RUTH DRY ANS ROMANCE i

The Daughter of the Commoner Afterj Wedding Against Her Parentst

i Wishes Now Seeks a Divorce

i Washington D C Der 1A Lincon Xeb dispatch to the Post saysAn emissary of William J Bryan is

I now on his way to Fralllhe may btthere by this time for the purpose of

j seeing Mr Bryans soninlaw in reI gard to a divorce suit about to bebrought by Ruth Bryan Leavitt The

j object it is said is to agree upon asetth ment

I Mrs William Horn r Leavitt has es-

tablished¬

I a residence in Colorado forthe purpose it is understood of bring-ing

¬

I a divorce suit under the liberallaws of that state It is not merelya paper residence Mrs Leavittspends probably twothirds of her

I time in the state the remainder beingt spent with her parents at Lincoln

The divorce suit which she is aboutI tn bring marks the end of an inter-esting

¬

roiname if by romance isI meant a marriage where the girl de-

fies¬

the wishes of her parentsl Ruth Bryan was a selfwilled beau-tiful

¬

and probably foolish girl of 17An artist named Leavitt came toMin-coln to paint her fathers portraitHe was twice her age and more near ¬

ly the age of her father but goodlooking clever and dashing Ruthwas the most popular and brilliant pu-

pil¬

1

in the college at Lincoln She hadan enviable reputation us an afterdinner speaker and her essays gavepromise of a great future though herfoot was on the bottom rung of thefreshman class

Leavitt had traveled over the worldand brought to the quiet home in Lin ¬

coln a report of what was to be seenin his towns It opened a new world-to Ruth Bryan and she announced herdetermination to starry him

Wedded on Eighteenth Birthday-

Mr Bryan who with all his ideal-ism

¬

shrinks from a close applicationof it and is practical enough at heartwarned his daughter against the mar ¬

riage and lid all he could to preventit So did Mrs Bryan But Ruthwas too selfwilled to permit of inter-ferencej She had to wait for hereighteenth birthday because her fath-er

¬

and mother had legal control of herup to that tinge but on that very dayshe was married I

Then the illstarred married life be-

ganI

Leavitt it is said had no mon ¬

ey but that was a defect the Bryansmight have remedied but for the in-

eradicable¬

effects of his temperament-He is declared to have acquired hope-lessly

¬

the Bohemian idea He drag-ged

¬

his sweet young wife through Den-ver

¬

hashhouses it is asserted when I

he could as well hate dined her atI good hotels At last the glamour woreoff and she left hint-

s year ago W J Bryan found thathis two grandchildren Bryan andRuth were tiring in comparative slutlor in poor sections of Denver andI

he went there a lid rescued them andtheir mother The outcome was theColorado residence and the suit fordivorcet Leavitt has been living in Paris aliithis time A while ago he was the al-

leged¬

nearvictim of an attemptedmurder and the reports brought acrossthe Atlantic have no indication of Un-reason for the assault

Ruth Leavitt is as sweet a girl as I

lever port celebrated She is 24 now I

but she does not look a day over 17 j

and the presence ot two children onei

of 4 and the otter of C seems almostincredible Her mouth i < a little wideand that is the only defect in her facebut that mouth is so sweet and sensi-tive

j

that it seems to lend an additionalbeauty to her countenance Her color-is

I

delicate and tine and her featureslovely I

She is so uqick and witty that her I

cleverness is a proverb west of the I

Missouri The Republican matrons of I

Nebraska delight to boom leer even j

thought their partisanship compelsthem to stand out stanchly against herfather
