He's gone through two fortunes already, and when It comes to making the-'-money.- fly he makes Castellane look like a miser. "It is a fact that they are seen much in each other's company, and you can tell what a fascinating and viva cious young woman may do until It happens. They may marry, but I doubt it. At all events her decree for bids her marrying within six months after the decree is filed, which has just been done, I believe.

She is now a beautiful and accomplished woman of the world, at home In any circle of the highest European society. Hut she is very unhappy.
