SAYS DON'T WED ORIENTAL 1 | Princess Hassan Points Out Fatuf | Mistake After Five Years' Trial. New York—“Never marry an Ori-| | ental—it's a fatal mistake,” said the beautiful Princess Hassan, who, be- | fore her marriage to a cousin of the khedive of Egypt, was Miss Ola | Humphrey of California, an actress. After flve years' absence from her na-' tive land, the princess has arrived from her home in London and she will { remain a few days at the Knickerbock- i i | . er before going to join her mother in i Oakland, Cal. The princess spoke feelingly and somewhat knowingly on the subject of | marriages between members of the | Oriental and Occidental natlons, for | her life as a member of the khedive's immediate family was one that was far from romantic and happy. “To begin with,” she sald, “an| American girl is far too independently brought up and too spoiled by her own countrymen to be dominated in the manner an Oriental expects his wife to be. You see, my meeting with the ! Prince Hassan was so romantic and | was so overpowered by his great manner and his magnificence that I warrled him impulsively after two months’ courtship. “I have always been impulsive and ! I shall always be go. My marriage with Prince Hassan should have taken sume of that quality out of me, bul it hasn’t. “1 know, however, enough to slu advice to other American girls and the advice is mever to marry people of Oriental origin or with Oriental strains in the blood. They can never under- stand each other and the woman will be the one who suffers.” The princess was wonderfully at- tired in a new Parisian frock and er- mine toque trigimed with sweeping aigrettes. The skirt of the frock, by the way, was made simply of a wide border of lace over nothing but chiffon. No pet- ticoats were worn underneath, “All the frocks are made in that fashion in Paris and London now, and no petticoats are worn,” lha added, CHILD GENIUS WAS A FAKE But the Wonderful Youngster Stirred All Vienna—Marvelous Verse.

IS 6,000 YEARS OLD {Once an Egyptian Princess, but Now Prized Property of Painter of Venice. Milan.—Much excitement has been occasioned in Venice over the recent discovery of .a human hand during dredging operations in the Giudecca canal. Experts declared that the hand, which was found hermetically sealed {In a wooden ‘box, had belonged to a H'emale child eight or ten years old. The police, convinced that they had |to do with a foul crime, were busy | trying to trace the murderous mutila- tor, when: the renowned oriental paint- er, Sigridr Mainella, who has resided | many years in the Venetian lagoons, iparrated how a wealthy Egyptian fam. {1y ,wishing to give him a gouvenir of his sojourn ‘in their native land, pre- sented him with what they described as-the mummified hand of an Egyptian princess, who had lived 6,000 years iago. Signor Mainella preserved the | relic religtously for a decade or more, when observing that the hand show- ed signs of decomposition, he fn- structed his valet to nail it securely In a box-and threw it into the canal, where It has recently turned up again.

Isn't it queer the sort of things we are ashamed of? queries a western ‘woman writer. How often do we hear people -apologizing profusely because they happen to live in an unfashion- sble part of town. They will explain and explain;ad nauseam how they came to be Jiving in that house and how very awkward it is having that class of neighbors. I have come to-the conclusion it is little short of a crime not to live in the Tashionable part of the city. And the relations. Everybody seems to be ashamed of at least one relation’” In‘most cases the only ones they are proud of are dead omes, a long time dead, and very remote re- lations at that. But the living rela- tions always seem to be a cause of shame—they never Wwill live in the right -districts, build the right kind verse in both German and Italtan.’ Itallan, it was explained, she - had learned owing to Bozen being near the German-Italian language frontier, where Italia Irredenta begins. Hupfer brought the child to Innsbruck and later to Vienna, where she was shown to learned men, who examined with bewilderment her hideously scrawled but wonderfully mature and finished verse. Newspapers published her “My Stars” and “My Heaven” with notes of exclamation. A lady Maecenas named Gaspard: got inter- ested in little Anna’s future-and prom- 1sed to give her a good education. But when separated from Herr Hup- fer aggd planted on"a farm near Press- burg, the child’s genius leemefl to evaporate.

Female relations will insist upon marrying undesirable husbands, and male relations always manage to acquire vulgar or dowdy wives. One stylish lady is wont to sigh demu.v as she murmurs “poor dear rge—peculiar wife, you know; I've t xrled but I really can’t include them in my social affairs, you know.” But of all the shameful shame pro- ducers’ the behavior of our babies s the shamiest. : Our ‘bables always will dirty their pinnies; ask for candy, wipe jammy fingers on the visitor’s coat, demand attention persistently and vociferous- 1y, knock over the tea cups, spread the cake crumbs all over the best carpet and perpetrate all the other hundred and one misdemeanors that the. dear Iambs are heir to.

Somehow those eyes were familiar, and yet— “Burt?’ she gasped. “This can’t be yuu?" “It can't be anyo: ed. “May I come in?” Blushing, she. stood aside to let him pass. In her surprise she had forgot ten even to be hospitable. He made his way into the parlor as though it were only yesterday that he had pald his last call. The room was little changed; at little changed as Ruth herself—and as primly precise. Even his photograph was still in the little leather frame on the mantel. He crossed the room and regarded it admiringly, though there ‘was little to call for admiration in: the soimewhat faded cabinet of the heavy jowled ponderous bulked man with 8 placent smile hovering on a rather weak mouth. Ruth stood beside him. “Can you wonder,” she asked, with a nervous little laugh; “that I did not know you for a moment?”’ “I don’t think you know me yet, was the unexpected reply. “Let’s sii down and get acquainted.” He looked toward the old horsehaf: covered sofa, but she moved toward s rocker by a stove. Beneath the beard the lips parted in a half smile and he sank into a nearby chalr. “Got in last night,” he rumbled, i answer to her question. “I'm only her¢ for a week.

She shook her head. She remembered only toc well. Burton Brooks had given up ¢ else,” he insist work and saw no chance for advance ment. She had broken her engage ment in a bitter letter in which she had upbraided him for his lack of con centration. She had been ready to for give and forget the day after, but i was too late. Burton had gone on the¢ midnight train. Whalenville was ¢ flag station and none knew his desti nation. That had been four years aga Evidently he had not forgotten. “Do you think it kind to spoil it al' by referring to my unfortunate let ter?” she asked patiently. “It wasn’t unfortunate,” he insisted “You don’t know what a lot of gooc that letter did me. That's what 1 came to tell you.” From his pnqketbook he drew out € sheet of tracing cloth and held i1 toward her, “There it is,” he -said “It's been my Bible these last fom years, “I'll admit that when I got it T was sore.
