LAKELAND AND VICINITY
Cloudy weather with show
ers probable this afternoon
and tonight. Tuesday fair.
The Washington times., 1921-12-11

What a revelation of the high minded, honorable
duct of this nobleman, who apoogzed to his chorus girl
sweetheart for his absence but reminds her that it is
of certain purpose and that when he
ceeds he will it that his mistress is the first
who will profit, by it! s.
Well, ! am not surprised shocked that Prince
Victor wrote that letter. 1t very well illustrates the
did not strike Prince Victor anything amss make
love to an innocent young American girl and at the same
time beg his mistress to be patient and look forward
sharing with him the profits of ga certain purpose"
myself do not pretend that had soul above doing
take occasion point how we'll the conduct of this
Prince illustrates the foreign nobleman's viewpoint of
marriage which impossible for decent American
mothers and daughters to grasp.
Another Illuminating peep behind the scenes was given
when princess Josephine told the creditors that
if her noble husband had missed his chance annex
New York heres he had hopes of Southern lady who
worth 100000.
To prove this ''the Princess declared that the Prince
had written his brother Macmillan, in Vienna of this
100000 Southern prospect, and had immeditcy
ceived reply by cablegram from dear brother Maxi
milan saying in substances
"Do not disgrace yourself by marrying girl who is
worth only two millions. You must get wife worth at
least twenty millions"
But it too late.
Prince Victor looked about and surveyed the ruins Of
what few weeks before had been his golden prospects
He had DESTROYED his possibilities with the fashionable
rich creditors bounding him day and night and
princess Josephine his table dhote bride, asking
where the money to from to pay their running
expenses in the style be6ttinga princess.

others who had been nice to him, without sending
memorandum of his address in Europe to his creditors,
and without farewell understanding with his table

As as his departure known creditors swooped
down upon his Park apartment which had been
his love nest with the Princess Josephine" Moving
backed and took away the furniture which had
been purchased credit; jewellers clerks ransaoked
the place and took away such valuabes they could find
and artist sent to portrait
of the Prince which he had painted with great expectation
Of promised declaration from Vienna whey the painting
should be put exhibition in the Thurn and Taxs palace
Prince Victor turned up in Paris and attempted {,
hide himself from his friends and creditors in the fourth
floor back of small hotel But the baifs sent to
legal papers him found him and started suit
in the name of Mile Kemper, money lender, to
$1l5,6O5, which she had advanced. Along with the
notice of the suit attachment the belongings
of the noble Prince, and the bails returned the
statement that all they could find get their hands
the following;
Three suits of clothes much worn; two dinner Jackets
two evening suits four suits of underclohes eight Shirts
twentysx handkerchief two overcoats leather valise
sundry toilet articles three canes with gold head
with the Princes engraved thereon; silver cigar
cite and four scarf pins with imitation pearl
And then strange thing happened.
Who would have supposed that the revelations of the
gnomnOus conduct of this scapegrace nobleman would
have been the of his achieving exactly what he
was supposed to have to American to accomplish
Who would have believed that the public exposure Of
his princely behavior while in America, his disgusting
dupcity in flirting with highly refined young women
in fashionable drawing rooms while at the same time
he carried his affair with chorus girl, and his
manly flight from the noisome would have attracted
to him rich American woman who was glad to take him
on as husband and pay up his debts!
When the news leaked out that the charming Ida
Nicolls daughter of Pennsylvania coal magnate, who
was immensely wealthy to become the bride of Prince
Victor-the money lenders could scarcely believe their
ears and eyes. Could it be possible that out ct all

Among other letters "the Princess re-

small talk of the fashionable drawing rooms
and the young society buds bored the noble
Prince, and how he longed for the more in
