Mary Ann Smythe Weld Fitzherbert Hanover, a Vampire and a Sport.

BY ANNE JORDAN Illustrations by William Stevens Protected by George Matthew Adams

Mary Anne Smythe was descended from a family short on names but long on lineage. Mary Anne's father was Sir John Smythe of Acton Bnrnell Park. The girl was hardly out of the crib before they shrunk her name to fit the rest of the family. They called her Maria. Maria, having Roman Catholic parents, was educated in a French convent. As soon as she got out she turned into a marrying trick. She practiced on Edward Weld. Maria was 19 when she married him, and a widow at 20. "Poor Mr. Weld," meowed Maria, as Bhe peeped through the widow's weeds. "He was such a good man. He always wound the cat and put out the alarm clock every night. I'll never And another like him!" Mr. Weld was hardly tucked away comfortably in his wooden negligee when Thomas Fitzherbert tapped at the widow's door. "Thomas, chortled Maria, " you do bo remind me of my lamented husband. He was such a good man, too!" Fitzherbert blushed, and soon he was treading to that Meddle-some bridal tune with Maria hanging on his arm. Thomas didn't last much longer than his predecessor. There was

Suicide Versus Orange Blossoms So George pulled a ruse to work on Maria's sympathies. He jumped in bed, struck himself with a neat but refined dagger, and sent word to her that he was stabbed, with the warning that unless she came he would perform the fell deed all over again. Maria was slick. She arrived accompanied by the Duchess of Devonshire, and remarking that deathbeds were her specialty. The Prince lay moaning musically, and the ruffles on his pajamas were tipped with blood. It was too much for Maria. When he asked her to become his wife she accepted impulsively, and the Duchess of Devonshire loaned her her wedding ring. But George was convalescent too soon to suit Maria. She didn't believe he had stabbed himself. She fled to the Continent, and for over a year lived in seclusion. The villain still pursued her, however, and in 1785 she returned to London to be secretly married to him. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. R. Burt. George was so extravagant that he soon was forced to shut up his own establishment, Carlton House, and went to live with Mrs. Fitzherbert at Brighton. Pretty soon, even Thomas' life insurance was cashed in.

Expect J amp in Sales of Christmas Seals Here

At the Wayne county social service bureau, headquarters for the Christmas' seal sale drive, officials said Wednesday that the movement was progressing favorably. Although exact figures- could not be obtained, the requests for additional seals that have been coming in from the country districts were such as to cause them to

something about Maria that hurried one along so in life. Within three years the undertaker was soliciting Mrs. Fitzherbert's further patronage, in the event she should seek a third husband. "If I might make so bold to say it, Ma'am," he genially remarked as he collected for services rendered, "I was telling the Madame only the other night, you're one of our best customers. Ma'am." Thomas left Maria with a neat allowance, and as soon as she had observed a reasonable and dignified time of waiting, she trod the carpet again, wondering if she had better insert a want ad or just trust to luck. The Prince of Wales Saunters In Luck was longer but worth waiting for. She was one of the most popular ladies in London in 1784. It was in this year that she met the Prince of Wales, later King George IV. When he had maneuvered her into a cozy corner and was trying to get her biography straight, he exclaimed: "So you've been married twice already!" "Yes. Two good men. Looks like all the good die young." "Umph, here's to a long life without 'em," toasted his High Naughtiness. George was an orchid of the fields when it came to being gorgeously attired and no job in sight. He camped around the Widow's doorstep, trying to read an exclusive "Welcome" on the mat. But Maria was so used to saying "I will' in a preacher's face that said he'd have to sound her doorbell with a wedding ring. Maria was now 28; George was only 22. He went flying to his paternal error. "Father," he exclaimed breathlessly, "I'm off this king business; I want to live like a private gentleman." "Why George," exclaimed the old King, "if you've ever lived like a gentleman it has certainly been perfectly private." George couldnt get excused from the responsibility of being next in line for succession, and there were two laws that forbade him to marry Marja one the injunction against royalty wedding a Roman Catholic, and the other a law forbidding any of the royal house to marry without the King's consent.

There' was only one thing to do. The government wouldn't even give George postage stamps, because the news of his marriage had leaked out and he was barred from the line of succession. So the Prince caused it to be announced in the House of Commons that his marriage was false. This angered Maria at first, but when the House voted 221.000 pounds and the King added 10,000 pounds to his income, the outcome was reconciliation. By 1794 the royal spender was broke again, his million-odd dollars having gone down the sluice-way. This time Parliament refused to give him any more money unless he was married to a Princess royal. He agreed that if his debts were paid he would marry the Princess Caroline of Brunswick, and give up Maria. George Takes a Drink and Makes a Will The Princess Caroline received a warm welcome. When George first saw her he kissed her and collapsed into the arms of an attendant, moaning, "Ye Gods! Get me some brandy." He immediately made out a will leaving all the money he had, if any. to Mrs. Fitzherbert Hanover, in the event of his death under trying circumstances. Scarcely four years had passed before George was back, asking his first wife to forgive him for marrying his second. Maria sought religious counsel, and was advised that she was pure as the drifted lard, even if she had drifted. She decided to take him back. The influence of "Mrs. Prince," as her friends called her, lasted a long time, but when George began to talk in his sleep and call her "Sarah" she declared she would not share her morganatic happiness with any dismal blonde. "Back to Brighton," she sighed. George became Regent, and saw to it that she received an income of 6,000 pounds a year. All the time he was King, Maria never butted in. When he died. King William IV offered to make her a Duchess. She refused, but permitted her servants to be put in royal livery. When Maria died at Brighton in 1837, there was still a question as to her marriage to Prince George. But in 1905, a sealed packet left at Coutt's Bank, 72 years before, was opened by royal permission. It contained the marriage license of George and Maria, and proof of the legality of the ceremony.

OUTLINE NEW POLICY FOR AID TO MINING INDUSTRY OF COUNTY

(By Associated Tress) WASHINGTON, Dec. 8 An innovation in federal government bureau methods, involving practical co-oper

ative assistance to the mining, metal

lurgical and certain other industries of the country in solving many of the intricate and complex problems in manufacture, is outlined in the annual report of Dr. F. G. Cottrell, director of the bureau made public today. This new policy is described as a direct outgrowth of the world war. It is declared that not only has the bureau of mines adopted this advanced co-operation with the actual needs of the industries, but that the leading nations of the world are following suit, determined not to be left behind in the coming race for supremacy in the industrial trade of the world. Great Britain, it is said, is especially alive to this movement. For this new work the bureau of mines has 13 well organized experiment stations located in the different mining and metallurgical fields of the country, all fitted, Director Cottrell says, with the necessary chemical and laboratory apparatus as to enable it to take up with the industries peculiar to its districts where the stations are located . the most pressing problems that have baffled them, especially those involving the treatment of low-grade ores, many of them heretofore useless, and turn them into commercial processes of value to the nation. "

So successful have" these methods

of solving commercial problems been, according to the bureau of mines, that

at present, the, bureau ha3 agreements for experimental Work with 19 industrial concerns, 12 different universities and with state agencies in 11 states.

Government Issues Statement

For the first time since the inauguration of the boycott, the British Indian government has issued a statement of its attitude toward the movement, according to despatches just received by , the India Bureau. The

statement says that no repressive

action will be tanen ny me government "for it considers that such action should only be employed in the last resort, when, indeed, failure to adopt it would be a criminal betrayal of the

people". The government has re

frained from taking action against those who advocate a boycott of the government schools, the law courts and the legislative councils, for three reasons, namely: "Reluctance to interfere with the lib

erty of speech and of the press at a time when India is on the eve of

great advance toward the realization or responsible government. "Reluctance to make martyrs of individuals, some of whom may be honest in their convictions. "Trust that the common sense of India will reject the non-co-operation." The bureau states that the native element construes the statement to mean that action will be taken to repress the boycott on the slightest outbreak of violence or anything that may be construed as such.
