in the otherwise perfect husband but rather
his 1000 supreme perfection. 1t would have
hurt the lady's feelings, in fact been almost in
sulting, had he given his customary answer:
Certainly darling with the greatest Of
pleasure"
So Lucy wasn't angry at the refusal and
added the following string to her request:
"Of course, IL you see that don't like
it, know you will be glad to come back and
marry me again"
Some think that Mr.. Magraw is laying the
foundation for that very thing now, by at
lacking the divorce. even II Lucy doesn't
know yet that she doesn't like IT,
For several days Mr. Magraw stuck TO his
great refusal, then yielded to the inevitable
and signed the papers. Lucy, her outgoing
husband and her incoming one had nice.
sociable. cocktail party together and she
agreed, for once In her life, that the divorce
proceedings should be conducted without news
paper publicity. This proved good judgment
because exploding il as a bombshell won mere
publicity in the end
The morning after the cocktail party, Lucy,
the Prince and a retinue OF lawyers motored
down to Key West on the extreme tip Of
Florida and. with the aid Of Mr.. Magraws
papers magically won a divorce that very
same day.
Also she married Vladimir then and there,
In a civil ceremony at Key West. Perhaps
the ever-obliging Mr.. Magraw would have
given away the bride had he been asked to
do so, but this function was performed by At
torney McGinty who also supervised the entire
performance, just as he did when his fair client
took the title to some valuable piece of real
estate
Certain humorous touches were not miss
ing from the wedding. Right amidst the d-
vorce trial, Lucy suddenly developed a dis
like towards her wedding ring. She put her
foot down. A member of the retnue had
to scurry all the way TO Miami and back to
exchange the $30-trinket into something more
adequate for future Princess.
Returning TO Miami, Lucy Immediately
proceeded TO inform the world Of her new
social status.
She made personal tour Of the stores
serving her household TO inform them that
she was now the Princess Vladimir Eristav-
Tchitcherine and had to be addressed as
Your Highness." She almost made a scene
when one Of the stunned shopkeepers answered
her as follows:
Yes Mz' Magraw, mean Mz' Thomas
I'm sorry, / mean Miz' er, say that again.
please"

point-de-rose Alencon lace, a hat with three
nodding feathers and all her jewelry.
The bridegroom looked unusually pale dur
ing the ceremony No wonder-Lucy had been
almost an hour late. First, her flowers had
failed TO arrive. Then the taxi took her TO
the wrong side OF the church. But she got
there--the traditional Russian wedding cere-
mony was performed with great pomp.
The Russian Nobility Association issued
a bulletin pointing out sternly that the Prince
was not Prince. His mother was a Geor-
gian who owned some land and the transla-
ton of the Georgian equivalent for land
owner into Russian makes him a prince in
name only. EristaT was an Italian name
and no such title existed in Russia before the
collapse In 1917.
Not waiting TO take the count from this
punch, Lucy went In for royal atmosphere
harder than ever. The elite Of Palm Beach
and Miami had pretty thoroughly eliminated
themselves but now there was a further
purge Of all persons who could not call the
couple Your Royal Highnesses" with per-
fectly straight face and no suspicion Of a
wink or smirk.
American-born servants got the gate" at
the Villa Lucia, replaced by foreign refugees
10 whom Eristavi gave orders in Russian
Yet some joker persuaded Princess Lucy to
order the orchestra to play Marching
Through Georgia"
The most serious elimination was Lucy's
trusted legal adviser, who was dismissed on
the ground that the descendant of the re-
nowned lawyer Cicero could attend to all
matters Of the law. without help. To her
constantly shrinking circle Of eligible guests,
Lucy telephones as follows:
You will be at my home at SIS p. M.
When Royalty invites you, it is a command"
Every guest must be on hand punctually
but. having assembled. they must wait at
least half an hour before their hostess greets
them. II is one Of those Royal prerogatives
which cause revolutions.
The languid conversation is several times
interrupted by the maid who poses in the
doorway. saying:
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-06-14

She also called up the society editor Of
the Miami Herald saying the Princess Eris-
tav-Tchitcherine wanted TO speak to her The
flabberghasted switchboard operator asked her
TO spell the name. "P-r.i-n-oe-s-s E-r-i-s-t-a-vi
T-c-h-i-t-c-h-e-r-i-n-e," chirped Lucy prompt
ly and joyously.
Response and congratulations over Lucys
new elevation Of rank were painfully slight
among the Surf Club set, presided over by the
impeccable Alfred Bartons. This colony. which
Lucy liked to call her very own while she
was married to Magraw. gave the newlyweds
the straight cold shoulder after a deplorabe
incident that took place at one Of Lucy's post
nuptia receptions.
In her divorce papers. Lucy had accused
Magraw "of extreme cruelty and with ha-
bitual indulgence in a violent and ungovern-
able temper In presence Of others" She had
complained that 1T made the performance Of
her marital duties impracticable caused her
intense mental pain and suffering"
That was all right One has to charge
something But she continued performing the
same marital duties painlessy towards her
new husband when he INDUCED in an outburst
Of temper against one Of her guests in Lucy's
own drawing room.
The woman editor of the Miami Daily
News, Mabel Frampton, berated Hitler and
his gang for their inhuman cruelties In Eu-
rope. Flaring up, Prince Vladimir warned the
newspaper woman about Hitler's black book
He said an extensive file was kept on all
Americans who spoke unexpectedly of the
German infallibility 1t would be put TO good
use when Hitler would assume control over
the USA in the near future.
This was before Pearl Harbor but the ac-
count Of this encounter cut off the budding
social aspirations of the new Princess and
her consort in the root. So much so, that TO
this very day, many people refuse to recog-
nize Lucy Cotton Thomas last marriage and
refer to her as the former Mrs Magraw" or
Princess Cotton Pantes"
The honeymooning Princess consoled her
self with the fact that the papers, whatever
they might say Of her, were printing her
full title. So she rewarded them with the
following stupendous bit Of information:
