Mrs. Flagler was Ida Shrouds, the daughter of a Philadelphia clergy- man. She possessed an independent fortune of her own, but, having a fancy for the stage, became for two years an actress. After she had re- tired from this she returned to Phila- delphia, and there met Mr. Flagler. He was wealthy then, but the Stand- ard Oil Co. had not become the colos- susithas. Their courtship was brief, and they were married June 4, 15883. Mr. Flagler soon after established homes at 685 Fifth avenue, New York City, Mamroneck, N. Y , and a winter home at St. Augustine, Fla. Hehad just begun to take an interest in the state which has since become a coun- try of palace hotels built by him. The marriage was happy in every re- spected. Husband and wife were de- voted, but it brought one sorrow that preyed constantly upon the wife’s mind—the sorrow which follows childlessness. She could not be di- verted from thoughts of it. It caus- ed melancholia and finally dementa. For years the husband kept his wife at the Fifth avenue home, sur- rounded by every attention money could buy, but three years ago, after he had learned there was no hope, upon advice she ¥ sent to the sani- tarium. The husband immediately gave up his northern homes and has since resided in Florida. Whenthelaw which makes insanity a ground for an absolute divorce was introduced by the Florida legis- lature last winter it aroused a storm of oppositien. It was openly assert- ed that it was put forth in the inter- ests of Mr. Flagler, and wasestablish- ing a precedent never before thought of in any other state. The pulpit and newspapers of the state inveigh- ed against it, and there was mass meetings without number in protest, but the bill became a law, and the Flagler case was the first to be filed under it.
