The marriage, which took place in Englond, in the Churgh of St. Mary.

She ok Sepe before a year over to dissolution in England, and resumed landes. Having a large fortune in her own right, 'she became a notable figure in Paris, her pompadous house in the Rue Christophe Coloribe, achieving renown as a literary center. She won fame both #s an author and 4s an artist, under the peculiar name of "Ossit," and among her most fervent admirers was the Iate Sir Edward Rurns-Jones, royal acadamician, who paiutefl an exquisite picture of her, as ond of {he muses, holding in her 'had "a globe of pipe crystal. Prince. Robert. then, became infatu- ated with an American woman, of the name of Estelle Alexander, the divorced wife of Sidney B. Veit, and marriad fer in Chicago. This union was anndlled on the demand of the prince's parents six months later, by the French courts, whereupon. the prince re-married ¥Estelie Alexander, the legitimacy of the little girl, born of the union, such as it was, remain- ing in doubt. The prince's parents having cut off supplies, he suffered all sorts of hardships in the United 'States. His wife endeavored to earn her living ir variety shows in New York, on the Bowery, and elsewhere on the East Side, by her singing, the prince heing starred to conduct the>orchestrs, al though he knew comparatively little about music. Then they became de- pendent upon 'charity, and after ail sorts of exiraordinary experiences re- turned to Liurope, where they parted ccmpany, the French courts pro- ncyncing a final divorce in 1909. Since then the woman, who as a divorcee is not pérmitted any longer to scall "hei#élf Princess de Broglie in France, has been earning her liv- ing on the variéty stage on both sides of the Atlantic, occasion#lly coming into prominence through the pro- tracted litigation which has been tak- herself and the which involved him in all sorts ofl prince regarding the . possession of amusing contretemps.

Whether the Duc de Broglie cast his vote in a fit of absence of mind, or intentionally, has never been made clear.

When Lord Densham suggested to Sibyl Castlemaine that they should sit the dance out in the conservatory she saw that he meant to propose to her. 'It is rather serious to be standing on the edge of a new year," he said "Dear Miss Castlemaine, I want to be a better man in the future than in the past, and you, only you, can help me. What is needed to make my happiness complete, to crown all my hopes and perfect my manhood, is a woman's love. Sibyl---let me call you Sibyl, my love--will you be the woman? Will you marry me?" "1 am very sorry you should have asked me this, Lord Densham," said Sibyl gravely. "I am. conscious of the vastness of the compliment, and I am pot blind to the advantages of your, p, but I do not love you." 4 on"t ove me?" repeated his lordship a tone of disappointment, that had a suspicion of incredulity in it.

Will you please fake me back? 1 am engaged for the next dance," As they entered the hallroom' they almost ran into Cecil Briarley. He was about to walk past them when Sibyl said: *Oh, Cecil, here you are! just in time." They were about to join the danc- ers when it was announced that the 'ti ysterions jnidnight moment had ar- rived, and those who cared to do so were to go to the open 'windows and an to the doorsteps and balconies to fisten "amd wait for the solemn peal that was to mark the anmual recom- entement. Briarley got a wrap to row over his cousin's shoulders, and then they went to the farther corner of the long balcony. "Are you thinking of the new year?" asked Ceeil. "No; I was thinking of Tantalus." "I hope you pity him." "I don't think I do,"~responded his cousin softly, feelihg that that the agows hid her blushing cheek. Perhaps his prize was net so far [out of his reach as he imagined." "Sibyl, dn't Denshaiin ask you You're _janything?" he whispered. "Yes, Cecil, and--and I pertormied a modern mifacle."
