Women and w hat
They Are Doing

MRs. CARRIE CALVERT of Brook
U lyn is probably the holder of the
A'A worlds record as the meanest
living married woman. One day last
week she met her husband at the train
and when he allghted from the car
steps she threw her arms around him
and then q whole squad of policemen
rushed up and pinched the poor fellow
for desertion. Think of 1t! If her hus-
band had deserved anything like that
she might have been excused, but the
only thing he had done was to run Off
and leave her after they were married
a few days. He had been gone about
year, 1t is true, and being careless. like
all husbands, had forgotten to write
home and tell his wife where he was,
but to be hugged and pinched is GER
tainly too much punishment for such
small crime as that. Mrs. Calvert
learned where he was by some means.
just as If she had right to know, and
wrote him loving letters to lure him
back home. Faithful and trusting hus-
band that he was, he complied with
her wishes and returned. Then Mrs.
Calvert hugged him as the high sign
for the cops. 1t is to be rejoiced that
such treacherous women exist only in
the far east. -
Princess Juliana Louise Emma Marie
Wilhelmina of Holland is 1 year old.
However, she deserves a position In the
parade of notables, by virtue OF the
length of her name II for no other rea-
son. The celebration of the blrtnday
of the little princess was one OF the
features of the entertainment of Col.
Roosevelt during his recent visit in
Holland. Every man, woman and child
in Holland wore a daisy, the name
flower of Juliana plus, on the BABY
birthday, and Col. Roosevelt recognized
the event in the same manner. Inc
birthday was among the first that
Juliana plus had experienced, and 1t
Is given out that she was much de-
lighted with the feeling.
Chorus girls of As (age) are to be
seen in every front row. 1t is impos-
sible to get them all in the back row,
SO some of them are necessarily
crowded out into plain view. An
actress, yet alive and frisky at 70, how
ever is a rarity, it must be admitted:
Berlin boasts of a stage favor1te 10
years old who delights her audiences
nightly by her irresistibly funny act
ing. She is Frau Schramm. On occa,
sion. the news comes, she hops and
dances with grace and verve. On the
stage, when made up, she could pass
for 30 or less. This is another remark
able thing. What back row American
chorus girl can pass for 30?
Frau Schramm celebrated her
seyenty-fifth birthday recently. the
kaiser wired saying that he remem,
bered with gratitude many dellght1ul
hours watching her play. The empress
also. All the kaiser's sons sent her en-
thusiastic kilograms. 1t was all right
for the father, why not for the sons!
From the length and breadth of Ger

one would have to look several Gays
in this country to find great huihper
of chorus girls over 6O.

The daughter of Piermont Morgan

The Princess del Drago, SO7 Fifth ave-

her return to the United States last

the sight, and guests at the waldorf

husband of the princess was August
Schmid, who left her the brewery, the
Lion. The name of the former husband
makes the story seem possible.

fourth son of Prince Philip, head of the
Roman house of Del Drago. His rather
