LOSES GIFT OF KING LEOPOLD

Present From Belgium’s Monarch Is Dropped in Gotham Street Car. New York special: A ring which once belonged to Cleo de Merode, which she says she received as a gift from King Leopold of Belgium, has been lost in a Broadway car and the sympatnetic public 19 asked to help to recover it. The circlet contains a ruby-eyed serpent trying to swallow a diamond. Cleo, piqued at the cessation of the King’s affections, presented the ring to her teacher, William S. Remenyi, and he lost it.
