CORBETT’S HANDSOME WIFE.

Was Once a Reigning Beauty in San Francisco’s Bohemia. Mrs. James J. Corbett, wife of the champion pugilist, whom she sued for a divorce, was one# the beauty of Santa Cruz, her nearest rival in that regard being her sister Georgia. Georgia and Ollie Lake remained iu that city until they exhausted all its possibilities of conquest. Tbeu they went to San Francisco. The beauty of the sisters created no less a sensation In San Francisco than

It had In Santa Cruz. Among their admirers were actors, artists, writers and men about town. They were the favorites of the Bohemian world, and their rooms were filled with a gay throng every night in the week. One evening Billy Brady brought thither as a guest Julian Mitchell, the juvenile actor of Hoyt’s “Bunch of Keys” company. Mitchell repaid Brady’s kindness by falling in love with the latter’s sweetheart and winning her. Georgia became Mrs. Julian Mitchell. A bank clerk, who added SIOO a month to his income by teaching boxing at the Olympic Chib, was often among the crowd that' thronged the home of the bachelor girls. His name was James J. Corbett. Ollie cast aside a dozen men with large bank rolls and married him.
