LONDON, Nov. S.-London is al
present suffering from an epidemic OF
women motor car drivers. Everyone
thought that motor driving for women,
never popular pastime, had quite
gone out, when suddenly IT has become
the fashion. The Duchess of West
Minister always drives herself now In a
big yellow car, and may often be seen
coming up to town from her suburban
retreat near Richmond, smart chauf-
feur by her side to act in case of ac-
cidents. Miss Pauline Chase, the
American actress, is another ardent
motorist, and frequently threads her
way calmly through the busy Strand
and drives up to the Savoy grill room
for lunch
Many of the prominent militant suf
fragettes employ female drivers, Mrs,
Pethick Lawrence s able-bodied woman
at the wheel being a particularly well.
known figure about the West End, and
the fair taxicab driver threatens in
the near future. Princess Mary, while
at Balmoral, had some lessons from her
brother, the Prince Of Wales, who is a
keen motorist, but the queen absolutely
declines to hear Of her taking up the
sport seriously A number Of the
chorus lights at the Gaiety and DAILY IS
thcaters are expert drivers, and can be
met with on Sundays on all the main
roads leading out OF London. One of
the best women drivers in England
was the late Mrs Manville, who practi.

VIENNA, Nov. S.-The past fe"
weeks have witnessed the sale under
the hammer of the personal effects oil
johann Sebastian, brother Of Franz
Josef |, who was last year legally de-
clared dead, after q disappearance OF
twenty years. He Is remembered as
"John Orth. and as lover or music
and art his lie was ideal
When he married pretty little Frau
lein Stubel OF the Vienna stage he
was obliged to retire into the back
ground. but never was he lost sight OF.
In true democratic simplicity he
mingled with the musical Bohemia or
Vienna and Gmunden, and artists from
every nationality were his guests and
constant companions. His death is
shrouded In mystery, but he is thought
to have been lost at sea on his way
TO the western hemisphere IN search OF
freedom IN his private life.
Last year the Archduke Ferdinand
married FIaulein Czuber, renouncing
all HE titles and slipping away from
publicity, But being 3 great favorite
of his uncle, the kaiser (who has always
had soft spot for his young love
lorn nephews and nieces), the lady has
been given title, and they are both
back In the bosom of the family and
spend much time in the inner circle in
Vienna. Also the granddaughter, the
Archduchess Elizabeth, was last year
permitted to be married to her
brothers. military governor, Count
George OF Waldberg, but was obliged
to lay down her status as an imperial
princess Of Hspsburg. This is not
such an easy matter. II demands a
tremendous rending from inside the
church, for this family is the direct
apostolic dynasty.
That the widow Of Crown Prince Ru-
dolf Stefani should step out of her
rights for life with simple Hungarian
diplomat, Count Ellmar Lonyay, is not
TO be wondered at, for the lady is a
daughter Of the eccentric old king Of
Belgium, who did not hesitate himself
to sully the purple blood Of the throne.
Then there Is Franz Josef's nephew,
Carl Sebastian, who Is living IN volun:
tary exile on Me1orca, off the coast of
Spain. He prefers to keep his personal
right to marry and live as a free man.
