In ST. Petersburg on q visit to her I'M
Gle, Robert s. Mccormick, then ambas-
sador from the United States to Rus
STA. There she met Count Gizycki, a
man twice her age, with reputation
as spendthrift and rake. s
The following year Count Gizych
came to Washington and renewed his
acquaintance with Miss Patterson. His
wooing was fast and furious and the
girl was carried away by his polished
manner and the glitter of his title
Despite all objection, in two weeks she
married him. Her mother settled $780,
600 year upon her and she and the
count went to Vienna. Then the trou-
BILE began. The counts extravaganza
and gambling habits at the Austrian
capital plunged him deeper in debt
than before, and because of his dissi-
patiOns he became the mock of Eu-
rope.
In March, 1908, came the crisis. The
countess taxed her husband with his
wild habits and the nobleman knocked
her down with his fist. They separat-
ed and she went to London with her
baby, the Countess Felicia, beginning
an action for divorce in Paris, suit
which ultimately she won. In April,
1908, in connection with her suit, she
crossed from London to Paris, Ieav-
ing the baby countess in charge of a
nurse just outside the British capital
In the hope of stopping the suit for
divorce and Of forcing more money
from his wife, the count made a rush
trip to England, stole the baby and
carried her to Vienna, where he se-
creted her in one of his castles just
outside the city. The countess was
frantic over the loss of the child and
employed detectives by the score to
trace the baby. Once Felicia was To-
Gated the authorities interposed so
many barriers against the mother that
the count had ample time to carry the
little countess to a castle near st. Pc
tersburg.
Meanwhile Joseph Medill Mccormick
and another member of the Patterson
and Mccormick families were bringing
every influence to bear on the courts
of France and Russia to recover Fe-
licia legally. 1t was not until a secret
compact, which never has been clearly
explained, was entered into with the
Gear, mainly through the work Of for
mer Ambassador Mccormick. that an
imperial decree compelled the count to
give up the custody of the girl. After
recovering her daughter the countess
hurried to Cherbourg and sailed for
New York City. From New York the
party hurried on to Chicago, where the
Countess Gizycki and the little Coun-
tess Felicia will reside IN future.

when delicate perfumes were extract
ed from kerosene. Until recently no
one had an idea the Standard OIL had
designs against the butter and the
oleomargarine industries. 1t is pre-
dicted confidently that within year
the only butter on sale in the Ameri-
can market will bear the Standard
Oil label. and that petroleum butter
also will be an active and aggressive
competitor with creamery butter for
supremacy in the foreign markets.
Since the new process was discov-
cred every precaution possible has
been taken by the Standard Oil Off
Gals to prevent the secret leaking. 1t
was only by accident it became public.
The story, which comes from Bayonne,
is that the chemists and Standard Oil
officials were SO elated by the discov-
cry that they made eight pounds of
the butter and put 1t in box to be
shipped to John D. Rockefeller. When
1t came to making out the express slip,
the term Petroleum Butter" was used
That led to inquiries which finally
elected the information that the
Rockefeller corporation is going into
the buttermaking business. Nor did it
end with that. Assertion also was
made that the chemists, in the steps
leading up to the petroleum butter
discovery, also have perfected a cheap
process by which they can convert the
kerosene into sweet milk, with larger
percentage of butter fat than cows
milk possesses. By running the petrol
cum milk through separators of high
speed all the butter fat, or cream, is
extracted. That leaves the tanks Of
the separators filled with rich and
wholesome self-pasteurized buttermilk.
If that is true, the butter, cream, sweet
milk, buttermi1k and cottage cheese
markets soon will be dominated by the
Standard Oil.

The rounded end was introduced from
France in a curious way. It happened
to entertain at his table a certain Chan
cellor Sequier, vulgar and unmanner--
ly man, who at the close of the, meal
This vulgar act so upset the cardinal
that he ordered the end Of every knife
in his possession to be rounded, and so
