20 shillings than for a sovereign.
Now, whether or NOT an unmarried
woman really prefers 20 shllllngs to
sovereign it is generally possible for her,
in this day and generation, to have them.
She does not have one man to love and
cherish her; but she may have the friend
ship the cordial esteem and interest of
half a dozen. She does not have one to
pay her dres1maker. her halter, her shoe
man and the rest; but she may have half

score who send her books, flowers tickets,
who walk. play golf, drive. skate. talk

for the deep understanding OF his needs;

strange story about Clara Ward, the
daughter of deceased Detroit million
aire, who married and was divorced from
the Prince de Chimay, and, whose es-
capades and marriage with and subse-
quent divorce from a violinist named
Rigo caused an immense amount of gos-

Mrs. Martins published story is that
one Of the two children whom the prince
has had in his custody is not the child of
the princess, but of a poor Irish woman.

Chimay.
Mrs. Martin is quoted as saying that
her home in Oakland is guarded day and
night by two Filipinos and that though
the Ward relatives are bound to foil her
purpose, she is determined that the sup
posed son of the princess shall get his
rights.
Thomas r. Lyons, executor of the
Ward estate and uncle of Clara, says he
has known of Mrs Martins story and
that 1t is absolutely false. He added that
his niece is living In Italy with her hus-
band, Giuseppe Ricarta, and that the
children of the prince are with him in
Belgium. He says Mrs. Martin has fire.
