"Earle Isn't such a bad sort, after all;
Ferdinand Earls has a arood heart, all his friends
say. But there, are certain social oonventtons which
society will not permit being- broken despite any
magnanimity of spirit It might forgive Earle. but It
must show Its disapproval.
So the neighbors of the artist decided to shun the
new Mrs. Earle. When they meet Mr. Earle the men
recognise him. Mrs. Earle by the women of Monroe Is
said to bs regarded as a stranger.
. RUINATION FOR ONE MAN
A number of years ago Frank A, Magowan was
Mayor of Trenton. N. X He was talked of as a future
Governor of the state. When a poor man he had
married a poor girl; when he got rich through rub
ber industries he tired of the, wife of his days of pov
erty, and becoming Infatuated with the wife of an
employe, eloped West with her, secured a divorce from
his wife and married the new charmer.
Upon their return to Trenton they were ignored

she may bs said to have returned to a measure of
soolal success f
As the wife of Henry T. Sloans the now Mrs. Bel
mont was a social lander. At Newport she was re- ,
garded as among the prominent personages. She went
everywhere and Was entertained by everybody.
' Then same the ehapter of her life story that wasn't
pleasant Her husband divorced her and she promptly
married Belmont Society said little aloudi It spoke
In whispers.
But when Mrs. Belmont returned to the field of her
former social successes she found the bars ware up.
Society withheld the hand of welcome; few persons
accepted her Invitations. She was virtually frosen out
This condition of affairs lasted nearly fiva years,
when some of her former friends began to rally about
her. and a compromise was mads by which Mrs. Perry
Belmont and Mrs, O, XX. Pi Belmont who led the social
war against her sister-in-law. were Invited alternately
to functions. -Things were so arranged that they never
met Such an arrangement was naturally humiliating
to the divorcee, and sh made a bold move.
She would win out or lose but she would not lose
without a struggle. Mrs. Belmont went to London.
Perry Belmont was an old friend of the Baron Al
fred de Rothschild. The baron did not know nor care (
about any scandals concerning the divorce, nor had be 1
any interest In Newport's soolal wars. A dinner was
biles and electric toys In great bomber and variety to
, banish, monotony- from his youthful Ufa. ' i '
But ths most famoua-and,, psrhaps, costly of all
miniature railways is one on the estate of Percy H.
'sn la the suburbs of Manchester, England. It cost '
: ln tha neighborhood of $50,000. . , t --: : .

stations to the signal system along the route.
Locomotive and tender form a piece of machinery
8 feet long and It Inches high. It runs on a 6-Inch
gauge track, and is an exact duplicate In miniature
of an express engine on the London and Northwestern
Railroad. The little engine and tender cost $1800, and
took about nine months to complete. Nearly two years
were required for building the entire system.
Charcoal is ueed tor fuel in the locomotive, which
can travel six times around tho length of the system
. without renewal of fuel. The train makes a speed of
about six miles an hour on straight stretches of track,
although this speed is considerably reduced on curves. ;-
There are both passenger and freight trains. The
passenger train has four cars, mnd accommodations for .
. first second and third class travel are portrayed with
faithful attention to detail as It 'Is known In England.
given by htm to Mr. and Mrs. Belmont tn London, to
which wars mvtted, among other notable guests, the
duke and duchess of Connaught, Prlnoe Frauds of
Took and other persons close to the king. -,
This dinner marked the turning point of Mrs. Bel
mont's career. She oould now snap her fingers at New
- Tork. Shortlr fUf Uiii dlnneif M Belmont jnet and
chatted with King Edward at Ascot Then followed
her appearanos at the royal ball In Windsor Castle,
when President Ixmbet of France was England's guest
. Her appearanos at the grand opera soored another
suoesss. New Tork and Newport read of Mrs. Bel
mont's triumph abroad, and when she returned she
found a different atmosphere awaiting her.
Any woman who had been eeen walking with the
king of England could not be ignored. Was It to be
Mrs. O. H. p. or Mrs. Perry T The Belmont season was
beginning. And the Newport crowd chose Mrs. Perry.
When - Mrs. James P. Kernoohaa entertained the
Marchioness da Mores Mrs. Perry was present; Mrs.
O.H. P. Belmont was not'; Vr.:'l-.f M'
Than earns a muajoale by Mrs. William T. Bull and
an afternoon party given by Richard Hall, the artist
Mrs. Perry was conspicuous by hsr presence; Mrs. O.
- H P. by b? absence. And so it went on. It was
amusing, t
It Is not likely that Mrs. Corey or Mrs. Earle will
find the ley barriers of protest melting ss readily as
did those confronting Mrs. Belmont The woman who
became the second Mrs. Magowan could not make
headway agatnst an adverse publlo sentiment
"Undoubtedly social ostracism would curb the num
ber of divorces, especially In society, deolared so
ciologist recently. "One thing dear to a woman is
social recognition and success.
"In society divorces have been regarded as quite
an ordinary procedure; divorcees are remarried, return
to the fold and find arms open to receive them. Per
haps they are all the mors popular because of their
matrimonial escapades.
"But if a good, healthy publlo sentiment were
aroused and every man or woman figuring In an un
savory dlvoros scandal were eoldly turned down, we
should find that marrlags would not be regarded so
lightly; that men would not cast off their faithful
wives for stage favorites, and that society would, be
oleaner. ' - '
"Before risking social ostracism, men and women
would hesitate long era they east aside lightly the
ties that should bs sacred." .. .
Ths freight train consists of ten cars and a caboose,
and Indicates facilities for handling every kind of
freight, from ooal to grain and cattle.
It isn't always ths child of vsry wealthy parents
who can boast of remarkably constructed and costly
toya' Last winter ths little son of George -A. Wosrs,
Of IMS Oxford street Philadelphia, was delighted to
find among his presents a miniature amusement park,
reproducing with fidelity the attractions of Willow
Qrove.
- This model of the well-known summer resort Was
made- of wood and metal by the father of tho delighted
little fellow. Mr. Woera worked over the model for
more than three yeare. Every detail of ths park Was
reproduoed In the replica, even to the eleotrio lights,
the moving dancers and waiters.
In all, Mr. Woers estimates that ths "toy eost him
$1000, to say nothing of countless hours of work. It
occupies fifty feet or floor spaoe. .
- For little John Nicholas Brown, for soma years
known as the richest baby in America, a fairy palace
has been constructed at Newport R I. It cost over a
million dollars, on the tnira floor is a largs hall, it
' by 41 feet, which Is ths special domain and playroom
, of the petted youngster. - , A . .
In tho aloovee is a great mass of moving scenery,
set pleoes and other paraphernalia tor games provided
on a liberal scale. If young John and his friends wish
: to play Wild West they may find all the adjuncts at
. handmountains, camps, rooking horses, trees and
-wild animala
Perhaps the most extravagant expression of a fond
parent's love Is to be found in the fairy estate being -created
near Chicago for young Lollta Armour,, daugh-
tor of J. Ogden Armour, One of the world's money
kings. It' Is believed that thle fairyland will cost, when
. completed, between $10,000,000 and $16,000,000.
, : . HER OWN WOODLAND
There) Lollta will have her own woodland, filled
with vines and wild flowers, and the forests wUl
team with all kinds of animal life. The grounds will
be dotted with lakee and waterfalls, the waters wUl
be stooked with" fishes of many varieties, and upon
the surface will ply yachts, electric launches and
other boats of various kinds. . ,
Briefly, this 9-year-old girl will be provided with
the most beautiful palaoe of modern times, filled with
every comfort that the heart could wish and every
. luxury that money can buy, and surrounded by such a
dreamland as only the mind of the greatest landscape
'engineer could devise.- - .
These are all special eases, you may Say. Yes, but
any fond parent with money can provide wonderful
delights for hie little ones at almost any largs store.
One may purchase a mechanical acrobatlo group of "
four persons for $500. The principal figure in this Is
18 inches high, ths others smaller, but their "stunts-
ajre amaslng. -. - -1.--'- .''(
For $160 one may secure a mountain scene with an
electrlo train winding about the hilla A complete" ,
circus with mechanical figures can be secured for $17$. '
and a German parade for $260. r .-- s
There are steam yachts that fill every requirement
of the small boy, and cost only $0, and the genius of
toy makers has evolved a great variety of mechanical
effeots that are within the reach of persons of mod v.
rate meana .' . .'
