At a well-known house in Belgrave Square where I was partaking of the "cup that cheers" the other afternoon, everyone was aduing something to a tale which has been going the rounds lately anent the girls of a family who reside on the other side of the square. While at their river seat re cently the women of the house decided that it would be good sport to engage a barrel organ and, attired In costumes to suit the occupation of organ-grmdlng. to go round and perform for their neighbors. Getting the men of the house party to Join them they labelled themselves "unemployed" and thus rallied forth. When, however, they arrived at the Warren.

Tba young duchess of Manchester, nes Helen Zimmerman, is credited with being about to publish a novel in which several prominent people wtll find tiiemselves de picted to life, and so thinly veiled that eves thewe on the fringe of society will recognise them.

The duchess of Manchester makes flying visits here, but takes every precaution to keep ber name out of the papers. Publicity she bales, and show is ber aversion. But she is very fond of ber own friends and makes it a point of entertaining them in a quiet way at a quiet restaurant or a hotel, for she cannot always get them to Ireland, where. In a country bouse things are either as dull aa a London sky or the oilier extreme. Mem at Cvoklag Parties. Domesticity, In a somewhat freakish fash ion, is having Its innings just now in the smart world. The latest erase Is the "cooking party" in which men play as prominent a part as women. The invita tions are issued on bits of cardboard In tho shape of dishes, and in one comer is a picture of a chefs cap. in another the words. "Come and cook with me," with tho sender's name and address usually Grosvenor or Berkeley Squara. Over their evening dress ths men don white aprons and chefs capu, while tba women wear large fantastic pinafores and bewitching lace head-dressea. Sometimes tho "cooks" take possession of the lower regions, all tho servants having been sent out for the evening. Mora often it Is in the dining room that1 the operations take place, when a long row of chafing dishes and methylated spirit stoves substitute the kitchen range.

Is the central figure in a dis graceful action in court. It la m no new guise that this modern siren appears, but in hor old role of trader In men's affec tions and sou la. A wonderfully beautiful and fascinating woman she-first cams Into tho public talk because of ber threatened breach-of -promise suit sgainst the young Duke of Westminster, the richest peer in Great Britain, who returned from South Africa and from the seductive Influences of Mrs. Atherton In answer to a direct com mand of the king and who married hia fiancee, tho -laughter of Mrs. Cornwallis West, after pressure bad been brought to bear upon him by his royal ftiend. Next Mrs. Atherton made her bow as the claimant in a breach-of-promiso suit against captain, the Hon. John Reginald Tarde-Buller, heir of Lord Churston, who married the actreas, Denlae Onnet, after plighting his affections to tho ensnarer of the duke of Westminster. Tarde-Bulier really had no defense, although the case was allowed to go to trial, for he had been named ae co-rf,md!it In the divorce caae of the woman's husband, which was undefended a couple of years before. At the last moment Mrs- Atherton accepted a verdict in ber favor without monetary damages, although her claim had been to the tune of lluO.Ott). Now this attractive woman appears n the Scottish courts as ths co-respondent in a divorce action brought by Mr. Clara Elizabeth Stirling, nee Taylor, an American actress, who, when she met John Alexander Stirling, ber husband, was appearing in "The Earl and the Girl." lafiy Mother Attacka Co risslest. Some hint of tiie sensational nature of the present action was given la a recent caae of assault in which Mrs. Athertoa and tiie mother of Mra Stirling appeared in the courts. The latter woman called at the Uayfair home of Mrs. Atherton and. gain ing an entrance, attacked the "perpetual co respondent." scratched ber face and gen erally meast-d up her beauty, declaring at the same time ttiat Mra Alherton tad de liberate! v wrecked h--r daughter's home.

Tardy-Bjilrr sud Mr. Stirling do not constitute a complete list of Mrs Atherton s victims, it appears, for during the progress of the Stirling trial it was testified sue had succeeded In ensnaring Baron Eckhardi.iem. The baron, who ts a German, has also had a full measur of domeaUo woe. for he is separated fro -a his wife, who ts a daughter of the lata Sir' John Mapie. an extremely rich depart meat store proprietor of London. Tho baroness spent hundreds of thousands 'of dollars In liquidating her tilled husband's debts and then became sick of the experi ence aud separated from him. Accorling to Mra Athertoa. this "prise packet" pro posed mat nags to her and she contemplated Journeying to Germany to interview las mother. How many more young and foolish or old and senile fish have been caught In this woman's nets only the recording angel knowa Dak mt Weatsafasler Eataagled. , Her affair with the dure of Westminster was undoubtedly the most interesting of her exploits. Long before that youthful peer arrived in South Africa on hia way to the front in the Boar war Mrs. Atherton was the subject of discussion in every smart boudoir and club In Xaindon. Her capers were notorious snd the names of half a dosen youths w.th high sounding handles to their credit in Burke's were coupled with hers at different times. All of the smaller fry were dropped, however, by Mrs. Atherton when the duker scarcely out of Ins teens, appeared on the scene Here, ready at hand for the plucking was the best ""part!" in the English peerage. In a few weeks the duke was madly in love with his fascinating temptress. Th husband, however, proved a stumbling block and srrangements were made by Uie couple for an elopement. The protected affair came to the ears of tho officer com- j manding ths duke's regiment and ho cabled the state-of affairs to England. When tho duke left England for ths front ho was engaged to Miss Shelagh Cornwallis West, the daughter of one of ths brainiest and most influential women in England, and a charming and beautiful girl. The two had known each other all their Uvea and it had heen a more or less understood, tiling through their childhood that they would eventually marry each other. Klsg Edward latereeeles. When the news of the duke's infatuation for Mra. Athertoa and bis intention to elope reached Mrs. Cornwallis West she wasted no time over futile schemea She Immedi ately repaired to headquarters and In a few hours a message from the king waa on its way to South Africa, summoning the duke of Westminster home. Upon the youth's arrival in London he was Immediately closeted with his majesty, who loki him a few plain, naked trutlis about Mra Athertoa and women of ber claaa. The duke Mt a wiser man and soon after his marriage with Miss Shelagh took place. Mrs. Atherton, however, did not surrender till tiie last gun was fired. An aud&ctoua. unscrupulous woman, all the ex alted names in the English peerage could not scare her from her prey. She followed the duke to England on the next steamer ami It took all the wonderful ingenuity of Mrs. Cornwallis West to shield her fuiure son-in-law from the South African sweet heart. In the end the duke, to avoid a lawsuit, waa compelled to psy a sum that approached $HW.J as heart salvo to thu disappointed beauty. ' Mrs. Atherton s next victim, so far as ths public recorus go. waa the Hon. Tarde Buller. Uer liaison with the heir of Lord Churston was so open and shameful that iter husoand was compelled to take action for divorce. Neither tne Hon. Johnny nor the wife took the trouble to deny the allegations of the oomplatnt and tho bus band secured his diulu deserved divorce. After a period of ardent and passionate wooing on the part of Tarda- Builer, Mrs. Atherton thought she would like to try the soarriage state again and broached ths sub ject to her lover. But the heir of Lord Churston balked Immediately. Mrs. Ather toa was ths Ideal woman for a liaison, but sue hardly fitted in with hia Ideas of the future baroness. Hia protestations of affec tion grew leas ardent and hia visits less frequent. Ftiia'Jj' they ceuted altogether and the detectives whom Mra Athertoa put on his track reported that he was pay ing court to Deniae Onus, a clover and beautiful acttesa, who waa then appearing at Daly-a theater. Mrs. Athertoa threatened all kinds of revenge if her unfaithful swsla did not return, but the Hon. John was this time seriously wounded by cupid. the marksman, and finally married the ac tress. Breach ( Proaalae Salt Settled. Then came the now famous suit for breach of promise. The Hon. Tarde-Buller. It was quite openly announced, would de pend, when the case came to trial, upon the evidence of the duke of Westminster. Aa the duke had already paid a small for tune to escape the terrors of the witness box and the necessity of laying bare his relations with Mrs. Atherton. It can be Im agined that he did not look with pleasure on the promised ordeaL. At the last moment, it la said, representatives of the wealthy peer appeared on the scene with their pock ets well filled with gold and after a secret Interview with Mrs. Atherton, that enter prising "bminess woman" agreed to accept a verdict In her favor without money dam ages from the defendant.
