Mr.. Goelet was very active, even before
the United States entered the war.
f. 1t is not venturing much to say that the
multimillionaire was deeply impressed
with her from the first. She had the fig
ure Of delicious young wood nymph and
dressed in exquisite taste, but in a very
picturesque, unusual and highly artistic
style. The combination Of rich Italian
beauty with a highly cultivated sense of
the charm of drapery and Just touch of
Russian mystery and .strangeness was one
which might have stolen the senses Of any
man. The social preiudices which Mr..
Goeiet has defied in order TO marry her
prove the force of the charm which he
experienced. ..
Before beginning her divorce suit
Madame Riabouchinsky moved from the
lively Hotel Knickerbocker to very dig
nified, artistic and charming apartment at
No. 449 Park avenue.
Then a complete and most surprising
change occurred in Madame, sometimes
called Princess" Riabouchinsky's views
OF life. She felt no longer the least desire
to have "a career" TO become a great
actress, to be gifted writer for the press
on elevating themes, or to teach other
women to develop the priceless gift OF
beauty.
The newspaper had already gratified her
early ambition by beginning the publica-
ton of her articles on beauty culture. Sud-
denly lawyer engaged by Madame Ria
bouchinsky obtained an injunction against

ager, Morris Gest, and eagerly accepted
nom him an offer to display her beauty in
various roles for the modest salary of $40
a week. 1t is interesting to remember that
she now enjoys the revenue from about
$1O0,0O0000 of New York real estate.
The Prince and Princess were stopping
at the Knickerbocker Hotel" said Mr..
Gest. She saw one of my productions,
was impressed with 1t and sought me out.
She told me that she desired a career,
that she was not satisfied with her life as
II was, and wanted my judgment upon her
abilities. The moment | looked upon her
knew that here was find such as one

makes only in a generation: She had
beauty and grace, but besides those she
had also that indeflnable thing which we
call magnetism. Furthermore, she was
extremely intelligent and temperamental

ing here was a woman who might become

we entered into a contract, she ac-
cepting the terms most willingly. The
hrst year she was to receive $40 week-so
little because that year would necessarily
be spent largely in her training. The sec
ond year she was to receive 5000 week,
and the third year $500 a week. And then
she sent lawyer around to ask me to
release her from the contract!
Already at that time | had acquired the

were desirous Of attaining similar perfec-
tion.
Just after these occurrences, In June.
1916, a deeply significant event took place.
Madame Riabouchinsky sued her husband,
commonly known as Prince" for divorce
in the New York Supreme Court She
alleged that AN unknown woman" had
alienated her husbands affections Just
before this Riabouchipsky had been sued
in Federal court for s45,000 which he re-
fused to pay on the ground that 1t was q
gambling debt. Madame Riabouchinsky
said it was through this case that she
learned of her husbands infatuation fol
the other woman. Madame Riabouchinsky
obtained her divorce.
At this time. or, perhaps, little earlier,
the lovely Italian woman had made the
acquaintance of the multi-millionaire, Rob-
ert Goelet. Accounts generally agree that
they first came together through their mu-

Upon his return to this country his de-

society.
In the Summer the curious noticed. thai
Mr.. Goelet's great house at Newport was
being repaired. II had been neglected and
more or less unoecupied since his hrst
wife, once noted as the beautiful Elsie
Whelen, obtained divorce from him IN
1914. -.
In August Mr.. Goelet sailed for France
When asked plainly he was going 20
marry Madame gRisbouchinslCy, he smiled
happily and said II would be best 10 IN
quire of her. She had already preceded
him on the road TO Paris. In due coUrgs
came an announcement that on October.ssss
they had been married at the Americst
Church in Paris

have yet to appear in society in this coun-

curious questions which fashionable so
ciety would ike TO know the answer to.
Was she Princess" or was she not?
She permitted herself to be called
Princess" and then suddenly refused to
allow people to call her by this title.
Was she crazy for a dramatic career"
or was she not? She signed stage con-
tract with great enthusiasm and then she
said she couldn't possibly think of going
on the stage.
Was she seeking a chance to exploit her
self In the newspapers or was she not?
She arranged for a series OF articles and
gladly posed for a bunch OF photographs
generously revealing her charming face
and figure, and then insisted that she really
couldn't consent to having the articles
published.
She signed contract to work for $40 a
veek-and suddenly asked to be released
from It. What was the sudden turn Of the
wheel Of fortune that changed all her
planE? -....
Fashionable society awaits the arrival of
Mr.. Goelet's interesting bride and would
like to know the answer to these puzzling
questions.
In the first place it must be remembered
who Robert Goelet Is. He comes from one
OF the oldest OF Knickerboeker families
and owns the largest block Of New York
real estate after the Astors. Much Of the
Goelet property is on Fifth avenue and
Madison avenue near Fiftieth street. His
wealth has been reckoned at 500, 900 900.
His relatives on this side include the
Gerrys and Vanderbflts and many others
Of similar importance, and his sister Is the
Duchess OF Roxburghe In England.
On the other hand Madame Rocchi Ria
bouchinsky Is the daughter of a poor pro
lessor and never had any fashionable So
cial position. .l.y,,
She came here from Russia with hus-
band whose name was certainly a mouth
ful TO pronounce and who wore luxuriant
whiskers and who planned to hold sale
OF antiquities" Then she obtained a
divorce from that husband.
