Another exiled Queen of tragic destiny is
Nathalie OF Serbia, now living in convent in
Montparnasse.
Daughter Of a Russian general and Ru-
manian princess, the beautiful Nathalie was
married at Is to the prof1igate Milan, Crown
Prince Of the Obrenovitch dynasty, and found
herself a veritable foot ball Of conflicting Aus
trian and Russian intrigues. Austria was sup
porting the Obrenovitches and Russia was plot
ting to replace them by the KarageorgevitcheS,
the rival dynasty, by fair means or foul. It
was the beginning of the rivalry for control of
the Balkans that eventually led to the World
War.
Once Queen of Serbia, Nathalie became sus-
pect in the eyes Of Vienna, who persuaded King
Milan that his wife was intriguing in favor of
Russia. Milan exiled her to Wiesbaden and
there, with the help of the German authorities
kidnapped their son, Alexander Against the
wishes Of his mother, Alexander eventually
married Draga Mashin, ambitious young
woman who had been one of Nathalie's ladies
Of honor. and played more and more into the
hands OF Austria. From his residence facing
the royal palace, the Russian Minister engi-
neered bloody plot against the young couple,
and at dawn on June 9, 1903, they were slaugh-
tered in their beds and the bodies thrown into
the palace garden.
Heartbroken at seeing her dynasty wiped out.
Dowager Queen Nathalie fed to Paris, entered
a convent and his lived there in sadness for
10 years.
A MOTHER pitiful figure until his recent
death was young ex-Shah Ahmed, who
abandoned in 1925 the famous Peacock Throne
of Teheran for the fesnpots of Montmartre.
After many escapades the fat Persian king
of Kings" was lured into a trap by q gang of
blackmailers with the aid of decoy, or "come-
on" girl, and from that moment was harried
day and night for enormous sums. Il made
no difference where he hid--Paris Deauville,
Switzerland or the Riviera-the rogues bom-
barded him with threats that they would poison
his food unless he paid more. AS he had left
Persia largely through fear of being poisoned
by one Of his ambitious cousins, he found that
he was like the fish which had jumped from
the skillet into the fire.
One day about year ago the doctors sent
him to big modern hospital In Neuilly for
treatment for kidney trouble. There he found
peace. Installed in a magnificent sixth-fioor
suite served by efficient young nurses, protect
ed by innumerable barriers of employees and Q
secretary who stood at his door day and night,
and refusing to accept any mail or telephone
calls, Ahmed Shah foiled the blackmailers and
slept blissfully for the first time In years.
When his malady improved the doctors told
MIN that he could leave.
