GAR is DISTURBED
BECAUSE AN ACTRESS WHOM HE
GAVE JEWELS IS GOING TO
ST, PETERSBURG
SHE is PLUMP AND PRETTY

Some Time Ago in Paris the Gar
Gave Her an AiGrette SprinEIed
With Diamonds, Which Cost at
Least $5,OoOO-DOesn't Want Her
ia st. Petersburg, as Her Pres
ence would Annoy the Czarina.
From the New York Journal.
Nicholas IL, ear of all the Russias,
Is privately much distressed and en-
barrassed by the behavior of a little
French actress. Her behavior threatens
to bring down on his majesty the wrath
Of the czalina. Isn't that enough to
worry an autocrat? MademoiselIe Ger
maine Gallois is one Of the reignimg
professional beauties of Paris. The
car made her reputation. She capt.
waited him during his stay in Paris. He
was so indiscreet a t. give her sew
eral tangible proofs of his regard IN
the form OF splendid jewels. Now Ger
maine announces her intention of pay
ing professional visit to st. Peters,
burg. She wisely judges that her pre-
NlouS acquaintance with tbs ear Will
lend eclat TO this visit
His majesty is greatly perturbed
how shall he prevent the scandal
which the coming of Germaine will Gre
ate? She is sure to mingle in the So
ciety OF the young nObleman and Off
GERS of the cars court. Judging by
her past indiScreetness, she is equally
sure TO boast of the cars faVOrS to
her. The censorship which is so effect
i've over newspapers does not entirely
control the human tongue. The car is
a we'll meaning young monarch 1t
was only mild indiscretion into which
he was driven by the intOlerabI bore
dom of his Partisan visit. He is very
anxious that ii should not cause VeXa-
ton to the czarina. OF course, the car
can prohibit the entrance of MademOi-
sele Gallois into Russia. That would
hardly serve his purpose. 1t would
probably irritate the little actress into
more outspOken indiscreetness than
ever Perhaps the cars agents will
endeaVor to dissuade her by friendly
cautions and cOnsOlatory presents. We
shall see the crisis of this new inter-
national situation before long.
Germaine Gallois, who is thus raised
for moment on a pinnacle of fame, Is
Partisan beauty of the first order,
and has the reputation or having held
the attention of the gay bouIevardiers
for three years running. She has had
more princes of the blood and more
smart mobiles in her train than any 9TH
er woman of the modern Cythera. She
Is striking contrast to all the other
beauties of recent years, because she
smiles. French professional beauties
never smile, you know. 1t is one of
their arts to look sanity and sad, like
Merode, and Manon, and d'Alencon.
The beautiful GallOis alone dares to
smile. Her beauty IS so great that the
bouleVardiers can excuse her, although
they are noted for preferring the sad
eyed mOurnful women, who enthral
them and play the vampire to the
death. Germaine's photographs smife
at you from every shop on the boulu-
wards, and she capers and dances and
sings nightly at the light theaters OF
Paris. She is plump and creamy and
delicious to look upon. Her eyes are
blue and sweet, and her profile is al
most perfection. She is a feast Of rare
beauty, and her years are twenty-four
Her gowns are the talk of all Paris,
and she sets many a fashion through
her pretty fancies.
She won the beauty prize two years
ago and had at the time some very
famous beauties competing with her.
Her chief distinction, of course. comes
from the attention the young car paid
her. Every hour that could be spared
from official duties he spent in the
-0othing society of the fascinating Gal
lois his gifts TO her were truly I'M
peria1. One was a superb tiara Of
diamonds. In front was a miniature
model Of the }, 7perial crown of Russia.
An aigrette, sp21..- killed. with diamonds,
Eprang out of it, l, must have cos,
$4,000 at least Only u. car and the
ieweler know how much. Gallois had
the audacity to. have this he~ uple eX-
hibited In the jewelers. shop N the
boulevard with card attached b. ar
Ing this inscription:
Presented by His Imperial Majesty
the Car to Madem0iselle Germaine Gal
lois, of the Gymnase Theater." The
car must be very young to do such a
thing. He needs to take a few lessons
In discretion from his uncle, the Prince
of Wales. The Russian ambassador
In Paris, Baron Mohrenheim, was
aghast when he heard of the incident.
He called at the shop where the tiara
was displayed and sharply ordered it's
removal. It detracted considerably
