gossip about her. for she had shocked the nobility of all
Europe and the conservative families in America by
appearing at public gatherings in scantiy draped inter-

Castle close on and earned the snubs of the Queen
by dancing barelegged before company of dukes and
dnchesses Dunrobin Castle When the dspeasure of
the Queen expressed to her she only shrugged her
shoulders and declared that n that she would
take of some clothes the next time she danced "
Then in America, at fashionable gathering at OF
the exclusive hotels she first amazed her audience and
then aroused laugh. 1t was Mrs Cornelius Vanderbilt
who laughed and Of course, when fashionable Mrs Cor.
