Baron hrolf von dewitz, of Copenhagen, unlike* Prince Flelle de Sagan and numberless other foreign noblemen, did not come to America to win e great heiress. ’nstead he was supremely happy In marrying, a fortnight ago. In Boston, the little toe dancer. Nina Pastorelll. Miss Pastorelll has no fortune except her toes. It was. In fact, her twinkling toes that the Baron fell In love with at first. After ward be mado the psychological discover*- that she had a mind. Now the Baron and his dancing bride are spending a happy honeymoon at the Manhattan Square Hotel In New York before going back to Copenhagen to brave the wrath of the elder Baron Otto von Dewitz, champerlaln to the Grand Duke Meehllnburg-Strelltz. Baron Otto had planned a brilliant match for hl3 son. In fact, the bride had already been selected —the daughter of an English man, a South African raining king. But when the young Baron saw her he fled to America. For the heiress had a hare lip, red hair and was as square built as an English navvy. Though the Baron had no money, he had lofty Ideals on marriage and all other sub jects. Moreover, he had been in the United States before, and knew that th!« country furnishes the prettiest girls on earth, and he vowed he would rather have an undow ered American girl than the wealthiest trlde in Europe. It was about two years ago when the doughty Baron, ex-Lleutenant in the Dan ish Navy, came to thlß country, resolved ♦o make a living as best he could and fall In love at the first good opportunity. When he saw Nina Pastorelll, the pretty toe dancer, as one of the Dancing Daisies, he thought she was a poem of motion. On an auspicious occasion lie sought an Intro duction to her at Mrs. Broughton Bran denburg's studio In New York. She was so very small and dainty, so pink and white and blond, and took such little mincing steps, that It seemed to the BaroD’s romantic mind that she must have risen, like an elf, new-born from the chalice of o flower. The Baron, casting about In his mind to find some appropriate English term to de scribe the girl that so appealed to his fancy, called her “Little Insect.’* The girl was furious. “ ‘lnsect,’ sir! What do you mean by calling me such a name?’* Then the Baron, overwhelmed, fell on his knees and begged her pardon, declaring he menm that nothing hut an Insect could t>e so exquisitely graceful. The quarrel so dramatically started I**? to explanations and counter-explanations. The Baron, to his great amazement, found that the “little Insect’’ had n bright, keen mind. lie ventured the remark that he had never before known a dancer to have a mind. This was almost as fatal a remark as calling her ‘‘Little Insect,’’ and resulted In further complications. The poor Baron was almost beside himself. In despera tion he declared she was the perfect “Psyche type.’’ This so mollified the little dancer that *he graciously forgave the bungling Baron. Indeed, she really became Interested In him, and confided to him that she was not cn Italian and that her real name tbs not I’astorelll. but something very m ich like Fmitb, and that she came from Chicago. Id these subtle ways love grew apace. The Baron marvelled at the girl’s golden hair and dark eyebrows. He said her type of beauty was so rare thnt It would create a sensation in his country. There are mauy blond beauties In Den mark, but they are mostly big and pon derous. Think of that Teutonic type, six feet tall, pivoting on a single toe! How his country people would be en raptured with this sweet coin ta&sle beauty with black eyebrows! At first his thoughts were purely senti mental. Then be began to see dramatic possibilities for his fiancee abroad—for 1* was not lung before th«? “Little Insect ' had shown symptoms of accepting his suit. He began negotiations with the roytil theatre in Copenhagen with a view to in ducing them to engage Nina I’astorelll as premiere danseuse. In that event he could return borne In a blaze of glory, the proud husband of the leading toe dancer •f the realm, and she could be raised i ’ *.-> Vfjyp Mil mi *■ ■■ ■■- An Ev,tv Nioht Sc«ne at th» Oam Ing Tablet In thg Casino at Monte Cerlo, Which Hae been Called "Hell l- tUuliM " by his noble rank to a baroness. As titular chamberlain to the Brand Duke Meehllnburg-Strelltz, he might even make his “dancing daisy" a memlfcr of the royal household. In the meantime Miss Fastorelll went on with her dramatic work. But she was very lonely without her gallant Baron. One day she received a letter that said: “Dear Little Insect: “What Is the use of being miserable separated? We might as well be miserable united. I can hardly puss the day for thinking that your little toes are twlukliug §o very fur away.” At one time Nina Pastorelll would have bceo provoked at such a proposal. But she had learned from experience that the Baron was incorrigible In his love-making. In spite of all her protests he persisted In adopting that hated term “Little In sect” as his pet uame for her. Finally, to settle all controversies, they were mar ried.
