Degrees of kinship
Easy to Determine

Reckoning cousin relationships is
simple II you start out right. A cousin
Is one collaterally related by descent
from common ancestor, but not a
brother or sister. Children of brothers
and sisters are first cousins to one an,
other; sometimes they are called
cousins-german, own cousins, or full
cousins. The children of first cousins
are second cousins" to one another !.
children of second cousins are third
cousins to one another, and so on.
The child of ones first cousin is q first
cousin once removed; the grandchild
OF ones first cousin is first cousin
twice removed and SO on. Confusion
sometimes arises from the custom OF
some people who speak of the children
and grandchildren of their first cousins
as second hnd third cousins, respec
lively, but the practice is only local.
The correct and almost universal rule
for reckoning cousins Is as we have
given it-Pathfnder Magazine. :.

BOOK EXPOSES
|MPOSTER

PARIS. Feb. Z 1.E.sl.-Alexandre
N. Kroupenslly. president Of the
Superior Council Of Monarchist Rus
sia, now sxiled in Paris, is about to
publish a book written in collabora-
ton with several other Russians
ana a Frenchman. in which he re-
flutes a recent German publication
by Madame Ratlef- f-Keulman to prove
that the so-calIed Madame Tchaikov-
ska is an imposter.
"The Truth About Tchaikovska !"
contains a long and minutelyde-
tailed presentation Of the great
physical differences between the
real and supposed daughter of the
Russian Gar. made by a Swiss ex-
pert, former tutor of the Emperor s
children at the Court of Russia.
According to his exposition, the
ear alone would prove that this
woman is not the grand duchess,
for it is the only part of the body
which does not change (aside from
a slight increase in size) throughout
ones lifetime, Numerous authentic
photographs Of the dead Grand
Duchess Anastasia show that her
ears were slightly outstanding, a
defect which she tried to conceal by
wearing her hair long and hanging
to her shoulders. In shape they
were exactly like those of the Prince
of Hesse to which Madame Tchai-
kovska's ears have no resemblance
whatsoever.
Moreover, the general form of the
two faces is in mo- manner similar.
The real duchess possessed q much
broader forehead, highly.arched eye
brows and smaller mouth than the
present imposter, according to Mr..
Kroupenskys and her flat rect were
generally known. Another distin'
gushing mark was a small mole on
one shoulder.
