it was considered a come down" when
Lord Sholto Douglas married concert-hall
singer, but, really, it was very good
thing for him. He was very glad to par
take of the hash, coffee and apple pie
which her washerwoman mother offered
him in the intervals of washing. He adj
mitted that he was doing well when he
earned as much as 50 day. The Doug
Eases have fallen greatly since the days of
"The Black Douglas" and cher heroes of
medieval Scottish history.
Lord Douglas had amazing adventures
out West. Once he was arrested and put
in Jail by mistake for another man who
had been impersonating him. He came
home and found friend, Captain Row.
land, of the British army, enjoying
merry conversation with Lady Sholto over
a bottle of Scotch Lord Sholto objected
to the merriment and shot Rowland rather
seriously.
Then Lord Sholto began to appreciate
his wife again and finally took her back
to England, so that they could enjoy
the society to which their rank entitled
them. But she was not happy for long.
Lord Sholto was usually away from home
enjoying MS rank elsewhere. one was
compelled to find employment on the Eng
lish music hall stage i'll order to support
herself.
Then she ran away with an English
artist named Thomas Palmer, and Lord
Sholto Douglas obtained divorce.
Free once more, Lord Sholto looked
about him for wealthy wife who would
support him in the luxury he desired. Kind
fate threw the enormously rich and trust
ing Mrs. Mosselmans in his path. He be-
gan to weave his spells around her. He
talked to her of the chivalrouS and knight
ly exploits of his Scottish ancestors. He
spoke of his tremendous adventures in the
American Wild West.
Mrs. Mosselmans could not resist such
wooing. She fell into his arms with all
her diamonds and pearls.
Within year of his divorce Lord
Sholto was married. They went to live

at was a bogus priest who performed the
ceremony and you will find no record of
what you thought was marriage"
After considerable litigation it appears
probable that the Prince is right in his
cynical contention that his wife has no
rights over him and cannot even claim the
property she entrusted to him. Even if
the priest had been genuine the marriage
would not have been valid The country
where they were married requires GER
tain civil ceremony, and this was not per-
formed

Douglas. 81 realize that have been

married to him now. | do not want to
hold a man who wants to get away from
me, but ] do want to recover my money
from him, so that he may not use it to
deceive more trusting women and concoct
more wicked schemes"
The Prince has the cynicism to main
tain. through his lawyers, that the house
and money were simple gifts to him from
a woman who had no legal claims on him.
The abandoned wife declares that the
Prince wants to get rid of her in order
that he may marry the widow of an Ameri-
can millionaire. The widows husband be-
longs to what is perhaps the most famous
of New York Knickerbocker families, and
she is very rich. Is it conceivable that this
American woman will entrust her happi-
ness to the Turkish Prince after the accu-
sations made against him?
One case after another has proved the
dangerous fascination which Orientals
possess for Western women, in spite of
the tragic consequences that have followed
the majority of such unions.
The Dutch heiress's marriage with Lord
Sholto Douglas was an affair that ought
to have made any woman prudent. In his
early youth Lord Sholto was driven to
America by lack of money and various
misfortunes that had happened in his fam
lily, including the distressing exposure of
his brother, Lord Alfred Douglas.
After trying ranching, mining, sales
manship and other callings with little sue
cess, he married Loretta Adds Mooney, a

mllionaires and beautiful houses in the
world. 1t was an amazing change for
Lord Sholto after his experiences on 50
a day and living on the earnings of a
music-hall wife to occupy such palace
In addition, his wife gave him a very lib
eral allowance.
But all the wealth and Injuries lavished
on Lord Sholto could not keep him long
at home. He had many affairs that kept
him out at night. He was constantly ask
ing his wife for more money to pay for
these excursions They had many quarrels
about money matters. At last she refused
to pay the debts which he had contracted
after promising to stay within the allow
ance she gave him.
Highly indignant at his wife's refusal
to pay all his debts for amusements in
which she had no share and which presum-
ably included entertaining various orna-
ments of the stage, Lord Sholto left his
wife and her Park Lane mansion. She
then began a suit for a court order to
compel him to return home, the customary
preliminary to divorce.
After Few months LORD SnoltO began
to long for the Park Lane mansion, the
meals prepared by competent chef and
th~ regular income He sought a recon-
citation with his wife. She softly agreed
to forgive him and withdraw her suit and
he returned to her home. The whole re-
markable story has been told in court.
In a short time another quarrel about
money matters broke out. Lord Sholto
wanted more money from his wife and
resented what he called cher abominahle
intrusion into his private affairs" He
left her again, and this time actually sent
her bill for payment from the Strand
Palace Hotel, showing that he had livef
there for a week with a woman whom h
had the audacity to register as "Ladg
Sholto Douglas"
Now she has suffered an even more
cruel deception at the hands of the Turk
ish Prince. Has the beautiful rich but
trustful heiress learned anything at last
or will she marry again and repeat her
bad luck?

LONDON, Dec. 16.


daughter and heiress of a great
Dutch millionaire, has perhaps had
the unhappest experience of matrimony
that has ever fallen to the lot of trust
ing woman. The astonishing fact about
this charming woman's marital career is
tina. she seemed to have profited nothing
from experience, and each husband she
has selected has proved progressively
worse than the one she had before.
Attention has been wildly called to her
cruel experiences by the suit she is bring
ing against her third Husband" Prince
Burhan-ed-Dn, son of the Sultan of Tur-
key for the return of her house, money
and jewels.
According to her charges, the Prince.
having obtained mansion in Vienna from
his wife, large part of her fortune and
Jewels, divorced her on his own authority
and, when she protested, callously in
formed her that they had been married
by bogus priest and that the ceremony
had no validity.
Lady Sholto Douglas was originally
Miss Georgine Mosselmans, daughter of
F. H. R, Mosselmans, diamond merchant
of Amsterdam, holland. "The Mossel-
mans pearls" necklace worn in the
family, are celebrated in Europe. She is
a handsome and attractive woman.
AS young heiress she married George
Barnard, Hollander, living in England
Her marriage was very unhappy, and she
obtained divorce from him, but her sor-
rows in her first marriage sink into in
significance compared with those of her
later ones.
After her divorce she was known as
Mrs Mosselmans, and became a promi-
nent figure in the gay society of London
and Paris, an ornament of the Ritz ana
the opera Then she succumbed to the
wooing of Lord Sholto Douglas, the err
ratio descendant of the oldest family in
Scotland. He was son of the Marquis
of Queensberry, who composed "the prize
ring rules; an uncle of the present Mar
quis, and brother of the rather notorious
Lord Alfred Douglas. He had married
an American concert-hall girl out West,
and divorced her for running away with
an artist, shot British officer and had
done other interesting things.
Lord Sholto Immediately began to play
ducks and brakes with his new wife's
fortune. Although she furnished him
with house in Mayfair, the quarter of
London where only millionaires can live, he
went to hotel with another woman he
brazenly registered as LADY Sholto Doug
las"
When he had wasted his wife's money,
deceived her many times and deserted her,
she obtained divorce. Then she was
ready for the worst marriage of all.
Il is difficult to measure and under
stand the capacity of woman like Lady
Douglas for trusting in men and being
deceived. One would expect her TO grow
more cautious with bitter experience, but
instead of this she grows more trusting.
It is said that she inherited $1,000, 900
from her father and SIS 100000 from
an aunt. 1t would not surprise her ac-
quaintances to hear at any time that she

many, with great pomp. The ceremony
was performed by functionary in tur
ban and long, green robes, who was sup
posed to be a Mohammedan priest or
"imaum" of high rank. He pronounced
them man and wife, and called the curse
of Allah upon the wife if she should ever
prove disobedent. The ushers were
number of gay aristocrats of Vienna So
ciety, including Prince Franz Johann
Liechtenstein, Count Karl Romer, the Pc
lish Ambassador, and four others. There
was no civil ceremony
Immediately after the marriage the
Princess handed over 100000 francs to
the Prince and paid his tailor's bill.
He persuaded her to purchase one of
the finest palaces of the old nobility in
Vienna and put it in his name. He ex-
planned that this palace was necessary to
maintain his imperial rank.
From the very beginning the Prince
neglected his wife and spent his days and
nights with his dissipated companions.
After three months of life in Vienna the
Princess was obliged to go to London to
settle some business affairs. While she
was away, she says she received letter
from the Prince declaring that he was
tired of her and hoped she would noe come
back.
The Princess returned to Vienna and
found herself shut out of the palace for
which she had paid Finally she secured an
interview with her supposed husband and
demanded an explanation of his conduct.
Under the Turkish law it is the hus-
bands right to discard his wife at his
pleasure, and | now exercise that right.
Consider yourself divorcedp' h said.
But you forget, we were not married
in Turkey-it was legally solemnized by

replied.
