Of ours but eventually it resulted in conflict

Her husband she asserted switched his
attitude toward her almost before the honey
moon was over. 1t was rapid change from
"a romantic lover to a husband who looked
upon me as chattel as property-as just
something secondary in his life"
This constrasted sharply to his attitude
during the fifteen-month romance, eliminated
with marriage in New York in 1885.

dark. flashing eyes. gives the husband she has
just fired, a fine reference as a fiance, before,
but not after taking She said
ours was a perfect romance For those
fifteen months, we rode the clouds of happi-
ness l was captivated by his graciousness
his capacity for good times, his gay mode Of
living
He was a Prince Charming fresh from
the pages of a story book No girl could have
been happier than he made me in those
months.
During his absences / received nightly
telephone calls from him. Every day he had
flowers delivered to me - beautiful things.
and always white ones. Roses and orchids"
After all this grand build-up came the
wedding and a gay honeymoon in Europe
where the first signs appeared that the per-
feet lover not going 10 be quite as
advertised. Her husband and his friends had
alarmingly modernistic even futuristic ideas
about marriage. The first time he forgot TO
come home. the Count seemed panied at her
questioning and. she says gave out this
explanatory comment:

il, don't YOU"
And now the Countess says:
Can one really streamline anything as
old as life itself ?"

sentimentalist having thus laid bare his inner
most heart to Harmony, then mailed the let
ter, not in a letter box, but the garbage can,
where his wife got the message and began to
understand
The Count son Of a Russian sugar mag
nate was born in Kieve, TO a life of wealth
and luxury but after the revolution found
himself like the other White Russians an ex-
lie with empty pockets.
Yet by combining his skill at engineering
and painting he was able to earn as high as
S35 900 a year making such motionless OBJ
ects as refrigerators look as II they could be
shot like shell through space with a mini
mum of air resistance. Air resistance is not
terribly important TO such sheltered things,
but his designs also reduced sales resistance.
He streamlined automobiles both artist
cally and scientifically. Streamlinng by the
way, is defined asa scientific principle based
on the resistance Of moving objects 70 wind
pressure"
The present vogue was brought into math-
ematical terms by the Swiss family Bernouli,
who expressed it in the equation:
p plus one half PV square equals Constant.
While this means that streamlning is a
constant principle it does not mean that hus-
bands devoted to streamlining are necessarily
constant TO their wives.
Another scientific formula is that the at
traction Of a streamlined blonde upon hus-
band is in inverse ratio to the square Of the
distance between the bodies, especially if the
wife is an increasing variable. Astronomers
say that the moral of this formula is TO keep
all heavenly bodies several light years distant.
The formula also proved that Lillian
Harvey. famous as the modern European eX-
ponent Of streamining could not have been
the bright star that pulled the Count out of
his matrimonial orbit because she wasn't even
in the country at the time In fact the blonde

upon some vague suspicious she had held
because, as the Countess later explained:
