Clare Sheridan is so brilliant and
so gifted a woman and excited so
much interest when she first arrived
in this country two years ago that
one cannot but regret that she should
have exhausted the welcome accord
ed TO her, and also the good will
even of those who were most enthusi-
astic about her originality and un-
conventionality. She has arrived at
the unpleasant conviction that she
has ceased to please in America that
her writings are no longer in demand
here and that her striking portraits
i'll plaster and in clay no longer at
tract attention.
Consequently she is leaving next
sday-sailing from New York
on the SaXonia for Hamburg, with
the object of getting herself and
children away from the individual
struggle" in America-a country
which she terms too prosperously
Insufficient: She proposes to take
up her residence with her youngsters
not in her own native land and in
that beautiful county of Sussex,
where her family, the Frewens, have
been established for. SO many CEN
turies. but in Berlin, so as TO be
within easy reach of trouble" when
it arises. She wants to be present
lat the rebirth of Europe" and de-
plores that America will not inter-
est itself in the travail
Yet Clare Sheridan had everything
in her favor, good looks, birth and
royal favor sufficiency of money
and an assured position in English
and foreign society. When she first
came here as a girlhood friend of the
late Crown Princess, of Sweden and
frequent guest at the court of Stock
holm, King Gustav had conferred upon
her the ladies' Order of Innocence"
In inheriting the gifts of the fami-
lies-Englsh and American-that flow
in her veins, she likewise became pos
sessed of would almost say handi-
capped by-their oddities of character.
The Frewens have always had touch
of wildness and of revolt against the
Morton Frewen, is an example there
of. and so, too, WAS his brother Dick,
who, while yachting Off the coast OF
ireland, perished in storm. Very
clever and very outspoken, he could
not govern his tongue. He could not
ance to his thoughts, no matter how
startling and unruly, and as a result,
he ended by having but few friends,
since nobody knew what he was go
ing to say next.

The American Jeromes,, to whom
Clare Sheridan belongs uorugh her
mother. are also quite the reverse
of conventional and free of speech.
In Clare Sheridan these peculiarities
were emphasized. She gave free reign
to her originality-did not shrink
from sarcasm-defiled the qu'en dira-
on, and the outcome of it all has
been that people have turned against
her, and that she leaves this coun-
try, in which she so often expressed
her wish to spend the remainder of
his life: disappointed and embittered
woman.
