Brussels-The Duke and Duchess of
Orleans can get along together no
longer. For many years 1t has been
known that the duchess was tired of
husband. Now at last she has sued
for separation. alimony and the re-
etitution of large sums which, she at
firms. h has advanced the duke. who
is the French pretender.
1t would not seem that the duchess
should have much trouble in gaining
a divorce. The dukes private life has
been just n scandal after another.
Shortly after he attained his majority
he was sued by the husband OF. an
Australian prima donna, who alleged
that the duke had alienated HIS SWffe's
affections. According to the stories
current at the time the duke fell in love
with h singer in London and followed
her through several countries disguised
as her valet.
This was but one of the escapades
traced to-the duke since he attained his
majority in 1890. Because Of his ob1ec-
tfonable personal conduct and by rea-
son of his intrigues against the French
government, he wac warned out of
nearly every country OF Europe.
The emperor OF Austria and the king
OF Italy were the first to refuse to per-
nit him on their soil. Then the Belgian
government nipped in the bud his
scheme to establish a little court in
