nanian servants that they de- sired. In the meantime. Mazda did her own housework, prepared their meals-and Carol helped wash the dishes.
 Actually" said Mme. Lupescu in an interview shortly after that time, i've live as thousands of young married people live who have been blessed by the church and approved by society. Our menage is simrle. We have three servants "a butler who drives Carols car when he is not at the wheel, a chambermaid and a wo- man cook.'
 They lived mostly by themselves, Carol keeping abreast of political developments in Europe and avia- tion (his hobby) by much reading and Mme Lupescu finding recrea- ton among her dogs and birds. She always loved dogs - at one time, when she was a girl, she had IS.
 Dogs understand through the heart" this strange woman once said. They do not judge by hu- man laws or standards"
 Lives Near First Wife
 Singularly enough Zizi Lambrino, Carols first wife, was living in an- other villa only a short distance away during the early days of Mime. I vi .;+ Carol.
 And how these two women hated each other.
 Tt was a youthful plunge into romance which turned into mar rlage because Caro-, was too decent and chivalrous to do otherwise" Mme. Lupescu snorted, contemptu- ously, referring to Carols first marital venture, as she accused Zizi Of vague plots to bribe her servants and perhaps poison her.
 That woman" shot back Zizi, in the war of words. She is the most common type of red-haired Ru- menian Jewess,"

 Carols marriage to Zizi Lam primo was a mistake of youth" she explained Shall I be the one 10 lead him into another such error? Never would I think of that.,'
 Again Carol said nothing.
 They continued to live blissfully, in open disregard of society's con- ventionst while Carol fought and wen a 10.00000o franc suit brought against him oy Zizi in Paris and his princess wife in Rumania ob- tained divorce on grounds of de- sertion.

 He was dropped from the Royal Civil List, which meant he lost his annual s60,000 allowance. But he | continued 10 enjoy an income from ! the vast Rumanian estates that old l King Carol I had willed him, and i his approximately s30,000 a year.
 From January, 1926, until June, 1880, Carol and his red-haired beauty continued their butterfly eX- stence. And then, as suddenly as he had joined her, he left her.
 By a;rplane Carol departed sc ,retly for Bucharest, landing there 1t midnight. Secretly, the stage rad been set for one of those amaz- ng political coups for which the are noted and with as
