Talk of American Peeress
Succeeding Lady Aberdeen
HAS HAPPENED ONCE
Wife of Lord Wellesley Was Daughter
of Charles Carroll of Maryland.
Woman Neglects Home to Do
Man's Work Outside
By THOMAS KAIMETT
Dublin. January 0£.—(Special.)—The
revival of talk that one of our Amer
ican peeresses is likely to be chosen to
succeed Lady Aberdeen at the Vicere
gal Lodge—the choice of her husband
as viceroy being largely due to a popu
lar desire to have Lady Deeies as the
nation's hostess—recalls the fact that
only once before has an American belle
reigned 111 Dublin castle. This dis
tinguished A'icerlne was Marianne. Mar
chioness of Wellesley, a lady who com
bined great beauty with the wit always
associated with American women. Her
mother was *one of the six (laughters
of Charles Carroll, the famous senator
of Maryland, who was last to sign the
Declaration of American Independence,
and her father was a young Englishman,
Jlichard Caton, afterwards of Balti
more.
One of the Caton family (Emily) has
descendants living to this day in Amer
ica, who possess the Peeress's robes,
worn by the Vicerlne, and the coronet
cl' a Marchionesa, which was her prop
erty too. When Lord Wellesley mar
ried his bride was a widow, a Mrs. Pat
terson. A visit to Ireland was made
when Mrs. Patterson and her sisters
put up at a hotel in Saekville street,
and very soon to be correct, on Octo
ber 29. 1825—the Lord Lieutenant and
Mrs. Patterson were married quietly
at tin; Viceregal Lodge. The Castle
Season then extended from' Christmas
to April, and Lord Wellesley, who had
broken all records as Governor-Gener
al of India, maintained the dignity of
his Sovereign in a fitting planner. This
marriage proved to be an ideal one,
In spite of the disparity in age: for
when the Viceroy died in 1842 (aged
83) his wife was then only 45. Ire
land’s American queen died at Hamp
ton Court palace in 1853.
Does Man’s Work
Humorists who delight in depicting a
topsy-turvy world, with the man at i
home performing the, household duties
while the wife directs operations on the
stock exchange, have not overdrawn
their pictures very much. This was
shown when the magistrates had an
anxious young man before them, who
wanted to know what he could do with
his wife. He said that site had neg
lected the house and the baby, and in
sisted upon going out to work. He
was in good employment, hut every now
and again had to ret a day off to clean
the house, hathe the baby and wash Ills
clothes. He had only been married
two years, but his wife refused to do I
any housework, and left it all to him.
! The magistrates told him that he had |
better take his complaint to the home
rule government when it assumes of
fice.
Asks for Protection
Tn the Belfast police court a few days
ago a man made a second application
for a warrant against his wife, the first
having been deferred on the advice of
the magistrate to “make it up and start
the new year well.” “M.v wife,” said
applicant, “or my master, as you will,
has been at me again. M.v son said he
would kick my ribs in if i did not pay |
the rent, and site, my spouse, said
‘that's right, give him a kick ’ ” Mag
istrate—We have heard all this before.
Applicant—Yes, 1 know; but as the poet
says
Bathe.my feet in boiling lead,
Or place me on a'rack,
But save my life while i am here
From yonder woman's clack.
The man added that he knew that the
magistrate did not like signing the
warrant, and as h » was in bodily fear
he had left the house. But liow wras
he to live until he received his pension?
He desired "an honourable obligation
for a few’ shillings. His Worship
granted the loan, and he has the prom
ise of the hen-pecked husband that if
his wife lets him live, some day he’ll
cornc back and repay it.
A Tip for the Barbers
From the Boston Globe.
John Barrymore, the comedian, was
once seated in a New York barber shop,
when the barber, who was noted for bis
selling propensity, said:
“I see that yo^r hair is getting pretty
thin. Can't I sell you some of our new
hair tonic?"
"Oli, no.” answered Mr. Barrymore.
“If I wanted my hair to grow £ would
use a steel.”
"A steel! How can steol make hair
grow?” asked the astonished barber.
"Well, it’s like this." answered Mr.
Barrymore. "Have you a watch?”
"Yes," replied the barber.
"Well, then." answered Mr. Barrymore,
"doesn’t steel make the hair spring?"

AMERICAN HEIRESS WHO LEFT

“The Saul of D*Auutinxio''—Portrait which baa created

r — tmi* ■ w . —
Mr*. Homaiue Brook*, American beiroaa who made great
eat aacrifieea for her art
Paris. January 25.—(Special.)—Born
to great wealth ami reared in luxury,
yet deserting all at the call of art and,
defying a stern, unbending parent, liv
ing in actual poverty in a Roman gar
ret—such is the sensation of the mo
ment in the Paris art world. Her paint
ing of D’Annunzio, not of his face and
outward form, hut a veritable render
ing of the Italian author’s soul, has
placed her at one bound in the very
forefront of modern artists.
Mrs. Brooks’ father was a members
of the famous and fabulously wealthy
Goddard family of Providence. Her
mother had an insatiable passion for
foreign travel and the future artist was
born in Rome. Indeed, most of her
life has been spent on this side of the
Atlantic.
About Mrs. Brooks* mansion on the
Avenue du Troeadero there is no evi
dence of the long period of poverty
which marked the student days of its
owner. For the unyielding mother has
passed away and the daughter has
come into the fortune of which the
parent deprived her during her life
time.
The heroine of this romance of art
showed no unwillingness to tell the
story in liei own words when the writer
called upon her today.
’•As a child 1 soon wearied of the
continual pulling tip of the ‘tent sticks’
and moving from one fashionable re
sort to another," :«ho said. "The life «»f1
a society girl did not Interest me; I
wanted only the opportunity to draw.
My mother humored, as she thought, a
passing whim and provided me with
professors, but constant change of resi
dence was fatal to progress. Then came
the revolt. A change of seasons
brought the inevitable travel. 1 urged
my mother to allow me to remain in
Paris with my companion and so per
sistent were my supplications that I
finally gained her consent. A plan of
action, long dormant In my brain, only
awaited the right moment to bring it
j to a crisis. The time had now arrived.
"After my mother's departure I
counted my money and found I had
about $500. That .at least would get me
to Italy. In a badly concealed state of
excitement 1 nervously packed a small
trunk with the plainest things 1 had.
Flaborate gowns were indisputably out
of place in the new position I was about
to enter. Further equipped wnn a
handbag, r stole from the house. 1 was
hilarious at the very danger of the
adventurl, for at that age —I was still
In my teens—I felt to travel alone- was
r most perilous undertaking. After
buying my ticket a slight spasm of
fright chiiled my daring but I would
not turn hack. T timidly walked along
the station platform and peered In the
windows of the different compartments,
searching for an elderly woman for
protection. When 1 saw one 1 got in be
side her and unknown to her appro
priated her as my companion. I entered
into conversation with her quite natur
ally and learned tint she. too. was go
ing to Rome. 1 followed her to the
modest little hot. 1 that she had se
lected. in the bustling rush from the
train, however. 1 had picked up some
one else's handbag,, a discovery made
on seeing the eon onts in my room. As
a further annoyance, my trunk could
not be found. After much parley and
kingly tips that l felt T could at this
juncture ill afford, the troublesome
baggage was traced and the handbag
restored to the rightful owner.
"The next day I wrote my mother in
detail my plans and ambitions in a field
I had to work if happiness were to be pv
life’s portion. With the fleetness of all
bad news I quickly received a reply of
indignation and reproach. There was r.o
•bless you. my child, all is forgiven;’ on
the contrary. I was coldly and firmly told
that if T did not abandon this maniacal
idea my financial supplies would he cut
off and T would have only my pin money
for support. My mother had not a doubt
that this thunderbolt would forever crush
all thought of becoming an artist. 'It
was a blinding stroke for a moment, but
only for a moment. I rented a cheap lit
tle studio in the famous street where so
many artists live, the Via Margiitta. and
with the aid of a chafing dish and tiny oil
stove managed to cook many an appetiz
ing plate that my slim purse would not
permit at a good restaurant. I was ad
mitted to the free drawing schools and
devoted my first months to a diligent
study of the nude. I then came to l aris
tor a further course of study. Here
again. 1 was obliged to rent an inexpen
sive studio in tlie Latin Quarter. I con
fided in no one; hence, none of my friends
dreamed of my former state of comfort
and ease. My mother never forgave me,
although 1 was told my home was al
ways open to me when I had made up my
mind to leave this freakish mode of
life. That day never arrived. Not until
the death of my mother, when I came
into my share of the estates, was I able
to live other than as a poor student in
the quarter.”
Mrs. Brooks is still a young woman,
possibly under the thirties. Of an ex
quisitely picturesque type, she reminds
one of a beautiful ofd-fashioned picture.
Her gowns, like her home, all have the
individual touch. The soft velvet car
pets or stairs and hall are plain light gray
with accents of black, the dnly spots of
color being in the old masters’ paintings
oi. the wall and that of her own work.
The house is a perfect storehouse of
rare old furniture that she has un
earthed from the out of the way anti
quary shops* Perhaps the most in
teresting feature of the house is the
“haunted garden” at the top of the
building. The whole front overlooking
the city and ihe winding Seine is of >i
heavy plate glass. At the back of the
garden Is a mural decoration represent
ing a balcony with people about to
Jrfep into the garden through a pergola
made of filmy floating hangings in
black, black supports and a balustrade
of heavy twisted white glass which
gives a mysterious effect and keeps lip
the illusion of spirits and sprites. On
each side is another mural decoration
by this gifted artist. One is called “The
Shadow of Summer,” and the other
“The Death of Summer.” Both decora
tons are symbolically expressed by the
figure of a young woman in which''black
drapery plays a conspicuous part.
Mrs. Brooks devotes the morning to
work in her studio adjoining the
“haunted garden.” The D’Annunzio por
trait, although it has served to make
her famous, is not her first success.
Her painting of Princess Murat is a
vital piece of work and is the one most
prized by this society woman notwith
standing she has two portraits of her
self painted by Blanche, one by J^aszlo
and another by Boldini. Princess Mu
rat gave it to her mother, the Duchess
de Rohan, and it has the honor of be
ing the only modern painting hanging in
that famous society leader’s salon.
Her Destination
From the Delineator.
A large, determined looking Irish wom
an, undeniably from the .country, entered
the elevator in a well known New York
dry goods establishment.
Rhe was carried up and dow’n the eleva
tor several trips, but showed do disposi
tion to pet out at any department.
Finally the man in charge ventured to
address her:
“Where do you wish to go, madam?”
“Lave me as near Madison Square Gar
den as ye can,” came the unexpected re
sponse.

FIGHT FOR PIGS’ FOOD
Was Superior to That Furnished Men.
Attendants Make Regular Busi
ness of Selling Food to the
Half Starved Inmates
—
Dublin, January 25.— (Special.)—Evi
dently It was just as well for the prod
igal son that he li\cd In Bible times
instead of in Ireland today, else he
might have fared considerably worse
than he did. According to the parable,
the hardest luck that befell him was
having to share the food of pigs, but
if he had gone broke in the Emerald
Isle in the present year of grace anti
been forced to enter a workhouse, he
might have found himself even worse
fed than the inhabitants of the nearest
pigsty.
This is not an exaggeration. At an
inquiry by the* local government board
into the management of the South
Dublin workhouse, which has juet been
held there, inmates of the institution
stated on their oath that they and
others had regularly stolen milk and
other food that nad been supplied for
the piggery run in connection with the
"house” because ;.ne food provided for
tlie human beings there was so in
finitely inferior to the pigs' fare. There
was a loud outcry in Great Britain
some time back over the alleged "pam
| pering" of paupers, but if many other
of these houses of refuge for human
wreckage are run cn the lines of the
South Dublin one. it is high time that
a little real pampering was done. for.
compared with them, the workhouse In
which Oliver Twist vainly asked for
"more,” was an earthly paradise.
The most astonishing evidence given
before the local government board In
vestigators came from a denizen of the
workhouse in South Dublin named Jo
seph O’Brien, a bit of a wag whose
naive observations frequently made the
court rock with laughter—particularly
when he read extracts from copious
diary which he has kept since the be
ginning of his Incarceration In the
"house'’—but whose statements as to
the vileness and scantiness of the food
which was supplied to him and h1<
| fellow unfortunates were indorsed In
I detail by one witness after another.
O’Brien declared that the milk given
to the workhouse inmates was "bad
and sour,” while that supplied to the
I workhouse pigs was fresh and sweet.
On August 10. last, he said, some cans
full of milk were brought to the pig
gery and several inmates fought to get
the lacteal fluid that was being given
j to the pigs.
i This was a fairlv frequent occurrence
I Some of the men in the piggery, O’Brien
said, would Invite the Inmates into it,
but when the man in charge came he
wcuid hunt them t/vay. “Then he would
fill his own jug and carry it into his
cwr. caboose,” added tlie witness.
"When barrels of soup were taken to
tlu piggery." sail O'Brien, “inmates
fought for the ih«at in it." Their own
soup, he said, evidently was made from
teas—but not many—the potatoes put be
foie them were rotten, their tea was the
meanest travesty cf the cup that cheers,
and the bread was “wretched half-baked
stuff."
“1 often have stood in the fields in the
n ornlng and afternoon throwing bread to
the birds because l could not eat it,"
sr.id O'Brien. "I was hungry when I
die it. The Uriah stew we get is so thin
you could spirt it through a syringe.
Tiiere are no potatoes in the potato soup.
8»i0 you couldn’t tell the meat gravy from
candle-grease. Every time I complained,’’
at ded O'Brien, pathetically. "1 got castor
oil. and T hadn’t a taste for it."
Another witness named Monro, and one
nfmed Dee testified that, on account of
the badness of the workhouse fare, in
mates who had a few cents spent-them
in buying food from the attendants, who
made a regular ousiness of supplying it.
ive repasts mus purcnasuoie were Known
as “home rulers,’ and plain “dinners."
There were tw’o classes of “home rulers"
—those sold at 1 cent, consisting of re
heated tea from breakfast and those at
2 t ents, consisting of tea freshly brewred.
The dinners Which cost 2 cents, included
a half-pound of meat and a basin of milk.
The inmates always licked their plates
clean.
John Dee, who has spent six months 1n
the South Dublin w'orkhouse, also told
about going to the piggery to try to
get some of t'he figs’ milk. Asked if
the man in charge always treated the in
mates kindly, the witness replied:
“Faith, he didn’t. If he saw us he
might lay siege to us with a pitchfork
and consign us to some hot place."
Dee added that n state of indescribable
filth prevailed at the workhouse, and that
he personally had not had a bath in all
the six months He had been in the In
stitution. After hearing these and other
witnesses, all of whose evidence was to
the same effect, Hie inquiry was ad
journed and up to the time of. writing it
has not been announced whai steps. If
any, the local government board will take,

To Restore Lustre
to Dull, Stringy Hair
“It requires no great effort to have
long, soft, glossy hair," says Mrs. Mae
Martyn in the Spokane Tribune. “The
only requirement, is that It be washed
occasionally with a harmless mixture.
This will give the hair a chance to
help Itself, and when this Is don*
bright, fluffy hair follows.
"Nothing can equal plain canthrox,
a teaspoonful of which dissolved in a
cup of hot water Is enough for a good
shampoo. This should be poured
slowly on the head and rubbed briskly.
The rich, creamy lather created
cleanses and Invigorates the scalp and
hair roots, and rinsing leaves the hair
sweet, clean and fluffy. After a can
throx shampoo the hair dries quickly
and evenly and If these shampoos are
employed when required, the hair will
come in long and thick."
