of these have already been disposed OF.
Baron Hermann was only second son,
but he came into the bulk Of his father 8
estate, as his elder brother was cut of
with a comparatively small fortune for
having married an actress. In the hope OF
breaking into the most exclusive circles OF
Austrian society the baron embarked upon
a most extravagant career. He entertained
lavishly, maintained costly racing stable
and at the Vienna Jockey Club lost large
sums of money at cards to his aristocratic
companions. He won the Austrian derby
twice. and always backed his horses heav-
lily
After all, ne can have had very little
satisfaction from it. For the Austrian
,er;sfpcracy is the most exclusive OF the
world and looks down with the utmost
scorn upon all interlopers, however
wealthy they may be, and especially
when they chance to be Jews. The no
bles would win the baren's money, but
they wouldn't ask him to meet their
women folk. His marriage also proved
very costly affair. To please his wife,

the faith of his forefathers and became
a Roman Catholic. And for this, under

To me women are not divided into the

less good, but rather into clean and less
clean. Anything that is not in the clean
class L have no patience with. To me the
Kingdom of soapsuds is the ante-chamber
or the Kingdom of heaven, and / am
thankful to think that more and more
women are gathering in that chamber but
even yet, as one of the big medical prac-

prime cause Of all skin troubles, and the
woman who Is scrupulously clean need
never rear for her complexion or for hep
health, as when she comes in contact with
contagious diseases, for instance"
The woman who has used a compleSion
brush and used it correctly realizes that
her face has never been clean before You

From Munich also come frequent stories
Of heavy losses at the gaming table on the
part of aristocratic ''punters." The latest
card scandal from the Bavarian capital Is
one Of the worst on record and Is said to
involve one royal prince, two dukes, about
twenty counts and many lesser members or
the nobility. The scene Of the gambling
which led up to this scandal is fashion
able resort at Munich on exactly the lines
Of the Vienna Jockey Club. Night after
night gambling proceeds there to a reckless
extent, and, as In the Austrian capital
enormous sums are won and lost daily be-
tween the hours Of midnight and 6 in the
morning.
Their heavy losses at this club have ruin
ed many promising young officers of the
Bavarian army, as well as numerous young
noblemen and members Of the civil service
Some Of these, unwilling to face the dis
grace Of not paying debts incurred at the
card tables, resorted to all sorts Of frauds
to secure sufficient funds to enable them to
continue their membership In the club.
Others took their own lives to escape the
consequences Of their recklessness. The
most distinguished of the suicides Is Count
Max Preysing who was faced with gam
bling debts exceeding $4,000.
The royal prince implicated in the latest
Munich scandal Is Francis Joseph Of Ba-
varia, whose name was forged to promis-
sorry notes by several officers, who thus OBJ
tanned large sums Of money by fraud. Other
harassed members resorted to systematic
card sharping in order to fleece inexpe-
rienced players One young infantry cap
tain has been arrested in connection with
the scandal, but the exact charge against
him has not yet been made public.
