ny VANCE THOMPSON.
Paris. April o.-rhe young and
beautiful semi-American girl. Misa
Daisy Decazes, on the occasion of hnr
marriage to Prince liean de Broglie
will have trousseau and wedding
gifts such as have not been seen In
Paris since tho days OF the empire.
Miss Decazes. who has fixed tho
month of roses for her wedding. is
the daughter OF the Duke and Duchess
Decazcs. Her mother was Miss
Singer. and she liz nieco OF tho
Princess Edouard do PoIignac. for
merly Miss Winetta Singer. Princess
Galiika. daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles sing. Ia her first cousin. She
has six uncles on tho Singer side of
the house. As there arc numerous
Decazes and still moro numerous De
Broglies. and as Miss Daisy Will have
TO dine with them all before the we'd
ding day, the beauty doctors have
taken her in hand and have warned
her against damaging her Dlana-liks
figure.
Already the big round of dinners
has been commenced BY a spread given
by Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Singer.
The fame and fortune of the Decazes
date from King Louis. A Decazes was
the Kings Prime Minister. and he
was such II favorite With the King
that he was thought to be His
Majesty's son At all events King
Louis gave Decazas the opportunity
OF amassing colossal fortune. 4
grandfather of Miss Daisy was also
n Prime Ministers, but under Louis
Philippe. To the credit of Prime Min
lister dc Broglie may II be said that
he was an advanced Liberal. which
meant much in the days OF the Citizen
King.
A brother of Prince Robert
The De Broglies are an old italian
! family. Marshal de Broglie won his
spurs under Louis XIV. Prince Jean de
Broglle is member Of the Jockey
Club. The Circle. the Hoche Sporting
Club. the Union Club. the Automobile
Club, the Sporting Societe OF the Isle
/ of Puteaux, and of the Yacht Club OF
France. He is a brother of Prince
Robert de Brogllc. who married Es-
/ telle Alexander. the California singer.
| His mother was Miss Say, sister-in-
| law of Madame Henri Say. The young
! couple Will reside in the Chateau dc
| Chaumont, on the banks of the Loiro
| between Tours and Biloxi.
This historic chateau was built by
| Catherine de Medici, and was pre-
| scented to Marshal dc Broslie by Louis
| XIV. The chateau Is also famous from
| the fact that Catherine de Medici, wife
| of Henry IL, gave II in exchange for
| the Chateau OF Chenanceau TO Diane
| de Poitiers, the Kings favorite. The
! exchange OF chateaux between the
! Kings widow and the ing's favorita
| is frequently referred TO by historical
| moralists as an illustration of the
| free and easy life of ancient royal
| houses. After the death of the beau
| tiful Diano the Chateau de Chaumont
| reverted to the crown. and now 1t falls
| into the hands OF this semi-American
| girl.
The Chateau dc Chenanceaal also be-
| longs to an American chatelaine,
| Countess Stanislaus de Castellane, for
| merly Miss Terry. The trousseau OF
4 Miss Decazes equals in magniicence
| and has been compared to that of Prin-
| cess Marie Bonaparte. who married
| the Crown Prince OF Greece, but she
has firmly refused to exhibit 1t. as did
| the Bonaparte princess.
| Louis DORIS Experience.
Louis Dorr. proprietor of the Louis
Bar" Is bemoaning betrayed con-
| fidence.
For the last eight or ten years
Louis has been the patron saint OF
! Cosseshall Macy, q prominent young
| New Yorker. whose dinners and en-
! tertainments won him international
renown among the denizens OF Vaga-
! bondia. Apparently this young mans
money bags We're bottomless. for all
! the boulevardiers remember with much
satisfaction the stag parties which he
gave.
This year Macy appeared in Paris
! broke. II was the usual temporary
1 thing. the kind that has been worn
! threadbare by over usage. He went to
! Louis and borrowed sufficient to pay
cabfare, and at his hotel wined
! and dined his friends ut Louis's ex-
! pense. He borrowed more money and
lao, t,fv n YNrN tee "a
/. of nearly $1,000 with Louis to be coll
lected In New York.
Louis put the note In circulation.
and last week 1t came back protested.
! with nice little bill of costs added
on. and tho information that the young
man in question had long since come
to tho end of his tether.
