Princess Hazel Singer, of Chicago,
Princess Lane de Pougy, of the Paris
Three Ghikas, and
Europe's Royal Fat Boy Scramble for
the New Crown of Wild Albania

ing from country which cannot ba re any
designs OF taking territory in Albania. His
uncle, George was chosen King OF Greece for
similar reason He is twenty-six years old
and unmarried.
Now, as to the Ghikas Prince Jean Ghika
married Miss Hazel Singer. daughter of
Charles J. Singer, of Chicago. and a member
of the Singer sewing machine family. many
of whom have married into the French aris-
t0cracy The Singers, of course have many
millions 1t Is understood that the former
Miss Singer would enjoy the sensation of
being a regular royal queen, and is spending
her millions freely for that purpose.
Prince Jean has had an interesting career.
Before he married Miss Singer he had
hnahced comic opera company of which
Miss Della Rogers, of Denver was the star.
Then there is Ghika No .. He is Prince
George Ghika. Three years ago che Prince. IN
a thoughtess moment married Mademoselle
Lame de Pougy, who had been q familiar
figure to the bouevardiers OF Paris for many
years. Mademoiselle Lame has appeared at
the Folies Bergere and done all sorts of
things that princess is not expected to do.
Just before her husband was talked Of as
occupant of the Albanian throne, the
Princess Laue had made series Of clever
sketches representing the Turks, Bugarians,
Albanians and other participants in the
present war A few OF these which are fit
for publication. are enclosed herewith.
The sketches are not at all hattering to
the Albanians. The rival claimants to the
throne have bought up large number of
copies of a Paris newspaper that printed
them and are distributing them industriously
in Albania, with damaging effect upon
Lanes chance Of getting crown.
And then there is Ghika No 3 His full
name is Prince Alexander Ghika lie has
stolen a march the others. for he Is
already 81 the scene of the Balkan war and
is at this moment engaged in stirring up
enthusiasm for his. cause among the Alban-
ians
Prince Alexander Ghika married an Irish
woman, Miss Margaret Bowling a cousin of
the Marquis Of LansdoWne and an heiress of
considerable wealth. According to society
gossip he spent all her money, and it is GER
tain that she opened fancy store iii Paris.
where she soza specimens of the needeWork
OF Ramanians and other women OF South
eastern Europe
Now that her husband is in the race for a
throne, however. she is willing to stand by
him Loyalty.
Now it is interesting to remember what
sort of people the Albanians are Most of
them live in the mountains. Their houses
are hard To reach. but very convenient places
from which TO shoot the passerby favorfe
occupation OF the Albanians IS brigandage
out business has not been SO good in recent
years as 1t used to be.

Albanians who have to work are usually
shepherds Some make a living by taking
care of the property of foreigners who have
come to Albania
Perhaps the strongest natural trait OF the
Albanans is the way they treat their women.
Half Of them are Mohammedans and keep
their wives carefully locked up The other
half are Christians and keep very careful
eye on their wives Any serious infringe
;nent of the moral law by wife is usually
punished with death.
In case of slight skittishness on the part
of the wife, the Albanian husband If in
good humor, may content himself with cut
ting off her nose and ears. Albania evidently
is place for a who values her
liberty wants her rights.
How would Lame de Pougy. the former
French adventures of Paris, be received in
a community where they entertain such bar
barous notions? Not very well, one would
think. Perhaps she imagines the benighted
Albanians know nothing of the history of
Partisan stars.
How would Miss Hazel Singer the Ameri-
can heiress, accustom herself to the man
nefs OF such savage land? She comes from
a country where women are honored as
queens and treated more indulgently than
anywhere else in the world Surely she
would find It hard to become used to the
Albanian code. But of course a crown
would make up for good many sherteom-
ings.
The task of ruling over the Albanians
would be picturesque if difficult one The
men are better than circus riders to look at

sists Of a cotton shirt, white woollen kilt
which reaches to the knees. a Jacket a sash

colered leggings, sandals and red cap,
around which they twist shawl scarf
The chiefs and wealthy Albanans usually
wear Jacket and vest of velvet, richly EN-
broidered with gold, and metal greayes over
their leggings. which usually made of
fine scarlet cloth.
The commentator adds the remark that
they seldom change their clothes"
The dress of the women is fantastic A
singular custom prevails among the girls of
strineing together the pieces of money which
they have collected for their portions and
wearing them upon their heads. Some others
have them hanging down in braids to
great length. loaded with this species of or
nament
The Albanians have their good qualities
If you are a stranger to them they are likely
to shoot or rob You, but when once you have
broken bread with them, they will do any
thing for you.

Paris, December 49,
THE funniest contest for a throne that
ever carried on is unquestionably
that which is now raging over the
newly created state of Albania.
To say that it is like a comic opera of
"The Merry Widow" type is inadequate. for
it is really much funnier.
Mixed up in the fight are three Ghikas.

yenturess and the royal lat boy of Europe.
Each one has something nasty to say about
the other. The Chicago heiress throws her
