COUNTESS LEADS
A DOUBLE LIFE
French Woman Preys on Lon

HAS AMAZING CAREER
Had Access to Finest Hotels and Was
Regarded as Wealthy Woman OF
Fashion-Now in internment
Camp.

LOndOn.-An amazing career of dOu-
BILE living has just closed here by the
consigning of Mrs. Josephine Bauer,
otherwise ComteSse de BOurrienne, to
an internment camp until the end OF
the war. She was regarded as one OF
the smartest women in London. She
was to be met at the Carlton, the Sa-
vOy, the Ritz and other fashionable
hotel resorts, generally at the writing
desk or taking an afternoon tea. Her
arrest several days ago as plain thief
caused loud protest among friends
who had learned to admire the lonely
woman, but her attic home was found
crammed full Of pillows, gems, clocks
and other valuables. In addition
scores of pawn tickets were unearthed.
Charmed Everyone.
Women as we'll as men were attract
ed to the countess and charmed by her
exquisite taste in dress. Frequently
they made conversation with her
just to learn where she obtained her
wonderful garments and "sweet" hats.
She posed as a Red Cross worker and
stated that her husband was in the
war. During all this time she was liv-
ing In a miserable attic and paying
rental of $1.5O week, and even that
small rental was in arrears.
In London everybody took 1t for
granted that the countess enjoyed
most liberal allowance. The facts
came to light only through the disturb
ing incident of secret bell placed in
the corner of the Hotel Victoria by
a house detective for an entirely diff
ferent purpose. 1t rang quite suddenly
one evening and quite unexpectedly.
When the manager reached the spot
he found the countess with valuable
vase in her handbag. Then the truth
came out.
Helps Her Husband.
1t appears that the countess was
born in France and was q descendant
of Louis de Bourrienne, friend and BIZ
Ographer of Napoleon. She fell in
love with Prussian and married him,
against the wishes of her father, and
