T HE LIFE TALE OF BETTINA…
"#' T HE LIFE TALE OF BETTINA GERARD. SPECIALLY SET FOR THE EVENING EXPRESS. This is a story with a moral. I am not going I to tell you what the moral is. Ii you can find it .yourself it would be rime wasted 10 poini it, out. I< is (he. story oi' a ile;neraLc\ Lbc lif,> ia!o of Beilina Ordway-Padelt'ord-lleiai'd- lt;irt'ael-Wo!f-Beach-Sclmyler, a romance of real life which equals anything ill ibe pa^es of fiction. Bettina Gerard, as she was known from the Gaip sua dessrted a social career lor a hi'e of plfiasvae, v.ilh the stage as a» incidental cu- vitonment, is a study for Nordau. That she I is a moral degenerate is self-evident; that she i« the victim of a ja e-iia! .1 influence is a theory $it r. As a little girl Beilina Otdway dcvelojisd the trait which later in life proved her undoing. This was liev inordinate love of admiiation, which amounted to positive greed. As a child j her chief aim in life seemed to be to attfact the opposite sex. fehe was envied and haled by ] the girts of her acquaintance. Her youthful f cavaliers were numbered by the score. Even in those days of pinafores and cream chocolates she had her favourites. But they didn't last long. She was the pet of her father's household. General Ordway was a fine type of the American gentleman. A brave soldier, the. bearer of an honoured name, a man held in the highest esteem in the political and social circles of the Capital, he considered everything of second importance to his dark-eyed little Bettina. All the advantages of wealth and social position were hers. I She was sent to the Georgetown convent, but her restless spirit chafed at the confinement. She proved herself an apt pupil, both in her studies and in the midnight pranks which were played behind those dark convent walls. She soon became a leader. Her dominant nature asserted itself. Through her entire life no one can say that she ever played second fiddle. Bettina did not finish her course at the con- vent. Indulgent to a degree. General Ordway engaged private instructors for her. She bo- came an accomplished musician and linguist. Ail the graces that should fit her for a brilliant social career were iiers. Thru came her debut into Washington society. She at once became a belle. Young diplomats and old Ambassadors, callow striplings, and grizzled veterans, an paid homage to the fair Bettina. To her a man was iust a man. Her summers were spent at White Sulphur Springs, where her escapades created no end of gossip. "How shall I become famous H" asked a voung attache of the French Legation, who was stated next to Bettina at a dinner party one night. "I will make you famous," replied Bettina. She told a waiter to bring a bottle of wine, and, reaching under the table, removed her dainty satin slipper. This she filled with sparkling champagne, and passed it to the young Frenchman. "A toast to faiiie", she exclaimed, gaily. The Frenchman blushed, rose in his scat, and placed the slipper to his lips. Before he had completely drained it Bettina snatched it from his hand, finished the contents herself, and rewarded the gallant foreigner with a soulful glance. Arthur PadeiCord, the scion of one of Phila- delphia's oldest and most aristocratic families, was presented to the lovely Miss Ordwav. On his side it was a case of infatuation at first sight. On hers—well, lie was young, handsome, rich, and was her social equal. So they WOM married. Everybody said it was a brilliant match. They went abroad. Mrs. Padelford's voice was to ba further cultivated in Vienna. Rumours reached America of strained relations between the bride and groom. The name of a handsome tenor was mentioned, and there were others. Three months after the brilliant Padel- ford-Ordway wedding young Arthur Padelford was applying b'l' :l divorce, and the decree was granted. II. Bettina Ordway Padeuoul had appeared with distinction in private theatricals, and the stage had always possessed a fascination for her. She knew that her social life was a thing of the past, and she said she didn't, care. She was no", lacking in admirers and was plentifully supplied with money. She would go upon the stage. She would become a queen of comic opera and snap her lingers at conventionality. The opportunity was not difficult- to find. She was pretty, could sing, and had figured in the newspapers. She was a societ.v divorcee. "What more could the public waiit-" demanded the managers. So as Bettina Gerard she made her debut at the Columbia Theatre, in Chi- cago. It was in a short-lived comic opera called "The King's Fool." Bettina was fair to look upon, was possessed of a wonder- ful amount of confidence in herself, and. in the vernacular of the stage, "she made good." Jack Raffael was the tenor of the company. His otherwise handsome face bore a jagged scar, the mark of an angry husband's knife, received in St. Louis. Bettina married liim. His escapades rather tended to add a spice of romance in her eyes. Bettina remained Mrs. Raffael fully a month longer than she had borne the honoured name of Padelford. Then she grew tired of Raffael, and another divorce ensued. After this Bettina played a number of engage- ments, and met with a fair degree of success. She possessed undoubted talents, but she was crraiic. Her early tendencies had developed rapidly. Bohemia, the thrust and parry of wit, the. companionship of clever people, late suppers, getting to bed as the sun came up over the eastern house tops—these were the things she loved. She was' sipping" thè cup of pleasure. This was life. This was freedom. This was what she had longed for. She appeared under Rice's management in "The Seven at the Standard. She be- j came the talk of the town. The chappies I idolised her. Her pictures were displayed in the Broadway windows, and were sold by the hundreds. All, this was fame! Then she met young Harrison Wolf. He was the hero of "In Old Kentucky," and Bettina was the jockey who rode the winning horse in the racing scene. It was a dashing performance, and her ears tingled with the applause of both orchestra and gallery. She became Bettma Ordway-Padelford-Gerard-Raffael-Wolf. This alliance was as short lived as her previous matrimonial ventures had been. There was another divorce. Bettina vcarneu for another husband, and William Beach, who was then a member of Nat Goodwin's company, obliged her. Shortly after this there was another sensation, but the court records do not show that any ducice proceedings were instituted. The in- constant Bettina simply left the bed and board of her liege lord and sought pastures new. Philip Schuyler was the next. He was the husband of Dickie Delaro, but he didn't mind a little thing like that. Neither did Betty. "What was one husband more or less?" she argued with her own naive philosophy. Dickie applied for a divorce, and Bettina Ordway- ¡ Padelford C erard-Ranaet Wolf Beach added Scliuylcr to her list of names, and it was as Betty Schuyler that she was admitted to Belle- vue Hospital on September 22. But that is a story in itself. III. Out of the theatre, in that world which imagines that dissipation and Bohemianism are- synonymous, she, was known simply as Tlettv. Into tins after-theatre atmosphere of evening dress, champagne, and cigarette smoke. she literally hurled herself. The all night cafes of upper Broadway rang with her praises when she was not present, and rippled with her silvery laughter when seated at a table, or several tables placed together, surrounded by the men of her acquaintance. She was the queen of this false Bohemia. And so she went the pace. Although coar- sened by her associates, she was still brilliant. Her wit" and repartee had not deserted her, and there still remained a charm of the old life. But the pace was telling or her. Her consti- tution broke down, her health was shattered, her voice was failing, and she was no longer the attractiono in the eyes of the managers that she had been. It was whispered about that she had contracted the "dope" habit. She was getting liaid up, and that was something that Betty couldn't stand. She made repeated demands upon her father, who could never quite forget that the dissolute woman had once been his dark-eyed little Bet- tina. But he could not stand the disgrace oi her presence in Washington. He supplied her with a weekly allowance to remain away, accompanied by a goodly counsel. Betty accepted one ti(I rejected the other. Two years ago she entered a sanatorium, and when she came out she said she was perfectly cured of her bad habits. She secured engage- ments with "The Twentieth Century Girl." "A Black Sheep" and "The Lady Slavey." But she had returned to the old life. and one dismissal followed another. Managers no longer wanted the hollow-cheeked, prematurely aged wojilali. She drifted lower and lower. From the brilliantly lighted resorts of upper Broadway she became the habitue of saloons with "family entrances." But Philip Scliuylcr clung to her with a devo- tion which passes understanding. General Ord- way came on from Washington and offered his erring daughter an allowance of twenty-five dollars a week if she would leave America and never return. The next day she sailed on the steamer Aller, and Schuy'e^ accompanied lier, They tried to get an engogment to do a sketch in some of the London music-hails, but their services were net wanted. They lived a miserable existence in London, shunned by their fellow actors and actresses. Last summer they returned to New York. Betty haunted the theatres and exchanges, and an occasional purse was taken up for her. She and Schuyler finally secured an engagement to appsar at Proctor's, but Betty failed to put in an appearance. On the' register in Bellevue Hospital, under date of September 22, appears the iine —"Betty Schuyler, aged 28." And there she remains, helpless and paralysed. It is said that she will probably never re-gain the use of her limbs. In constant, attendance at her bedside is Philip Schuyler.

A coroner's jury at Tamworth on Friday night returned a verdict of manslaughter against the iinder-mamiger and deputy-manager of the Alve- cote Pit. It was stated that they failed to attend to the ventilation of a disused heading, and that a boy named Blount. who was sent to the heading to fetch sonietlifng, lost his life owing to an explosion which followed the light- ing of a match by the boy. 0

Quips and Cranks. I Conjurer: You see, la-dies and gentle- men. the dollar has vanished. We shall soon find out where it has gone. You, honest countryman, over there, just put your hand in your coat pocket! I'll bet you'll find the dollar. "No; I've only something over eighty cents!" "Impossible you must have the dollar!" o, I haven't! That was p. dollar you put in my pocket a while ago, but I've been out to have a drink since then! Tableau. A correspondent reports the following conver- sation which he accidentally overheard in a tram- car the other day between two young ladies. One of them was evidently essaying the role of peace- maker between her companion and another young In lady of their acquaintance who was not present. First Young Lady: "It's too bad, Jessie, that you and Maggie should have an ill-feeling between you. I'm sure she is heartily sorry for what she thoughtlessly said, and I am confident that she would be willing to meet you more than halfway. Come, now, Jessie, dear, IllY advice to you is to be magnanimous for once, and let her and you kiss and be friends." Second Young Lady (with em- phasis, her resentment by no means allayed): "Kiss Maggie Mitchell, the spiteful little mime! I wouldn't kiss her if she had a man's coat and hat on!" "What decoration is that. which you are wear- ing r" said a Volunteer sergeant to a rtcruit. The man blushed deeply, and responded, "It is a t medal our cow won at the cattle show."
