IaoNTE CARZO :.

a good train service from the north
which brings new visitors each week.
Entertaining, however, is at low ebb.
What little is done is done in behalf
of the wounded and suffering. Many
famous hOstesses have arrived at their
villas and all have brought with them
the war work on which they were en-
gagged in their respective countries.
Empress Eugene, the widow of Ma
poleon Ill of France, who turned her
magnificent home in the suburbs of
London into a hospital when war broke
out, has arrived at her villa Cirnos"
at Cap Martin. villa Arethuse," situ-
ated next to hers, has been taken by
James Hazen Hyde, the American who
became notorious a few years ago in
connection with life insurance investi-
CATION. With him is his wife, formerly
the Countess Louis GOntaut-Biron, nee
Leishman. They are doing remarkably
little entertaining.
Close to these villas is the VILLA
Clemantina," which is the property of
Nine. Louis Stern, who is better known
under her pen name Of Maria Starr
She has come for the season and is
doubly welcome because she is an old
friend of the Prince of Monaco. She is
doing all that she can for the soldiers.
There is a large villa located near her
own and as soon as Sne arrived Sue
rented it and equipped it as hospital
for the wounded French soldiers. She
operates the place entirely at her own
expense. and when the wounded have
recovered she sends them back to their
regiments equipped with plenty of warm
clothing.
One visitor who attracts a tremendous
amount of attention is Her Highness
the Princess Kara Georgevitch. She is
the mother of Prince Paul of Servia.
She is a tall. well-proportioned woman
with white hair and heavily scanned face.
The princess is of times that are past.
She is austere, deeply religious, and de-
votes all her time to charities. Her
brother-in-law is King Peter of Servia.
Naturally, to her the Servian cause is
noble and just one and all the money
that she can collect she sends to the
needy of her land.
Another famous titled lady is the
English Duchess of Marlborough. With
Lady Paget and Lady Randolph Church.
i'll she has been supporting and conduct
ing a war hospital in London. She
came to Monte Carlo with her son, Lord
Ivor, and like the other guests is spend
ing her time very quietly. All the Rus
slams who are at the place know her
and she spends most of her time with
them.
Strange to say. in these grim war
times il is a bright, sunshiny. smiling
little maiden who is attracting most of
the attention at Monte Carlo. She is the
Princess Valentinois, granddaughter of
the ruling Prince Albert |. of Monaco,
and daughter of Albert's son, Prince
Louis. 1t is the hand Of this little Eirl

''The letter." explained Mrs. Decker,

him as a joke"
But what didn't like about it," said
Mr.. Decker, was that my wife had the
collar buttons charged to me. l have

years. All was good for in my home

1T was really hopeless, it was hope

aire cannot be reformed. tried and tried
and tried to think out ways of doing it. I
tried until my head ached, and nothing
came of it. The nature of a millionaire's
son is warped beyond all hope before he
reaches the marrying age"
Mrs. Kathryn Decker thinks they are
all alike. Her husband, she says, was a
perfect type of the species. And these
are the difficulties of married life with a
millionaire as she found them as caused
by her husband:
HE was insanely jealous.
He recalled invitations that 1 had sent
out for a dinner.
He threatened to insult my friends.
He made a scene about an osteopath
who treated me in the presence of INV
sister.
"He demanded that | discharge 2
physician because he was too young and
attractive.
He would fly in a rage il l mentioned
l met a man anywhere.
He made absurd charges about a boy
whose mother was my guest
He threatened to kill me-"
And all this when only two years ago
Mrs. Decker had made the statement that
she was going on the stage loving and
loved!" And all this when Mrs. Decker
was domestic and loved her home!
al have not jewel he bought me-" sha
says. Whenever he offered to buy me
a jewel would ask him not to and urge
him to buy something to make our
home more comfortable and beautiful
The first two months of our marriage
rolled along beautifully. For eight weeks
we were really happy. Then came the
third month and trouble. and from that
time on it was only misery-four wears

him. The main reason was his jealousy

distress and such humiliation that am

lady lawyer, "how about your favorite
manicure at the Hotel Ansonia?"
''Favorite manicure? Favorite mani
cure nothing. haven't any favorite.
like 'em ALL" was Decker's generous re-
sponse.
Decker said he had as many things to
grieve him, even more, than his wife al
leges she had.
when we were first married. he said,
My wife was willing to rear a family,
but later she changed her mind and
looked upon me merely as the bill-payer
of the house"
And yet 1t must be admitted that Mrs.
Decker was not so unwilling to have a
family around as her husband would
make her out to be. She did bring fam
lily to her house-she brought her two
sisters and the husband of one of them
to take up permanent quarters with her
and her husband. But the ungrateful
husband objected.
They lived in my house at my ex-
pense. And, BESIDES" he explains, they
we're not the kind of family meant"
The unhappy couple were married the
day after April Fool day in 1910. Mrs.
Decker says her husband told her at the
JudJ WuSu the estates VI HIS ldlucE
and grandfather we're settled he would
be worth 100000. She is an actress
and was recently playing in a part which
paid her $3.50 a week.
Now she feels that she would rather
have only $50 a week than to have the
wealth of her husband and the troubles
she says he brought her. Once this hus-
band, according to Mrs. Decker, took her
to dinner party and glared so at the
man who sat next to her that she had to
explain that he was only a casual ac-
quaintance and not an old lover as her
husband thought.
She admitted knowing several men.
One by the name of Allen was but nine
teen years Old. He took her to a dancing
studio and from there to his mothers
home, where she had lunch with him.
Another man was Atherton Brownell,
a cIubman, author, playwright and news
paper man. Her husband introduced
note from Atherton to his wife:
st do not know, dear, that can stand
this new living arrangement. i want you
so ardently. You filled my every mental
want SO fully on Thursday evening that
your compani0nship is growing dearer
and more dear to me every day. Then I
opened my box and found those buttons.
THANK you, sweetheart. Next to hav-
ing your arms about me, these at my
throat viii be best. 1t is very sweet of
you ATHERToN."
