Early in 1907, Wardrope became ill, and went to stay with friends at Dandenong. Three months later he FLITTED AWAY, without giving any c!ue as to his destination. His wife heard later that he had got in tow with an actress, and had gone to Western Australia with a touring company. For the next five years she wrote to him at intervals and made personal appeals to him at the Bijou to come back to her but he would not do so giving her to understand that he had adopted a mode of life in which she had no place.
