Mr.. Goelet was very active, even before
the United States entered the war.
1t is not venturing much to say that the
multi-millionaire was deeply Impressed
with her from the first. She had the Az.
ure Of delicious young wood nymph and
dressed in exquisite taste, but in q very
picturesque, unusual and highly artistic
style. The combination Of rich Italian
beauty with 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 prejudices which Mr..
Goelet has def1ed 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 a very dig.
nifed, artistic and charming apartment AT
No. 449 Park avenue.
Then 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 p career" to become q great
actress, to be gifted writer for the press
on elevating themes, or to teach other
women to develop the priceless gift OF

Just after these occurrences, in June.
l9lS. deeply significant event took place.
Madame Riabouchinsky sued her husband,
in the New York Supreme Court she
alleged that AN unknown woman" had
alienated her husbands affections. Inst
before this Riabouchinsky had been sued
IN Federal court for $4,000 which he Re.

renee Of the day. Although the event oc-
Cured In Paris on October % it is dis
cussed as much as ever, for the couple
have yet to appear in society in this coun-
try-and never did a bride face so many
curious questions which fashionable So
eiety would like 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 a 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 Z?
She arranged for series of articles and
gladly posed for 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 a contract to work for $40 a
week-and suddenly asked to be released
from it. What was the sudden turn Of the
wheel of fortune that changed all her
plans?
Fashionable society awaits the arrival OF
Mr.. Goelet's Interesting bride and would
like to know the answer to these puzzling
questions.
In the iirst place 1t must be remembered
who Robert Goelet Is. He comes from one
Of the oldest Of Knickerbocker families
and owns the largest block Of New York
real estate after the Astors. Much of the
Coelet property is on Fifth avenue and
Madison avenue near. Fiftieth street. His
wealth has been reckoned at 800, 900, 900.
