SECURE A DIVORCE
WOMAN WHO PARTED MARL'
B0ROUGHS BELOVED
Duke and Wife Reunited-"The Mod
ern MuddIe" Is Name Given to
Latest Society Gossip in
England
Special cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, June 15.-"The Modern
Muddle' is the name given to the very
latest bit of society gossip. which is all
about Americans, yet intensely inter
esting to London, for the man in it is
no other, so tits said, than the father
of the duchess of Marlborough.
The muddle comes in this way: w.
K. Vanderbilt, after being divorced by
his wife, married, as all know, that
charming and wealthy widow. Mrs.
Rutherford. The first Mrs. w. K. mar
ried o. H. P. Belmont, who is therefore
now the stepfather of the duchess of
Marlborough.
A near relative of his, absolutely one
of the most delightful Of American wo-
men, was introduced by him to his
step-daughter. A great friendship
sprang up between the two young
American women, and the duchess had
her new friend as a visitor for weeks
at time, both at Blenheim palace and
Sunderland house. They also stayed
together in Paris and on the Riviera.
All in One Party
But the duke of Marlborough, it is
said. could not resist the fascinations
of his wifes friend. And the duchess be-
came so monstrously jealous that the
trouble between the ducal couple re-
suited in the open breach known to the
public. The duchess and her friend
quarreled and each went her way.
w. K. Vanderbilt tried to heal the
breach between his daughter and the
duke, and thus came into much con-
tact with the beautiful erstwhile friend
Of the duchess. It is said he fell des-
perately in love with her.
Scene two opens on the Riviera W.
K. and his wife appeared at their villa
at Beaulieu. With them, as guest, came
Belmont. Some days later Mr.. and
Mrs. Belmont, accompanied by the
duchess Of Marlborough, appeared and
took up residence at their villa.
To the looker-on who knew some of
the inside facts most amazing condi-
tion of affairs began. The Vanderbilts,
Belmonts, the duchess and the fair un-
named, met, smiled and did everything
but embrace each other. They met on
motor trips, they dined in the same
restaurants, though at different tables,
and they met almost every evening at
Monte Carlo, and here at the same
table, gambled furiously. They all took
a thrilling interest in each other.
Duke Is Fascinated
It was strange that when the Riviera
! season ended they should all be found
in Paris frequenting the same hotel and
restaurants. But now in London they
have seemingly separated. and in more
senses than one Mr.. and Mrs. Van
derbilt have agreed to live a separate
life. 1t is said legal papers are to be
drawn up. He is very anxious that the
former Mrs. Rutherford should divorce
him, so that he can marry the fair un-
named American.
There is one rather good end to this
situation, and that is that 1t has
brought the duke and duchess of Marl-
borough within hailing distance again,

PLAYHOUSES LOSE
BY CLASS DISTINCTIONS
Special Gable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald
LONDON, June 15.-Marc Klaw, who
left yesterday for Paris, accompanied
by Ted D. Marks, thinks the London
theatrical season very dull and unin-
teresting from an artistic standpoint
THE theaters are suffering for two
causes" said Mr.. Klaw. zone is that
no effort is made to get at the so-called
middle class, which is really richer here
than in America; the other is the prices
charged for seats.
Il cannot see any reason in the world
why man should have to pay $2.62 for
an orchestra stall, when the man be-
hind him pays only 62 cents. The
former pays the extra 81 for class dis
tinction. This last kills anything
theatrical unless it be grand opera
In my opinion, the London theatrical
manager that would abolish the pit and
fight it out, giving half of his lower
floor for 81 and the other for 81, and
then put the pit crowd in the back
part Of the balcony at 81 cents, would
eventually make a lot of money.
lot course the pioneer would have
trouble at the start and great opposi-
ton. For that reason London should
have an association of managers, such
as we have in New York, which would
get behind any man who should be
willing to try the experiment for a year.
Another thing which initiates
against the patronage of the general
public is the question of dress. Men
come home tired from business, as they
do in America. If they and their wives
have to dress for a play they patron
ize the theater as seldom as possible.
II believe a smaller proportionate
number of people in London go to the
theater than in any other city in the
world"

BAN UPON GARMENTS
WARM KISS IN PARIS
special cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, June 15.--"Carmen'' and Car
mems kiss were blotted out of Miss
Olga Nethersoles repertory by decree
of Albert Carre, director of the Opera
Comique, and Miss Nethersole is dis
consolate in consequence, for Carmen
was her first fireat success in America,
and Garments kiss then became the
talk of the theater-going world.
Although M. Cares rights pertain to
Bizet's opera, with the libretto Of Nell
hac and Halevy, and Miss Nethersole's
stage version is a drama without mu-
sic founded upon the opera, the direc-
tor Of the Opera Comique holds that
the presentation of the play in Eng
lish would be an infringement of his
rights.
Injunctions therefore have been served
forbidding the visiting actress to ap-
pear in the part.
Miss Nethersole says she cannot un-
derstand NJ. Cares attitude, for she
has offered to pay all the royalties de-
nanded. At a final conference held
yesterday afternoon M. Carre was ada
inant, though very courteous, therefore
the two performances of Carmen
which Miss Nethersole had planned will
not be given. "Sappho" win take its
place

TWO CCNVICTS WHO LIKE
PRISON GET EXTRA TIME
Special Gable to The Herald.


GENEVA, June 15.-Grunder and
Gerber, the two convicts who made
such astonishing revelations concern
ing the luxurious life at the prison of
Thornburg, near Wassen, have been
sentenced to an additional two and
one-half years of penal servitude each
for escaping from the prison last
March.
The convicts were arrested at Kan
derstag after their escape, and it was
alleged that the prison discipline was
so lax that they were even allowed to
leave and resume their occupation as
burglars.
When arraigned in court Grunder
and Gerber told an amusing story of
their luxurious life in prison, which
was enlivened by frequent excursions
to cafes and other places of amuse-
ment at Wassen.
Grunder said that one convict, a
native of Fribourg, became so disgust
ed with the constant disputes between
the convicts, and sometimes even with
the warden regarding card games that
he simply '1eft' the prison because
he could not stand the cheating al
cards any longer.
When Grunder and Gerber grew
tired of prison life they walked into
a warden's room, BORROWED" $50 and
the warden's clothes, and went to
Wassen, where they discarded their
convict dress.
The convicts robbed a number OF
cafes and restaurants and then decid-
ed to cross the Gemni pass into the
canton of Valois. They were, how
ever, recognized by gendarme al
Kanderstag and were promptly ar
rested.
Both prisoners appeared to be very
proud of their exploits, and laughed
heartily when giving their testimony
as we'll as while sentence was being
imposed

QUEEN SAVES
ON DRESSES
ALEXANDRA WEARS FAV0RITE
GOWNS FREQUENTLY
She Defies Fashion-Has Hats Made
to Please Her and Is Particular
About Gloves-Does Not
Bow to Paris Fads
Special Gable to The Herald.

| Special Cable to The Herald.
| LONDON, June 15.-Queen Alexandra
| is perhaps the only royal woman who
wears her tailor-made dresses until
| they are worn out. Her economies
| have drawn the attention of the world
because she does not economize for
| lack of pin money, but because, as a
careful dresser, she has learned the
folly of wedding silk foundation to
heavy serge and homespun and other
practices of the worlds modistes and
her gowns have no weak spots.
AS princess of Wales, her majesty
spent far less on frocks and frills than
did many an American millionaire's s
wife, and at all times the queen has
practiced certain pet economies, one of
which was revealed to the world at
the time of the marriage of the pres
ent princess royal, when it became
known that the young princess had two
bodices made to each of her smart
afternoon frocks, one for day and one
for evening wear.
Does Not Bow to Paris
At a time when Paris had decreed
that large picture hats, to which were
added curtain-like wells, must be the
only wear, the future queen of England
was introducing the close fitting smart
sailor hat, her only other form of head
gear being the significantly named
Princesse bonnet, which. as first worn
by her majesty, was almost as simple
as the shape affected by the modern
| trained nurse.
Only comparatively lately has the
queen adopted the elaborate and becon-
| ing floral toque which has become so
universally worn both in London and
in Paris, and which owes it's success to
| the exquisite perfection of modern arti-
ficial blossoms.
The queens strong individual taste is
| strikingly shown in the matter of her
veils-they are generally of the pin sort
variety, though of late years, when
wearing a sailor hat, her majesty
sometimes affects the real lace fall
| which is believed by Frenchwomen to
preserve the complexion from the ef-
fects of wind and sun.
| The queen always wore white gloves
before they were as universally worn
| as they now are, and the splendid en-
broidered gauntlets worn by Edward
| WIS consort at the coronation were OF
| the finest white kid, worked in gold
thread, while In place of the tiny but
tons her majesty prefers her gloves
on this occasion only, were fastened
with gold cords drawn through eyelet
holes each cord terminating in a tiny
| gold tassel.
Most of the bullion frocks worn by
the queen are specially woven and en-
broidered to her order in India. In the
matter of sleeves, Queen Alexandra re-
| mains faithful to the graceful model
which follows the lines Of the ARM and
she always prefers tight fitting Jacket
to any form of loose hanging cloak or
cape.
! On the other hand, her majesty was

coming qualities of the boa or stole
and when in town she rarely appears
in public without some such addition
to her costume.

AUTOS FOR GUESTS NEW
PARIS HOTEL FEATURE
Special Gable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
PARIS, June 15.-To satisfy the de-
mands of American visitors for the best
that money can provide, regardless of
expense, plans have been drawn up for
palatial hotel to be erectel in the
Place de la Concorde. In size, complete
ness of equipment and beauty of design,
it will far surpass any of the present
caravansaries in the gay city. The
extent to which the long purse will be
catered for may be inferred from the
fact that an automobile will be placed
at the disposal of every guest, for which
an inclusive charge will be made. This,
the promoters of the scheme flatter
themselves, is going ''one better" than
anything provided by American hotels.
The annually increasing influx of
Americans has greatly stimulated the
erection of hotels. New ones are going
up lin all directions. One opens this
week. 1t is the rebuilt Meurice, and
occupies a commanding site in the Rue
de Rivoli, overlooking the gardens of
Tuileries. Another big hotel the Ma
jestic, which is nearing completion, will
have fifty bedrooms. Its site has a
topical interest; 1t was here that Queen
Isabelle of Spain lived after her dra-
matte exit from the scene of actual
sovereignty. In this same neighborhood
of the Champs Elysees another great
house of entertainment for the way
farer is springing skyward. 1t has
been named the Astoria, though 1t has
no connection with the Waldorf Astoria
of New York. Several other hotels are
projected. One is a big annex to the
Petersburg There is talk, Also of a
mammoth establishment on the boule-
wards in proximity to the Credit Lyon
nais and the Place de rOpera.
Notwithstanding all this activity,
there seems little likelihood of the city
being overhoteled. AT present, though
only the advance guard of the Ameri-
can summer migrants has appeared,
the hotels are chock full. A newly we'd
ded pair, blissfully ignorant of the state
of affairs, drove up to the Grand hotel
the other day and four other hotels in
succession before they could find the
least accommodation. An American
acquaintance who sought to engage
eleven rooms for a transatlantic party
who proposed coming to Paris in the
third week in June, found his quest a
hopeless one at all the leading hotels.
All their rooms are booked already for
weeks ahead.
There is no need of an American
entente cordiale with France. Ameri-
can dollars long ago rendered it super
fiuous. A French shopkeeper who
boasts the sign English Spoken" said
to me the other day: Where ze John
Bull spend francs re Uncle Sam spend
10. like re John Bull, but 1 adore re
Uncle Sam
