trignnte.
II is not little curious how readily the
newspapers unite in ascribing certain at
tributes to public personAges for which
not the slightest foundation or feet Gan
be cited. This happens to be the case
regarding the Countess Won Waldersee,
the estirnable wife Of the new chief Of the
German military staff, end the successor
originally Miss Mary Lea, the daughter
OF wealthy wholesale grocer OF New
York, who, on dying, lett his family a
fortune. When one of the daughters
married German baron, the ambassador
Of the King OF Wurtsmburg 10 Paris, she
sent forlher sister Mary to live with her.
Under the roof of the Daronne WaechteE
the latter met tho Prince OF Schies wig
Holstein, who had been driven into exile
by the victorious Prussian- Austrian army
in 1864. The prince called, saw, and
wan conquered by the attractive Ameri.
can. Before Miss Mary would we'd, how
ever, she insisted that the prince should
resign his title, as she had no fancy for
being 1ound by the stiff etiquette OF Ger
man court circles. Ee complied with
her with, and was made a count by the
Emperor OF Austria. He was not des.
tined, however, to long enjoy either his
new rank or the society OF bis American
bride, aa he died few months after mar.
riage, while travelling in Egypt. The
countess then returned to her sisters
home In Paris, and remained there u1til
she married Count Won Waldefsee. Tho
latter was stationed for time in hanover,
and it was there that tho countess 40.
uuist d the reputation of Lady Bounti-
full, and on her husbands departure from
the city was followed to the station by
crowds of weeping women and children,
whose homes she had frightened by her
charity. At Berlin she has filled the same
role. This, we are assured on good
authority, is the real Countess Won Wal
deraee, whom ony American may DO proud
to call his country-womar.
But when We turn to the newspapers,
we are introduced to an altogether differ
ent character. The journalistic countess,
according TO the correspondents, 10 a
court 'lntrigants" who hos q salon"
where politics are discussed and reputs.
tons ARE made and unmade. The fact
that the countess Ia related to the present
empress through her firstmarrisgeis proof
positive to the correspondents that abe
/ exercises an undue influence over the in.
perial pair. The truth is that Countess
| Won Waldsrsee is far more interested in
her charities than in the undercurrents Of
German politics and while in position
to exercise powerful influence on tn,
DRIFT of affairs, all her tastes and i'm
pulses keep her as far removed as posi-
BILE from playing the part that irrespon
