Grace Cameron, a pretty and accom
plished actress, well known to theater
goers. . playing at the Bungalow, has
become quite fsmous In theatrical cir
cles for her unsuitable taste for adven
lure. Had It not been for this same
love she might have been a baroness.
Miss Cameron waa taking a special
course three years ago in operatic sing
ing In Milan, u hlle there she met so
Italian nobleman, the Baron or Ro
sell!, a young man of much wealth and
high social standing. At the conclu
sion of her course Miss Cameron re
turned to America, where, according to
arrangements, the Baron was to follow
and the wedding waa to tako place.
The Baron arrived In due time and
seemed to be more in love than ever
with his btrothed. Preparations for the
wedding were being rushed and tha
beautiful Miss Cameron was being
showered with congratulations and
good wishes by her companions In stage
life when there waa a rift.
It was a suit of boy's clothes which
ade the course of true love pause
When the nobleman came face to face
with his betrothed in broad dsylight
and upon the public street clad In the
habiliments of a man It was more than
he could bear and all negotiations
were called off. Miss Cameron bad a
reason for her masquersding. A rela
tive had charge of experiments with
the submarine boat Shark, at the
Brooklyn avy-ysra. suss i-ameron
long had cherished a desire to take a
crulsa in the submarine boat and she
pestered her official relative so that at
last he consented to take her on board
on condition that she disguise herself
as a midshipman. It was after her
cruise under the sea and while on her
way back to her apartments that Miss
Cameron met her Italian lover and lost
all chance to become a baroness.
