Meteoric Marie Halton.

The career of Miss Marie Hallton tin London was th it,of a brilliant meteor. She flashed upon the half-world with every accessory of somebody's spoiled darling. Her private hansom “stopped the way” outside the Criterion and the Case Royale, and her well-groomed poniee excited envious curiosity in the park. One or the other of the theaters saw her nightly in a box flashing with diamonds and surrounded by men. Then one morning she disappeared. Next she was heard of queening it like one of Ouida’s heroines in “Moths,” and winning fabulous eums at roulette, and then—tears and lamentations —and the cable announced her return to New York.— Philadelphia Times.

The royal family of Wied, a Rheinish province, has had recent attention attracted to itself by the elopement of the Prince of Wied's eldest son, a youth of IS, with a rich Hamburg widow. The statement that the family is in poverty is not true. The Prince is one of the wealthiest in Germany, and his vrife, Princess Marie of the Netherlands, sister of the late Queen of Sweden, inherited an immense fortune from her father. The royal family of Wied counts its fortune by the millions.
