 MT Lyon asked that this step be taken and in doing so he was joined by the princess. She formally admitted that her uncle was righC-that she was incompetent to have jurisdiction over her own monetary affairs
 Queer wonan-this Princess de Chi may. Clara de Ricuet she is now, the wife Of a gypsy musician. Beautiful as poets dream. gracious as a novelist'5 queen. brilliant as a springtiTne sun and as eXtravagant as Elizabeth and cratic as Cleopatra.
 She was Clara Ward twelve years ago-at the time when she was the toast of all Europe because of her beauty her wit and her riches. Then she married-married a Belgian prince who had noble name and an ignoble reputation. Mime. Grundy-who talks much and sometimes talks truly-r0ilel her eyes wisely and whispered behind her fan. ''I4ackadayl The American princess will not be happy! For they do say"
 And verify the American princess was not happy. Her frie.1s-very loyal persons. her frie3ds-say the fault was her husbands. First, he was fourteen years her senior, and his ideas of life were not hers. They say he tired of his beautiful pride before inc money moon had fully waned. Thy say he sought variety. And they saY that hr was urgraciC,Is. cruel aGd-Which is the worst offerse in q wCman's eyes indifferent. 'T!!ey say that there was 10 lCva for the American princess in the heart Of this Belgian pri1ce-not even after her daughter was born yc1r after their marriage. nor even ar- fer her son, born two years later. be- gan to blink his wondrous eyes at the funny things If this big world.
 They say these things. but perhaps they gre not all true. Perhaps the fault was rot all with the man. de- spite that horribly Conde,nring thing. lis previous reputation. But that is by-the-bye. Whatsoever the fault. the princess grew boldly reckless. She be- came madiy eXtray agant and her gen erous income went on rapic wings. Two million dollars had been her marriage dot-$2, ,oGo,o9o of sound American ;.lo.ey.
 2c-r, It was gone with tie bead of the sparkling champagne and with the sheen and the crinble of the fine silks and s2tirs.
  still q beautiful princess, with com pleHion of down and roses, features as daintily chiseled as though the hand ot an cid Greek master had carved them and @ form which told of Venus in its round symmetry and of Diana in it's wo1droUs grace-people said the p"in- cess was mad.

 And then the prince who was the husband of the princess killed q prince who was-not her husband. Prince | Baldwin Of Belgium he was-hand- some. dashir.g, warm blooded. The avenger follows such men when theI meet women who are beautiful and married lovelessly.
 To Belgium there came a gypsy 1 hunchback. swarthy, small oe stature weak of body They said his name was i Rigo-Jancsi Riso. And with him he | brought a violin-a thing Of wood and strings and nothing else until the ! gypsy drew his bow across it.
 They tell of angel songs and of music that pictures the heart and it's pas sions; of strains that carry the ca Gence of the ripping brook end follow t through meadow and mountain ara marsh to the sea; of measures that mark the stages of the soul from Dir, h to passage into it's eternity: cf tones that thrill with their echo of battle and storm. that wall with the lest and shout with the saved. that cheer with the victor and weep with the van qTished. that run the gamut of human hope and mortal accomplishment, that burn their way through class and con veHtionality, to warm. mayhap to scar, the very heart of the listener.
 It was such music that the hunch- back gypsy drew from his violin-nusic that caught the ear, the fancy and the tickle heart Of the American princess; that whispered to her and capture her
 So, one day Mme. Grundy had ] choice morsel to tell-the American princess had deserted husband and children and gore away!
