Gustav Stressmann is said Ito be
in a position to entertain as lavishly
as he does in his high office only
because he has wife who in turn
has a wealthy bachelor brother. The
interesting sidelight on diplomatic
life in the German capital is revealed
by Baroness Louise Won Reibnitz-
Nathan, who publishes a weekly
society letter.
DR.. Stresemann, the baroness said,
draws a minister's salary of only
$6,4OO a year, with monthly allow
ance of about $3.50 for official enter
tainment, and another $1,75O a year
as a member of the Reichstag.
"It is sheer luck" the baroness
wrote, "that the incumbent of the
foreign minister's portfolio has priv
ate means at his disposal DR..
Stresemann has a wife who, through
her only brother, DR.. Won Kleefeld,
is in fortunate position. The
latters fortune is estimated at be-
tween six and seven million marks.
He is bachelor and therefore always
more than willing to help his sister"
Coburg apparently is not what 1T
is reckoned TO be as a springboard
for aspirants to royal crowns. Grand
Duke Cyril, of Russia, who years
ago announced himself as the head
of the Romanoff dynasty and the
nonresident czar of all Russia, is
packing up his belongings and is
scheduled to move his court to
Paris next month.
Cyril is said to hope that in Paris,
amid thousands of Russian emigres,
to be able to play more regal
role than he has in Coburg, where
he was overshadowed by older and
better known royalty, including the
/ former Czar Ferdinand, of Bulgaria.

5000 AMERICANS in
FRENCH UNIVERSITIES
AND VARIED SCHOOLS

PARIS Nov. 6 P)--Five thousand
American students Of all categories
will be found enrolled in the French
universities, art and technical schools
before the autumn registrations are
completed, to judge from present
indications. Last years enrolment,
roughly 1000, was itself an advance
of 1000 over 1924 and the university
authorities look for the same advance
in the 1926-1927 registration.
The American University union, in
the Boulevard Saint Germaine, is
swamped with demands for catalogs,
syllabuses and other university liter
ature, as well as appeals for help
in finding rooms, engaging tutors
and the like.
The influence of American auto
motive practice is becoming more
and more apparent in the French
industry. This is shown particularly
in the growing favor for six cylinder
machines. Twenty new six cylinder
models are on the market this year.
, The French automobilist demands,
above all, economy, high speed and
as much comfort as is compatible
with those conditions. Consequently
all the new six cylinder engines are
small, varying from 1900 cubic
centimeters to $500 in capacity, with
] engine speeds up to $500 revolutions
per minute. These machines VIII

A bottle of wine of the 1926 vint-
age will be one 'faVorably known to
"connoisseurs," but apt to cost more
than the 1927 and 1925 crops, say
experts who have just finished their
appraisal of this years product.
An unusually dry period, combined
with an extremely hot summer, cut
down the quantity of wine produced
in 1926 Plant parasites and blight
did their bit in reducing the amount.
But those grapes that did survive
the season are declared by the eX-
perts to have produced full bodied
wine of delightful bouquet and eX-
celIent flavor, with splendid keeping
qualities.
In the Bordeaux country especially,
a wine was produced which, it is
predicted, will equal some of the
vintages of the most famous years
in the last century.

In depicting police history at the
international police exposition in
Berlin. historians revealed that their
old fashioned predecessors back in
1876, seriously considered a proposal
to build the fronts OF cable cars in
the shape of horses to fool real
horses which shied at that then
modern form of transportation.
Runaway horses had become a
serious menace, and the public was
protesting against the new street
conveyances which were causing the
trouble. Some bright persons there
upon suggested that the front of
the cars should be camouflaged by
a wooden horse. In all seriousness

MARRIAGE OF ROYAL
GERMAN WIDOW ENDS
CHILDHOOD ROMANCE

BERLIN, Nov. t0--The marriage
of the widowed Princess Marie
Augusta of Prussia, youngest daugh-
ter-in-law of the former kaiser, to
her childhood sweetheart, recalls one
Of the saddest matrimonial tragedies
of the Hohenzollerns in recent times.
The second wedding of the princess
was barely mentioned in the German
press.
Born 2S years ago as a princess
Of Anhalt, Marie Augusta was mar
youngest son of wilhelm il. She
was only 1s years old. Joachim
was 20. The union was an un-
happy one. While divorce proceed
ings We're pending in 1920, Joachim
committed suicide. G3,
The former emperor, as head of
the house of HohenZollern, attempted
to obtain the custody of his grand
child, Prince Karl Franz Joseph, now
10 years old, but the legal battle
was finally won by Princess Marie,
who kept her son. After the death
of Joachim in 1924, the princess be-
came engaged to Major Bienert
wealthy Saxon mill owner. on the
eve of the day set for the wedding
Marie Augusta broke off the EN-
gagement and fled into hiding. Later
her childhood sweetheart, Baron
Johann Michael Won Leon, came a
wooing and won the hand of the
princess. The Baron is % years old

New Lingerie Will Be Scant and May Be Extrava&antly
BY MARY MARSHALL.


TINE naughty little boy may still
tease his big sister by war
bling the old lines:
There she goes, there she
goes-all dressed up in
her Sunday clothes.
But nobody knows, nobody knows,
what she's got on for under
clothes"
You may not know what big sister
has on for underclothes-but If she is
an up-to-date young lady you may be
sure that it's at least as smart as the
outside apparel-and that there isn't
any too much Of 1t. Even poor girls
nowadays wear fine underthings, and
though girls allowance or salary
may force her to make last seasons
hat do for the present and to wear q
coat two sea sons-she will seldom
think Of economizing by wearing poor
lingerie. At least that Is very gener-
ally true in this country.
For one thing. since so little lingerie
has to be worn what there is of 1t may
he really good. When women wore
three or four petticoats and dear
knows what other bits of lingerie be-
sides, 1t was an expensive proposition
TO have them all Of fine material and
dainty workmanship. Another thing
that makes ii easy to wear dainty lin
Cerie is that really nice things can be
bought at very small cost. SILK lin
gerie seems like an extravaganza, but
when you consider how durable it is
and how easily 1t may be laundered
YOU are forced TO admit that 1t is
true economy.
Some girls still make their dainty
lingerie or have il made at home by
>eamstress by the day, but there Is
Very little economy to be achieved
thereby. Americans, moreover, are
no, SO particular about the tlt OF their
underthinSs as they might be. and for
this reason there is much less preju-
dice against the sort that can be
bought ready-made in the shops.
There has been much change of late
ears in the cut and contour OF the
various pieces Of lingerie. Chemises
ur vests have been getting shorter and
shorter, and now one Of the French
lingerie makers has made some little
laCe-trimmed vests that come barely
70 the hips. These are made to go
with matching Step-inS and may be
worn either over or under the step
inS. The advantage of this shortening
Is. of course, that it eliminates any
hulkiness about the hips, if anything
80 light and sheer as these little vests
could possibly produce the effect of
hulkineSS
Another way that bulkiness has
been eliminated in the chemlse or vest
is by fitting them fairly closely and
sometimes providing them with fitted
belts. Sometimes these are fastened
al the back with tiny buttons and
loops in truly French manner.
NiChtgOWnS too. show a tendency
toward closer fitting. and these are
&"ry often finished with ribbon
eirdle at or slightly below the waist
line. Sometimes there is actually a
shaping of the garment at the waist
line, with increased fullneSs below,
and Of course nightgowns are always
made many inches longer than day
timo frocks. Frequently there Is an
edEing of lace around the hem Of the
Evening star., 1926-11-28

nightgown and sometimes net footing
several inches wide.
Petticoats are spoken Of as novel
ties, and of course there Is something
decidedly new about the little petit
coats that are worn nowadays. They
are Of very sheer material, with full.
ness controlled by means of fine gath.
ers or side pleats, and are usually
edged with wide lace or ruffle of
fine side pleating. There is usually a
fairly wide, fiat belt at the top that Is
loose enough to come slightly below
the once normal waist. line and some.
times this band is of lace to match
the lace at the hem.
With fuY9ess placed upon a waist
band there Is need for fastening. and
this is managed by buttons and loops
usually at one side. The elastic c-top.
ped petticoat may be convenient. but
1t has too much bulk about the waist
to suit the fashionable woman who
wants all her clothes to At very close
ly about waist and hips. 1t is this de-
sire for increased trimness about the
waist and hips, in fact. that has
brought forward the petticoat. A slip
must be straight enough and roomy
enough to be slipped on over the head.
and this roominess is disliked by some
women who are now wearing instead
u short vest and petticoat to match.
