and marry MT. Barrymore.
 In letter to the girl, which later played an important part in the family's squabble in court, Mrs. Brady wrote:
 "Dop't let your father keep you over theres Come back with your mother. You cannot be shut up. The more he is against John Barrymore the more you will like him. Do not be afraid of MT. Harris. He helped to bring you into the world. That was all.
 'If you and Jack fall out, that Is an- other thing. Aunt May and Uncle Her bert are bitterly against him, but you don't care. Come home and see him."
 Still further grandmotherly advice which Katherine read in the shade of the chestnut trees in the old convent garden was the following, written. after Mrs. Brady had seen MT. Barrymore in his new play, "The Fortune Hunter"
 Jack looks as though he wants 8 woman's care. I saw him in the street. He is so hahdsomeW
 With her grandmother to support her, the girl redoubled her pleas to be allowed to return to New York, and finally Mrs. Harris yielded. MT. Harris followed,a but too late-his daughter was already Mrs. John Barrymore.
 Everybody supposed that this brought the trouble over the romance to an end--at least until the Barrymores should have time to gee how well or how poorly their matrimonial venture succeeded. But this proved not to be the case. The trouble was really only just beginning.
 Within a short time Mrs. Harris found her alimony unpaid and she brought suit for it. MT. Harris, who had obtained possession of the letters Mrs. Brady had sent Katherine, in- troduced then in his defense of the suit. So much weight did Justice Bis choff give these bits of grandmotherly advice that he denied Mrs. Harris's mo- tion for alimony.
 This was the first of the amazing series of misfortunes that followed Katherine Harris's defiance of her fathers wishes by marrying John Barrymore.
 Misfortune number two came when

try. try again"
 The former Katherine Harris seems to have taken this time honored precept very much to heart after her first unfortunate matrimonial experi- ence with John Barrymore, and now she is reaping the rich rewards which, ac- cording to the copy-book maxims of our school days, are the inevitable result of patient perseverance and stout hearted unwillingness to be discouraged by early failures. When the divorce courts brought the former Mrs. Barrymore's first marriage to a dismal end, she did not abandon herself to Encouragement and despair and the cynical view that marriage is failure. She bravely deter mined to "try again"-to make another quest of all the love and happiness she had hoped to find in her first attempt but had cruelty missed.
 The success of her "try, try again" policy, as shown by her recent marriage to the once divorced MT. Alexander Dallas Bache Pratt, must be very grati- flying to this charming society beauty, as it certainly is to all her friends.
 By her perseverance and refusal to be discouraged she has found hus- band she is sure will make her as su- premely happy as she was miserable before. And she has also by this second marriage of hers won her way back into her family's good graces, from which she. was tumbled with such a disconcerting thump when she fell in love with Jack Barrymore.
 Probably never did the marriage of willful heiress have more serious and

tions of thousands of matinee girls and yet be unable to hold the love of his wife.
 Now, nearly four years after she ob- tained her divorce on the technical ground of desertion, the former Mrs Barrymore retrieves her earlier mis- take and regains the confidence and af- lection of the members of her family by becoming the wife of man who Is as satisfactory to them as her first hus- band was unsatisfactory to all except Grandmother Brady.
 Alexander Dallas Bache Pratt Is 8 prosperous broker. He comes of fam fly that has long been prominent in the smartest New York and Newport sets. He is eight years older than his bride and he enjoys what is getting to be'a rather unique distinction for a society man of his age-that of having been only once divorced.
 His first wife was Miss Beatrice Benjamin, daughter of William E. Benjamin and granddaughter of the late Henry H. Rogers.
 While Mr Pratt was serving as a captain in the army, Mrs. Pratt sued for divorce in Newport, charging cruelty and neglect to provide. She was granted decree and given the custody of the two children and $350 a month alimony.
 Not long afterward, Mrs. Pratt was married to Preston Gibson. Her fam fly opposed the match and reduced her income, and she sued to force them to pay her what she said was her share of a S2,000,000 legacy from her grand father, MT. Rogers. A reconciliation ended the litigation, but family repre- sentatives stated that their objections to MT. Gibson still continued.
 MT. Barrymore is also married again, his new wife being the beautiful and talented former Mrs. Leonard Thomas, who is widely known as fashionable society's poetess of passion. Under the nom de plume of Michael Strange" which she has used in several volumes of verse, she wrote "Clair de Lune," the play in which her husband and his sis- ter, Ethel Barrymore, appeared in New York last season.

Katherine's aunt, Mrs. Herbert Harri- man-the "Aunt May" of Grandma Brady's letters-withdrew the hand some income she had been paying her mother because of her displeasure at the way Mrs. Brady had aided and abetted the Barrymore match.
 The third misfortune was this same Mrs. Harriman's refusal to do "some- thing handsome" for her niece as she had promised to do in case she married 6 man of whom she approved.
 And the fourth and last of the mis- fortunes which must have made Mrs. Barrymore later regret having been so eager to follow her hearts desire came when she admitted by her suit for divorce that man may win the affec-

relations joined in the merry pastims of hurling threats of vengeance at her and at one another.
 Sidney Harris threatened to disin- herit his disobedient daughter, and her aunt, the rich Mrs. Herbert Hartman, vowed she would stop her niece's al lowance and everything! It was fam fly war to the death while 1t lasted.
 All was oh, so different at the latest wedding. The doves of peace cooed un- ceasingly and the lions and lambs of the Harris family and it's numerous branches sat down together with great outward show of amity.
 The divorced MT. and Mrs. Sidney Harris were there, beaming their entire approval on their daughter if not on one another. And Mrs. Herbert Harri- man, instead of brandishing the club ot financial excommunication ns she had done few years ago, was pleased to run down from Newport on purpose to grace the wedding party.
 Perhaps the most significant of the wedding guests was Mrs. Russell c. Colt, Ethel Barrymore, sister of the brides divorced husband. The famous actress had helped make the match be- tween Miss Harris and her beloved "baby brother Jack, having chaperoned the girl and entertained the lovers on numerous occasions when they man. aged to meet in spite of Papa Harris's stern opposition.
 When disaster overlook the romance in whose making she had had such an important hand, Ethel Barrymore pre- served a strict neutrality, keeping on the best of terms with "baby brother Jack" as well as with the young woman who was/leaving him forever. She took pains never publicly to defend or at- tack either of the divorced ones. So kindly were her feelings toward her brothers former wife that only recently . she gave her an important role in the successful<play, "Declassee," in which Miss Barrymore was starring.
 As Ethel Barrymore herself might re- mark, That's all there is; there isn't any more" to say about the former Mrs. Barrymore's interesting "try, try again" romance, unless-l But it seems quite unbelievable that love match which everybody halls with such sincere delight and into which the young divorcee has gone with such careful pains to avoid the unhappiness she en- countered before, should turn out any thing except most happy.
