[From the Now York Eta.]
The marriage of actresses, especial
ly when they are united to men out.
side of their profession, are frequent
ly inharmonious. Nor is it strange
since the theater has a world of itt.
awn-very different from the real
world-and forms views and fixes hab
its not likely to be understood by
persons of other training and eiperi
ance.
The fault is not with the player,
but with her conditions, inevitably
)pposed to such as common-place
moatrimony requires. Persons joined
in wedlock should have muuh in
3onmon to begin with : a thousand
sireumstances are liable to come ho
tween them subsequently, even when
they are favored of the connubial
gods.
A man in ot-er pursuits who weds
in actress with the expectation of en
ire concord, is generally as unwise
issho is to accept hima, hoping to
make him happy b5 her self-bestow
al.
A case in point is that of Louis J.
Tennings, now of the Times, and Miss
llonriques, who for several years was
lie leading lady at Walluck's Thea
er. Mr. Jennings fell in love with
Ahis comely actress while he was oor
re-poudertof the London Times, and
luly espousod her. A brief taste of
natriiony, and she again appeared
an the stage. This gave rise to
nany rumors. She played but a
4iort time, when she retired per.
nantly. Though still engaged, she

eaauty, as it is natural she should,

Iren.

narried some years ago to a Mr.

with entire satisfaction to both par

George Butler, a nephew of Ben
amin, also became her wedded lord
ust before he went as Consul Goner
ii to Egypt. A paragraph to tha!
:ffeet was printed at the time in somie
f the city papers. Butler denied its
,rutb, and the marriage license was
hen publishei, which wan, at least,
itrong corroborative evidence of the
act. The newly appiinted official
