romance of international interest
is interviewer in the recent marriage
of Miss Margaret Preston Draper OF
Massachusetts and Prince Andrea Bon
cOmpagni of Italy. His eminence, Car
dinal Gibbons, close friend of both
families, conducted the marriage sery-
ice, Miss Draper having been recently
received into the Catholic church.
Following the service nuptial mass
was held. This unusual privilege of a
mass in private house, which for the
day was Il private chapel, is one of the
favOrs bestowed by the pope on the
family Of Boncompagni.

able, especially since the advent of the
automobile. Yet the turns of the road
can be easily determined il both the
object and the trailer use machines.
This difficulty has been overcome by
the fact that few licensed chauffeurs
dare to refuse the cooperation with
the police and none of the out-Of-tOwn
drivers can be long unknown to au-
thorities.
With the small piece of mirror used
as periscope the cleverest men pre-
cede instead of follow their objects. In
street cars, for instance, the trailer
often sits in front Of the object and OBJ
serves his motions with the little piece
of glass. The apparent adjusting of
pair of spectacles or the twirling OF
mustache will enable the trailer to OBJ
serve the person sitting behind, when
the small mirror is concealed in the
palm of the hand.
Few persons believe that person
walking ahead or sitting in front OK
them are following them, and many
are thrown completely off their guard.
Another important factor is the tele-
phone espionage. Few secret messages
| can now be sent by suspected person
through the hotel telephones. Every
| word is usually recorded by shorthand
operators that are let in on the line
and even the scraps of torn paper
| from the waste baskets of the rooms
| of suspected guests are pasted together
on transparent paper and turned over
to the police. Names in hatbands, tail
orS' labels in clothes and other details
are observed and reported, and woe be
| to the one who registers under diff
ferent name than that of the labels in
his coat.
Where there is the slightest incon-
| gruity there will be the most strenu-
GUS system of espionage until the sus-
pect is either in the tolls or the au-
| thorities are satisfied that he or she is
| harmless.
Invisible paraffined pages are often
| placed three or four sheets down in
pads of telegraph blanks:SO that copies
are obtained Of messages when pow
! dered charcoal is shaken over the par
affined sheets. Wherever the paraffined
| impressions are, the charcoal will ad-
here and the lettering comes out quite
closely. BY vanishing the copy per-
manent copy is obtained, and such
copies are often produced in evidence.
Also every telegraph office in Germany
| is open for inspection by the secret
service men.
| More than One-half of the higher
class spies are required to have some
ostensible avOcation or business, and
frequently their wives and children or
their most intimate friends do not
know that they are in the service.
They receive their salaries in the most
roundabout ways at times, and are, as
a rule, not eXtravagantly or even well
paid. The members of the emperor's
staff get from 5000 to 25,O0O marks per
annum and a bonus upon special per
formance.
The cost of maintaining" the eSpion-
age system of Germany previous to-
and during the war has been enormous,
| but those who know declare that the
results are we'll commensurate with
the expenditures.

through which the gas is passed. Dur
