The beauty that won the love of
England's greatest ' naval hero and
made the British nation gasp has Us
perfect prototype In twentieth century
Gerda Nelson, who has flung defiance
In the teeth of Old World convention
alism, ridden rough-shod through her
family escutcheon and claimed . th s
freedom of this country for the ex
ploiting of her unquestioned genius.
A study of the accompanying photo
graph, will be of interest, to students
of theosophy. ; ' '. '
"When Braham sang The;peath of
Nelson,' Lady Hamilton showed vun
usual emotion, and,' as it was. th.'im
presslon that she had gone to the thea
trefpr ,thia pprpose. It tbxewjeai dla
credit upon the genuineness of her
' woe.
To Buch attacks as these Miss Gerda
NelsonreplIed with rare spirit; assert

the great truth and loyalty that was

my braVe great-grandmother, and as
" my family never fails to assure me
that I have every drop of her emotion

'name of Nelson through the medium
:- of the stage. '. ".; : '
Armed with letters from members
' of tho English nobility and escorted
by one of the leading London mana
" gers, Miss Nelson duly presented her
self at the Stuyvosant theatre in New
York City, and met the master genius
of America's producing stage, David

to get to work Immediately.; Kaowlr i
that his brother; Frederick had jual
purchased the, western rights of' Tt
Elmo, he telegraphed, "I havs an Ideal
actress 'for your St.'' Elmo company.'
"Send her on at my expense and v c

from Sen Francisco. ... :. " ! v, ;
Her wlnsom type of beauty was. bo
nearly suited to the lovely and trust

Nelson does not want to tie herself
up to any one country as splendid op
portunltles will open for her abroad.
Many souvenirs, including' highly
treasured letters, are among Miss Nel
son's possessions, and she values most
a buckle worn by Nelson during all
his later ; naval engagements, and
which came into her branch of the
family through the kindness of the
Viscount Brldport, Duke of Bronte,
Gerda's great uncle, who also pre
sented most of the relics to be found
today in the British museum. ,
The accompanying picture of the or
iginator of '"England expects every
than to do his duty" .Is from a' cele
brated painting by D F. Abbott,, and
