M Florida community, finds
W. plenty OF things 10 worry
about, but its most intriguing prob
lem is what IS going TO happen on
BDay
For the benefit Of those who
haven't been keeping up with the
alphabetical calendar. B stands for
birthday, and B.Day is next May %,
the day on which Lucetta Thomas
will be- p years old.
When Lucetta comes of age, she
will have complete control of the
great fortune which, for most OF her
lifetime. has had a lot to do with
keeping her mother. Lucy Cotton
Thomas Ament Ham Magraw Eris-
tavi Tchitcherine, in the style 10
which she is accustomed. And since
Mama Lucys style has included the
acquisition OF many expensive items,
sHeh as-pillas and ermine coats and
five 80 husbands, the drain on
Lucetta's income hasn't been light.
Lucetta inherited her money from
her father, Edward r. Thomas, who
was the first Of Lucy's marital quin-
tet, but from her mother she in
herited much OF the beauty that once
commanded a high price in many of
Ziegfeld's shows.
One thing she didn't get from her
mother-her outlook on life. Serious
and studious as we'll as sophisticated,
she has disapproved of much that
went on at villa Lucia" the luxuri.
Gus estate on Biscayne Island. near
Miami Beach. even though il was
her money that paid large proper
ton Of the bills
There was, for example, the royal.
highness complex. After running
through four husbands, Mama Lucy
married one Of those Georgian
princes. This one was named Vladi-
mir EriStavi Tchitcherine, a d the
fact that he was a clerk in jewelry
store didn't seem TO tarnish his title.
Thereafter. when Lucy threw a
soiree at villa Lucia, her guests

ond home during some of the leaner
periods, are quite concerned about
possible tightening Of the purse
strings when Lucetta comes of age.
Lucy is probably giving the mat
ter considerable consideration too, al
though there doesn't seem to be
much she can do about it. There
have been many estimates of the
size of Lucetta's fortune and the most
conservative is about $3,000000
When her paternal grandmother,
Mrs. Ann Augusta Thomas, died re-
Gently in Virginia, it looked for a
while as though Lucetta's holdings
might be considerably augmented.
Grandma Thomas had million of
her own and a life interest in a
81, 100000 trust fund, and ii was re-
ported that she had bequeathed II all
to Lucetta and her half-brother, hand
some Or. Samuel (Samikins) Fin
ley Thomas.
But when her will was read, il de
veloped she had left her estate to
son, Dr. Harold E. Thomas. and not
a cent to Lucetta or Samikins be
cause, in my opinion, each of them
is adequately provided for finan-
cially." Lucetta, however, automati-
cally inherits one-sixth Of the income
from the trust fund.
on the last accounting, SCI, ,760
was withdrawn during 1914, of which
Lucetta's allowance was $1,700.
