her.Opportunity for her broad ambitions was insufficient in the Crescent City and jt was not long before her desire to see life and better herself carried her across the Atlantic, where she guided the destinies of the cigar counter of a fashionable Paris hotel.There she mcquired a charm und puise and a way with men that made her hotel-stall a rendezvous for the young bloods of the French their blandishments fell upon deaf ears.Ambition to Eleanor Curran meant something more than an alliance with some gay young blade of the boulevards.Paris to her was schooling, and that only.Back in America

he is informed that the case will be handed over to a welfare society for attention and that his wife will be informed of his indiscretions.Varying sums are thus exacted.Sometimes they are in the form of monthly allowances, ranging from $20 to $100 a month and even of the victim to pay.These are turned into the agent's office for \u201csecret payment\u201d.Other times a lump sum is agreed upon, perhaps when\u2019 the agent will advise the victim that monthly payments are dangerous and might ultimately be discovered by his fam- fly.Also that they keep the man in constant touch with the

herself lonised by the same people whose nails she had once polished, CHICAGO AND MONTREAL.But life in thegCrescent City scon grew stale, and her husband, still infatuated and ous of pleasing his beautifyl young wife was able, by exerting his influence, to effect a transfer to Chicago.There she found her road to social recognition longer and more thorny, but there was no turning back.Reaching ever forward to grasp Society's sceptre determination was to overcome all obstacles, that might beset her path.: Then another transfer was made and in 1913 and 1914 Countess Moroni and her husband became popular figures in the social life of Montreal, the Count joining the ItaliAn consular service here.Disappointment her for the first time here for she found that, while many of the city\u2019s

accepted as a charming hostess and the most beautiful of all the city's younger matrons, Here it was that she met Roswell Colt, son of Colonel Samuel Pomeroy Colt, of .the Colt Revolver Works, and President of the United States Rubber Company.Colt, Junior, at that time was living in Montreal, where he was in the employ of the Dominion Rubber Company, a subsid- lary of his father\u2019s U.S.Rubber concern.The beautiful cquntess and young Coit soon became close friends, Count, Countess and Colt appearing together at many brillant founc- tions.Everywhere Rosewell Colt and the Countess were together, though she had many other friends and admirers &mongst the male members of Montreal's high-society set, A FRISKY YOUNG COLT.Roswell Colt had a lurid career in Montreal, where he was
