One | of them represents Alexandre Dumas (suthor of “Monte Ortste” | and “The Three Guariemen”) seated with hig arm evound @ |atrikingly beautiful woman, who is encircling his fet nesk with her ews | graceful arms. The second photograph is ‘hand of the same beautiful woman, | hie shoulder. ‘The woman that these two famous writere—and many another celed- rity—delighted to honor was Adah Isaacs Menken, a whirlwind heart- breaker of mid-nineteenth century days; a woman who was the relgni beauty of two continents. She wes born in New Orleans in 1836 of Spanish parentage. Her same ‘was Dolores Adios Fusrtes. Loft @ penniless orphan at thirteen, he Decame @ Gancer, dropped the “Dolores” from her name and changed the “Adtos” to “Adah!” She won great success throughout the Southern States and Cubs ‘oth fn dancing and as ep actress, and was overwhelmed with suitors. At twenty-one she married John Isaacs Menken, & musician, ‘This union was of short duration. Tn 1850 Adah te #aid to have married John C. Heenan, the pugitiet, whom she divorced three years later. An- other marriage and another divorce@ollowed before she was thirty, and in 1966 whe was married for a fourth time. Meanwhile she had won laurels as Mazeppa in the dramatization of Byron's poem of that name. Also she had won the love of Lord Stanley, who met her in New York during his American tour, and whose pride she is said to have humbled by utterly flouting him. ‘Then, in 1866, she sailed for Europe, and there her real career began. Sho took London and Paris by storm; @ single week's receipts from her asting amounted to $70,000, Great men vies for her fickle favor. She had become an accomplished sculptor by this time and was a poet of unusual ability. To multiform talents and her subtle charm, as well as to her mere beauty, she owed her powera as a heartbreaker. Charles Dickens was tremendously interested in her and edited some of her poems. She named her Seventh avenue home in New York “Bleak House” in his honor. Algernon Charles Swinburne was a frequent and openly devoted guest at her London apartment. It was during this period that Swinburne posed | with her for the photograph whtch afterwan he wished in vain to suppress. Charles Reade waa also one of her many famous admirers From London sho went to Paris. There she was feted even more than in London, The Emperor, Napoleon IIT., was dazzled by her beauty, and she mado no secret of her fascination for him. Dumas was even more deeply infatuated, as shown by the photograph which his son later besought the Paris shopkeepers to remove from their windows, Theophile Gautier, the French writer, also succumbed to her charms. From Parts to Vienna she continued her triumphal progress. From kings to peasants, men lost thelr heads and hearts to her, The poems she wrote were compiled in a volume called “Infelicta," and dedicated to Dickens. She claimed —whether rightfully or not—to be the author of that much disputed tyric, “Beautiful Snow.” She said she had written it as a girl, had sent it to magazine and had heard nothing more about ft until suddenly she found tt hi become world-renowned. Adah Isaacs Menken died tn Paris in 1888. For years her body laydn a neglected grave at Pere la Chaise Cemetery, Then a few people who remembered her in the days of her glory erected above the grave a huge monument. in Two of the great poet Swinburne, holding the while her other hand rests lovingty oa | A Mateorio Career.
