In our climb up the social ladder
The Almanach de Gotha is strictly a
German-made product. Maybe its COM
pliers and publishers have not liked US
of late, but If the Dawes commission
plan goes through nicely perhaps they
will feel more kindly toward US. 1t
is to be hoped so. For the Berlin Nit
tags Zeltung editorially remarks:
1t is true that war brought about
many divorces of American women
who had Joined European princes and
counts in order to embroider coat or
arms upon their underwear, or to have
1t printed on their stationery, but 1t
appears that in the long run titles and
names are as attractive to American
women as in former years. At least
there are some new names added re-
Gently TO the Almanach de Gotha list.
But that has nothing to do with the
story of Prince Obolenski and the Ro-
manoff and Aston millions, except that
next years Almanach will probably
mention the marriage Of Miss Ava
Alice Muriel Astor to Prince Serge
Platonovitch Obolenski Neledinski Me-
ietski.
They are married all right and at
this writing are honeymooning some
where on the continent. And back in
London the gossips are still asking
the question: Why did the great-great

Russian family? Was the prince one
of those wonderful European lovers"
like the Hollander who swept Millicent
Rogers of New York off her feet? You
see, there is a myth abroad that the
American Is a good husband, but a
poor lover. And 1t was whispered
about fashionable London, where the
once-American Astors mostly do con-
gregate, that Prince Obolenski was
1.-THE best dancer in Europe; that he
was las strong as Hercules; that he
was a "gifted composer of love songs"
And 1t is possible that Mayfair
raised an eyebrow over the Obolenski-
Astor marriage for the reason that 1t
is little more than seven months since
Prince Catherine Obolenski obtained a
divorce in London from Prince Obo-
lenski on the grounds of neglect. in
fidelity and nonsupport."
Here's where the Romanoff millions
come into the stOry-and the story of
these millions shames fiction. Here
are the high lights of 1t:
