burg cab, Prince DolgorulSl who is a
stevedore, or a Princess Galatgin in a
fourth-rate circus.
A Dolgoruli ancestor was once king
of Russia, and the Galatzin and Krap-
otl5ine families are among its most
honorable and ancient Occasionally
"zakhndaly kniaz" has fallen so low
that he is but peasant, and thus
minus the title of noble that is given
to the educated subjects of the car.
This Russian disregard of primogen-
iture observance, which does so much
to keep the English peerage up to the
standard. obtains also in Germany.
Certain immunities and privileges, be-
sides the satisfaction of defined prece-
dence, make the English lord
marked and envied person. Most Ger
man and Prussian mobiles are devoid Of
extra privilege, and their children all
bear the titles of their fathers.
The house of Hatzfeldt is one OF the
fairly numerous exceptions, The heir
of Prince Alfred, present head of one
branch, is Prince Francis, whose wife
was the adopted daughter of the late
Coils p. Huntington. On the other
hand, the late ambassador to Germany
was only Count Hatzfeldt. His case
was particularly interesting because
he had a genuine love affair with an
American woman, Miss Helen Moul-
ton, of Albany. He married her in
1863, and was forced to separate from
her by Prince Bismarck, who made 1t
a rule never to allow a German diplo-
mat to marry a foreigner. The sepa-
ration lasted until Bismarck went out
Of power when the two promptly re-
married.

French Ducal System.

There are dues in France, but their
only value is as contributors to the
governments income, by the sarcas-
tically graded scale that puts more of
price on them the farther up
they go. One exception may be made
to this general rule, for the royalists
still hold levees, and to them title
is instinct with meaning and dignity
The fourth Due de Dino, who unsuc-
cessfully INDUCED his prediction
for American wives on two occasions,
would be entitled to enter this society,
and either she who was born Eliza
beth Curtis of New York or the pre-
viously divorced wife of Frederick
w. Livingston could have accompan-
led him during their reigns over a
heart whose unhappiness became
rather we'll known at divorce court
The royalist society constitutes the
worth of French title, but only two
per cent. of all titles of La Belle
Paris and elsewhere in France are
legitimate. The others are jokes.

and lust as true, even to the second
generation.
The Princess Royal, for instance,
who is married to the duke of Fife, has
two daughters. While the princess is
her royal highness, her daughters are
only their highnesses, but are, never
theless, prinoesses. When they grow
up and marry, their children will not
be princes or princesses unless they
marry royalty.
The blood of England's royal family
carries with it the title of prince only
to the second generation. That Is
worlds away, in point of dignity, from
cab-driving Russians OF princely Gar
mans. whose dignity rests on the
chance that they are heads of families.

Boston.-"Some titles are bad and
no good titles" sarcastic American
father is said to have exclaimed
apropos of the marriage of relative
to foreign nobleman.
He was not altogether right, nor
was he altogether wrong. The Old
World is flooded with titles, good, bad
and Indifferent. The bad and the in
different greatly outnumber the good.
American girls have some of the good,
possibly more of the bad, and, per-
haps, still more of the Indifferent.
There is heraldry Office in London
that spends all it's time Strengthening
out the kinks in the peerage. With
some 500 American women married to
foreigners, duly handled as to their
names, some of the freaks of aristoc-
racys rating are apropos.
In America it is self-evident-
though some children disprove it
that parent is superior to the child.
Yet an American woman is on record
to disprove the fact. The late widow
of Isaac M. Singer married a sol
disant Due de Camposelice and later
M. Paul Sohege, plain Frenchman.
But her daughter is Duchesse Decazes
among the French aristocracy, and
Duchesse de Gluecksburg in the high
lights of Denmark. If it isn't a case
of daughter out-distancing the moth
er, 1t is the nearest approach to the
condition.
Some of these daughters have be-
come duchesses Of England, prin-
cesses of Russia, duchesses of France,
principessae of Italy, duquesas of
Spain or Portugal, and still sothers
have obtained titles of the Holy
Roman Empire and papal titles by
marriage. There are said to be about
500 of them all told, but how do they
rank among each other? Where in
the scale of high-sounding handles to
matrimonially acquired surnames doth
rank Lady Tennessee Clafiin Cook,
who is the widow of AN English baro-
net, and who, through him, is Wis
countess Montserratin in the peerage
of Portugal? And why does not she
employ the higher Portuguese title in
stead of the inferior English one?

Peculiarities of Peerases.

The truth is that peerages are now
worthy of but half respect. Only two
of them are really to be very serious
ly taken, the English and the dignities
confined to the mediatized Teutonic
families And the latter of these is
not open to American ambitions, as
Miss Mary Wister Wheeler of Phila-
delphia discovered in 1890, when she
was married to Count Macmillan Pap
penheim, of that ilk, and learned,
when Berlin heard of the event. that
she could never be more than a NOR
ganatic wife.
Recently it ,transpired that English
titles are not always exactly what
they seem. 1t came out that one peer-
age was obtained by the typicallv
American practice of contributing to
a political campaign fund. It took
$1,250,000 in that case to make a
baron of the United Kingdom. and at
the. same time $150,000 was required
to secure a knighthood that labors
under the disadvantage of not being
heritable. Scandal aside, however.
the British peerage is the best of its
kind. An American girl looking for
foreign honors can better realize her
ambition in marrying a mere English
baronet than by contracting half a

Many Times a Duchess.

There is one American woman who
Is duchess on four commonplace
counts. This is the Duchesse de Dino,
who is the same of Talleyrand-Peri
CORD and of Valencay in France, and
Prussian duchess of Sagan.
Titles in Italy date back long time,
and had their origin in the times when
there were free cities, each of which
had its own collection of nobility. The
title of prince there is not awe-inspir-
ing, and the others of lower grade fall
far short of honor. The Italian equiv

your ancestry, determine your heraldic
bearings and include a history of your
origin in it's next edition for nominal

The vatican grants titles. The par
venus work so hard getting titles unto
themselves that really respectable no.
bility have got out of the habit of
using their legitimate ones. Prince
Ferdinand Colonna married Miss Eva
Bryant Mackay, but in that family the
title is disregarded They consider it
really more aristocratic to call each
other simply Don" and Donna" The
Rospigliosi and Ruspolin families,
which together number nearly dozen
American women among their wives,
are as aristocratic and as particular.
Long String of Honors.
Yet even persons with the plain
name of John Smith will very likely
admit that Don francesca Rospigliosi

Czaykowski is Turkish diplomat, but

Edith Collins, of New York, was the

Boston is not wonderfully we'll rep

Boston girls of this description Is the
countess Of Edla, who. on June 10,
1869, married the late king consort of
Portugal, Ferdinand. She was Miss
Elsie Hensler, and received the NOR
ganatic dignity Of Countess Edla,
which she still bears.

The curiosities that have grown up
around the matter of nobility would
fill volume. In England, where the
heraldry office is more than 1t is else
where, the technicalities are best OBJ
served.
There is the matter of the courtesy
title, for instance. There is Baron Will
loughby d'Eresby, who is married to
Miss Elroise Breese, of New York, and
who isn't a baron at all. He Is SIM
ply eldest son of the earl of Ancaster,
who has more than one extra title that
Is inferior to his own of earl. His ia

as the marquis of Blanford by the
same courtesy.

She who was Miss Gertrude Violet

In all except the mediatized fami-

there are women to represent the

Even at Constantinople, where you

the lower grades dirt cheap, there is
one of our women. She has had the

Her husband was, till few months
