al American girls win hearts by
their money and not by theiI
beauty? Whoever says so
speaks contrary to truth, for facts
prove that American charm can win
out even when MammOn has no power
TO sway the balance. If any one
doubts this let him read the following
story:
Not many months ago his imperial
majesty of Germany relegated his
sixth and youngest son to the solitude
of Egyptian lands, for the benefit of
his health said the discreet The
only indisposition from which his
royal highness suffered, however, was
his royal fathers displeasure. And
that was incurred under circum-
stances which proved not the princes
iniquity but his good nature.
Prince Joachim is young and no
milksop. He had a friend who was
even less of a milksop. This friend,
in straitened circumstances, as the
story is told, secured the princes in
dorsement of note for $4,000,
which however, he was not able to
meet when the time fell due. The
result was that Prince Joachim left
the Strassburg university suddenly
last March and was sent into Danish
ment which was intended to be pun
ishment for an indefinite period. But
the Fates, more kindly than the ia
Their, ordained otherwise.
Last Easter the principal of the
Willard school, Berlin, determined to
send the pupils on a vacation trip.
The girls were placed under the
charge of DR.. Luce, and DR.. Luce
chose Egypt as the scene of the visit.
Easter. 1913, came in March.
Prince Meets American Girl.
Among the pupils OF the Willard
school was a young American girl
named Olive Huntington of Norwich,
Conn. 1t happened that DR.. Luce's
party met Prince Joachim and his
suite In fact, they were very much
thrown together The Fates began to
get less busy All they had to do
now was SIT and look on, for history
goes to indicate that with the advent
of a young lady from the U. S. A.
entertaining the German prince would
be a matter of small difficulty
Whoever reads with even cursory
interest the annals of the kaisers
sons will readily recall the names of
American girls who, at different pc
riods, caused no small heartburning
and anxiety in the imperial palace.
Yes, of course, you remember the
name of Deacon and the history of
the infatuation of no less parsonage
than the crown prince himself, an in
fatuation so deep as to inspire terror
into the hearts of his royal parents
Miss Deacon, however, aIlayed their
fears and earned the eternal gratitude
of the kaiser.
Other Charmers Involved.
But the end of his troubles was not
yet, however. In 1912 ro.nor connect
ed the name of Miss Alma Orithweir
of St Louis, Mo-, with that of Prince
Adalbert, third and most often turned
down of the imperial family. They
were convalescing in the same sana-
forum near Augsburg, Bavaria. The
rumor died and was no more heard
Of But Americas daughters were
yet to cross the path of the Emperor
William.
Next came Miss Mildred Devereux to
the German capital and shortly after
followed the surrender If Prince Joa-

this encounter, and his susceptible
ties were not tested by any more
