of her introduction TO the radio she
revealed broad musical knowledge. Az

For Jazz, as for modern art the grand
duchess has an amused contempt. On
viewing the reproduction OF q modern
French painting in an American maya
zine she said:
"They can't draw, hence they have
to invent this sort of thing.
In these conversations the grand
duchess revealed strong likeness OF
mind to her father, particularly on
questions of government. One OF the
few times we touched upon the Russian
revolution she said:
"Yod cannot blame the plain people
for all the horrors committed during

from topics that might arouse painful
memories.
Few persons can have been witness
of such terrible events and few have
seen SO much of the abhorrent side OF
human nature as has the grand duchess
Yet she Is not bitter. But neither has
she any illusions. She fears people and

BY GLEB f, ROTKIN,

When We had evaded the reporters
by smuggling the grand duchess from
the Cunsrd dock by way of the ffeight
elevator. We rushed her into a waiting
automobile and raced uptown in New
York to the home of an American
friend
The grand duchess was completely
unnerved by her experience. We left
her in secluSion the rest of the day.
From then on l saw her almost daily.
In spite of the improvement in health
which I had noted on the ship, 1t was
apparent that her nervous condition
was still far from satisfactory
The first days in New York were diff
cult for the grand duchess. IT was
generally thought that she was with
Mrs. Leeds at Oyster Bay. As a matter
of fact. she remained In New York City
for three weeks after her arrival. Dur
ing that time she had many hours of
depression, sitting plunged in silence,
almost unconscious of things about her.
What her thoughts were in those mo-
ments one fears to guess.
After several days in her new sur
roundingS the grand duchess became
more accustomed to the new mode of
life.
In our talks she revealed herself as
most interesting conversationaliSt
She possesses q quick mind.
Knew Her as a Child.
Earlier in these articles I said that
my talks with the grand duchess since
her arrival in New York had convinced
me more than ever that she was Ana

the Gear. That is not exactly what /
should have said. My conviction could
not have been greater when l left

my conversations with the grand

in America there appeared in greater
outline and clarity the personality /

the traits of character that bore

OF the imperial family.
What amazed me was her education
and keen interest In the affairs of the
world. One would think a person who
had been through what she had been
through would have lost all track OF
world events. This Is not the case with
the grand duchess. She takes keen
