atinsky, a member OF a proud Russian
family, with whom she ran away last
April. The news that a ceremonial
wedding has occurred astounds the
boulevards.
The Prince has for a father-in-law a
newspaper pedler on the boulveards
His mother-in-law Is a washerwoman
poor and honest, but very unpresent-
able and vulgar. He is delighted. how
ever I'm his luck in securing their
charming daughter and feels, at any
rate at this moment, most amiably to-
ward his parents-in-law.
The marriage was hastened by the
fact that the profigate Prince Henri
dOrleans was puSsuing the woman
with such fervor that she was forced TO
accept one admirer or the other. Be-
tween the two princes she chose the one
who offered her marriage.

greatest OF which is beauty.

Their wooirg lasted many months.
The Prince had rivals by the score. He
loaded the singer with jewels and pres.

The Prince and Princess are spending
an idyllic honeymoon. liz is not likely
that the bride Will return to the stage,
though IL is not clear how the noble
man is situated financially. His family
are furious at the marriage. and the
Prince may not take his plebeian wife
