FAME SPO|LS LOVE
STORY OF PRINCESS
Isadore de Lara, the Italian, Com
poser, Forgets Woman Who
Discovered" Him

tween the music-loving princess OF
Monaco, formerly Miss Alice Heine,
CT New Orleans. and Isadore de Lara,
the talented composer, is now COM
plete, says Marquis de Castellane In
cable 10 the New York American.
Many thought that the princess once
divorced from Prince Albert OF Monaco
would marry the fascinating Italian.
For II was she who really discovered
him and was the first to appreciate
his great genius. HE Is another Wag-
ner," she often said. Such was the
praise bestowed upon the composer by
the princess, who presided over the
fantastic kingdom OF Monaco.
And de Lara has justified her opin-
ion OF him. He has won fame and
fortune and returned to the scenes or
his early musical triumphs. The
whole Riviera is enthusiastically
awaiting the production Of his operas
-"Messaline," Amy Robsart" and
the Awakening of Buddha."
But In the struggle for fame the
light Of love seems to have faded from
the composers eyes. His music VIII
never again I'LL the spacious halls of
the marble palace OF Monaco. for the
princess is gone and love has died
and there only remains the
laurel wreath. De Lara is famous.
Theater Hat Problem Solved.
From the fashionable resort OF AK
es-Bains comes what seems to be So
luton Of the perplexed theater hat
question. II is very simple.
The women are separated into two
classes; those who wear hats and
those who do not. Hatless women go
to the right, hat-wearing women to the
left. There they enjoy trying TO see
the stage over the mountainous peaks
OF flowers and feathers Of birds OF
their own kind.
This really seems to me to be bril-
liant idea, and 1t Is whispered that no
less a parsonage than ]. Pierpont Nor.
gan is responsible for 1t. heartily
him, and so will every
one else.
George Clemenceau Is SO. But his
age does not prevent him from making
a lecture tour throughout America.
he will lecture in Eng
lish. His four years residence In
the United States made him quite pro.
ficient in TIE language. He has not
forgotten 1t, owing to the fact OF hav-
ing married an American. Miss Mary
Plummer.
AS that was 40 years ago he has had
excellent practice. The ex-prime min,
lister had q lively interview with exc
President Rooseveit f0rfng- stiTy--iat-
ter's sojourn in Paris, He did not APP
prove President Roosevelt's lecture at
the Sorbonne. This lecture had more
truth than poetry In 1t. Frenchmen
like poetry best.
Roosevelt told us we did not have
enough children. He told US also we
did not know the meaning OF liberty,
and we don't He told us he endorsed
the Ten Commandments, and we APP
plauded just as though the Ten Com
needed endorsement
Suppose Clemenceau were to go
lecturing Americans on their ma
tional vices? Will you listen as po-
litely and applaud as enthusiastically
as we did at the Sorbonne? | doubt 1t.

Thanks to the artistic beauty OF his
beautiful portrait OF Mrs. William Ell
lis Corey, the fortune Of the painter,
Jules Cayron, is made. Mrs. Corey's
portrait | do not think has been ex-
hibited. 1t was seen by many distin-
guished people while hanging on the
walls OF the artists studio. The re.
suit is Cayron has been literally bonn
barded by beautiful American and
French ladies for portraits.
Among these | may mention the
Countess Odon de Lubersac, formerly
Miss Livermore, of Boston. Cayron
has made also a great success OF her
portrait. II shows above all the quiet
elegance and distinction that charac-
terize the American countess.
