had gone back to Russia for few months,
but would follow her when he had wound
up his Russian affairs.
The air was speedily filed with all sorts
Of rumors. The two most persistent were
that Riabouschinsky himself had turned
Bolshevist and his wife had fed to America
to escape being made a Bolshevist wife
The second was that she had already Sc
cured divorce, and was but awaiting the
proper moment to marry Mr.. Goelet Both
of these rumors eventually proved untrue.
The husband turned up and proved to be
a mild-mannered although weirdly whis-
kered chap who seemed as Indifferent to
his wifes charms as he was to her friend.
ships.
Society was in a terrible quapdary
Should it or should it not call upon the
lady? That was the question. A few of
Mr.. Goelet's good friends-he has a great
many-took her up and even invited her
to small dinners and luncheons. And it
must be confessed that even those who did
not entertain her made her and her doings
a topic of steady conversation. Her clothes
were always the sensation Of the hour, and
her limousine was the most perfectly ap-
pointed seen on the Avenue.
Society, even those who entertained
Nine. Riabouschinsky, said that Mr.. Goelet
would never marry her, and how could he.
anyway, because of her husband? Then
this most mysterious person disappeared
from sight, and the last heard of him he
was headed for his native country. Gossip
reached torrid heat, and again society said
Goelet would and would not.
AS might be supposed, these were par
lous times under Mrs. Ogden Goelet's roof
tree! For months that estimable lady ig-
nored her sons infatuation, but when he
began taking his two boys, her grandsons
Ogden and Peter, to lunch and drive with
Nine. Riabouschinsky, she declared war at
Great Britain Rights Reserved.
The Washington times., 1919-08-17

once. The only thing that brought tempo
rary peace was Mr.. Goelet's being sent
overseas in the army. He made frequent
trips back, however, for his Job was in the
transportation section, and whenever he
was in New York he made it a point to
send Ogden and Peter to spend the day
with the lady of his dreams.
Then shortly after the armistice Madame
Riabouschinsky went to Paris; again ru-
NOR had it that she had gone to Russia to
get a Bolshevist divorce, but "they order
this matter better in France" and it was
in Paris that she secured her divorce.
When this news was cabled to New York,
gossip that had somewhat died down dur
ing her absence started up again, and now
society is divided into two camps-those
who will receive her if Goelet marries her
and those who will not. Needless to say,
the greater number are in the latter
camp! Mrs. Goelet, Senior, is a very pow
erful person-her daughter is the Duchess
of Roxburghe, and her sisters are Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr.. and Lady Her.
bert, Of London.
Without the backing Of his women, no
man-not even Goelet-can do very much
socially, so If Mr.. Goelet, as is rumored,
winds up his journey by marrying the lady
it is doubtful if he will bring her to New
York or Newport very soon.
Then there are his two sons It is well
known that Mrs. Clews, their mother, has
been perfectly willing to leave them with
their father so long as he remained un-
married, or possibly if he should marry
woman of his own circle. But Mrs. Clews
has sent word that the minute her former
husband marries Madame Riabouschinsky
the boys are to be sent to her. This con-
tingency adds to society's interest In this
strange and unusual romance.
Robert Goelet is independent In every
