New York, Sept. E.-The journal IN
special correspondence says: The Car OF
Russia IS somewhat alarmed by the pro-
posed visit of Mademoiselle Germaine
Cal1oise. a French actress and beauty, to
ST. Petersburg.
When ne made his famous visit to Paris
he admired Mademoiselle Gallois very
much. He gave her a magnificent dla-
Qaond tiara. She proved very indiscreet
she exhibited the tiara in a shop win ow
She boasted Of his Imperial Majesty's at
5entions.
Now the Car fears that her visit will
create scandal which might even reach
the ears of theCzarina. OF course ne
could prohibit her entry into Russia, but
that would probably make her talk even
more indiscreetly, and at once dignity her
with undue importance.
Nicholas II, Gar of all Russia, is pri-
vately much distressed and embarrassed
by the behavior Of a little French actress.
Her behavior threatens to bring down
on His Majesty the wrath of the Czarina.
Isn't that enough TO worry an autocrat?
Mademoiselle Germaine Gallois is one
of the reigning professional beauties Of
Poris. The Car made her reputation.
She captivated him during his stay in
Paris He was 50 indiscreet 'as to give
her several tangible proofs Of his regard
N the form of splendid jewels.
Now Germaine announces her intention
rf paying professional visit TO St. Peters
burg She wisely judges that her previous
acquaintance with the Car vii lend eclat
10 this visit.
His Majesty is greatly perturbed. How
shall me prevent the scandal which the
coming Of Germaine will create? She IS
sure to mingle in the society of the young
noblemen and officers OF the Cars court.
Judging by her past fndiscreetness, she
IS equally sure to boast of the Cars
favors TO her. The censorship which is
60 effective over newspapers does not en-
tirely control the hunsan tongue.
The Car is a well-meaning young mon
arch. 1t was only a mild indiscretion in
(which he was driven by the intolerable
boredom Of his Parsian visit. He was
very anxious that it should not cause
yexation to the Czarina.
OF course the Car can prohibit the ent-
rance Of Mademoiselle Gallois into Rus
sia. That would hardly serve his purpose.
it would probably irritate the little ac-
tress into more outspoken indiscreetness
Gaan ever. Perhaps the Cars agents will
ondeayor TO dissuade her by friendly eau
tons and consolatory presents. We shall
see the crisis of this new international
situation before long.
Germaine Gallois, who is thus raised for
Z. momtnt on a pinnacle of fame, is
Parsian beauty Of the first order. and has
che reputation of having held the atten-
ton Of the gay boulevadiers for three
years running She has had more princes

GermIne's photographs smile at you
from every shop on the boulevards and
she capers and dances and sings nightly
"a the light theatres Of Paris.
She is plump and creamy and delicious
TO look upon. Her eyes are blue and
sweet and her profile is almost perfection.
she is a feast OF rare beauty. and her
years are twenty-four. Her gowns are

she Won the beauty prize two years ago.
and had at the time she very famous
beauties competing with her.
Her chief distinction. OF course. comes
from the attention the young Car paid
