which will guide the future destinies of
this little principality.
The fact of the matter is that neither
the reigning prince nor his son and heir
is particularly pleased with the job of
ruling over the toy country. Both
Prince Albert and Prince Louis prefer
life in Paris to life in their great palace
on the Mediterranean. Both have viii
las near Paris and both have given over
these villas to the French government
to be used as hospitals.
Prince Louis loves Paris so much that
he has sworn he will not give up its at
fractions to reign a tinsel and paste
board prince over a country which, at
the best, has but a handful of subjects
For a time it was thought that upon the
death of the present ruler the princi-
pality would be given over to the direc-
ton of a German prince to whom the
house of Monaco is distantIy related
The war, however, has made this i'm
possible
So now it is the little princess who is
being trained for the responsibilities Of
ruling the tiny land. Her father went to
France after the war broke out to visit
his son and when he returned he brought
with him his little daughter Her
bright, smiling face is everywhere and
helps greatly to relieve the depression
which at times comes over everybody.
She has learned all of nursing that she
could and gives most of her time to the
soldiers in the hospitals. And when she
is not busy she is flying about securing
patrons for concerts and other entertain
ments, the proceeds of which are sent
to the French Red Cross.
The Washington herald., 1915-01-24

The Casino itself, where all the gam
bling takes place, brings in an average of
S12,000,000 annually to the princtpality
Of Monaco and to its prince. Without it
there would probably be neither prince
nor a principality. And the Casino is
supported by from 100000 to 100000
visitors year. They are the visitors who
lose their money to the Casino to the ex-
tent Of s12,OOO,OOO a year, and who
make both the prince and the pri1cipality
possible.
Sad to say, this year there are no Wis
tors. OF course there is a handful of
the very wealthy who have come and
opened their villas, but there are not the
thousands who generally make an annual
pilgrimage to this place The Casino is
the height of desolation. The occasional
click of coin on table there is one of the
Baddest Of sounds.
Prince Louis of Monaco. son Of the
ruling prince, has left for the front. He
was a colonel in the French army and
when the war broke out he left for
France and was made an aide on the
stan of one of the French armies. Villas
and hotels. formerly crowded with gay,
careless throngs, have now been con-
yerted into war hospitals. Women who
have an international reputation as
hostesses have given up all thoughts of
society and are caring for the injured
France at the invitation of the princi-
pality has sent thousands of its GONZALES
cent soldiers to the place to regain their
health in the bright sunshine and clear
air of the gambling paradise. 1t is sure
Iy a changed Monte Carlo.
But Monte Carlo, of course, is having
its season this year the same as it has
in other years, although it's not quite
the same sort of season.
True enough the winter sun is shining
in all it's brightness and warmth as it
was wont to do in peace times. The sky
Is just as blue as ever and the breeZes
are as balmy. The casino is open, so
are most of the palatial restaurants and
hotels, and the orchestra is playing as
beautifully as it always has.
The change is in the people The few
who are there do not act the same. There
is not the gayety, the abandon, the care
less happiness.
Money does not change hands as quick
II and easily as it used to-not by any
means Even the favored of the earth,
the richest people in the world, who or
dinarily are as sure Of their fortunes as
they are as sure that day follows night,
now do not know when a sudden turn
of fortunes wheel will make beggars of
them. And ii is in this feeling of I'M
certainty that hangs like heavy cloud
over what was formerly one of the gay
est and most careless places on earth.
Yet there are any number of smart
villas which have their shutters down.
Most of the best hotels, except those
which were unfortunate enough to have
German proPrietors, are open. There Is

York. Lucille Pugh is her name, and
for the lovely actress, Kathryn Brown
Decker, she secured a divorce from her
wealthy husband, Henry Edward Decker,
on the grounds of cruelty.
The cruelty part isn't the remarkable
part of the case. Thousands of divorces
are had yearly on cruelty grounds. Where
the modern Portia starred was in the tri-
umphant way in which she carried of her
contention that spying on a wife by the
husband constituted extreme cruelty, and
hence is sufficient ground for divorce.
For it seems that the wealthy Mr..
Decker did spy on his charming wife:
found her in the company of other men
Il did it just to tease him, says the
wife); discovered she made presents to a
nineteen-year-old boy Q did IL just for a
joke, says Mrs. Decker; and went with a
man to his house for dinner Chis mother
was a dear friend of mine, says Mrs.
Decker.
1t was the way the New York Portia
handled these charges and these excuses
and through them induced the judge to
look upon Mr.. Decker's curiosity as
cruelty that won the case for her charm
ing client. Like another Portia, she
dressed for the part, though not In flow
ing robes and wigs. Rather she pulled
her hair back tightly from her face and
covered it with a black derby, mans
style; wore a vest with a little white
vestee, and a cutaway coat which the
most masculine of masculine men would
not hesitate to don; a mans collar and a
tie, and a skirt of black which, in some
views looked like a pair of black trous-
ers. She was the modern male attorney
in impeccaby proper dress.
1t must be said that the Judge at least
did not strew many difficulties in the
path of Mrs. Decker and her lady lawyer.
The lady lawyer maintained that espion-
age was sufficiently cruel a proceeding
to Justify a separation decree. Supreme
Court Justice Blanchard limited that It
was.
The lady lawyer, when she got Decker
on the witness stand, made him admit
that he had spent $500 to have his wife
watched by detectives to ascertain what
grounds, If any, he had for divorce. Mrs.
Decker herself admitted that she did
what she could in reason to keep the de-
tectiyes busy. She accompanied certain
men about the city, she said. and with
one of them she sat for two long hours
on a church step just to bother the de-
tectives.
Didn't you send flowers to other
women while living with your wife?" the
lady lawyer asked Decker on cross-exam-
ination.
But Decker wouldn't admit anything as
to that.
We'll, then" pursued the undaunted
