BEHIND THE SCENES

With Rulers and Leaders of Wartime Europe By the Princess Radziwill Copjrht, 131Ä.

Mademoiselle Julie I'avalcanti de Yillen-t-uve. whose mother, the famous Countess de "illeneuve, was considered the most beautiful woman in Jmrop" for something like 40 years. Siie was u. fU'azilian, the wif of that rich Count of ViUenenve. the own'T of tiie hissest newspaper in Kio de Janeiro, who was for many ! years in the Ilrazilian diplomatic service and who occupied for a loni; time the post of minister in llrusbels. Madame de Villeneuve was c ertainly J he loveliest creature any one's imagination could conceive. Wherever she went people raved about her, and every artist of talent

In the second half of the last cen-jfor

tury wanted to paint hr portrait She held a prominent position everywhere. It is impossible to give an idea of the purity of her features, which tiho kept unimpaired until her death, at a relatively early age. She was hardly f.9 when she passed away, and looked only live and twenty. There v as not one wrinkle on her face, and ill-natured people used to say that she never laughed or even smiled, for fear of contracting the smoothness of her skin. The countess 'was certainly tine of the wonders of her sex, and one may almost say of Europe, and no one who has had the advantage of contemplating her imposing personality can ever forget her. She entirely annihilated every other woman present when she entered a room, and I she made the loveliest face appear old and faded .besides hers. Madame de Villeneuve had two daughters, who. though handsome, had not inherited her particular and wonderful charm. The eldest married Count Goertz, the head of one of the wealthiest and greatest of German families, and was the only creature w ho, if ajl that one hears is to be believed, inspired with a lasting aTeetion Kaiser Wilhelm II, who was seen to shed tears when she died about 1." years ago, and who was so overcome by his errotiou at her funeral that he had to be led out of the church during tho service. It seems, also, that the Empress Augusta who generally showed herself most philosophical in regard to her husband' flirtations, could not restrain her jealousy in regard to the fair countess, and was heard to express her satisfaction when death removed from her path! this dangerous rival. The Youngest Dauaiiter. Madame de Vllleneuve's youngest daughter became the wife of Prince Francis of Sayn Wittgenstein, with whom she settled in Munich, where she resides to the present day. She was a very hard mother for her own children, ano showed herself not only neglectful of them, hut also harsh and unfeeling with her girls, whom she wished above everything to make bri'Iiant marriages. In this ambition s.u succeeded, for the youngest was lucky enough to at1 tract the heir to the many millions of the old Prince Henckel von Donl.t rsmarck, w hose fortune is consideied to be the largest in the whole of tJermany after that of Bertha Krupp. P.ut the eldest t ho Princess Eleonore, did not show herself so tractable in regard to her mother's wishes as her sister had l ern, and she refused one after the other all the occasions which were ! oiiereu uer to esiannsn nerseir as j well as her parents desired. She was in love with the brother of two of her best friends and companions the future queen of the Hf'gians. and the crown princess of Bavaria. Puke Ludwig Wilhelm. They had been brought up almost a brother and sister, the estate of Prince Wittgenstein being situated quite close to the villa where Duke Charles Theodore of Bavaria was living on the diores of the lake, of T-i?..rn... n.l ll,rv f 1 1 In 1.. --- n ,i ten kit i u t U Ith hifh rTh u lu.n th.a- t ..1 most children. The Wittgensteins jail the royal houses in Germany, and from that point of :ew. a marriage between a daughter of that familv. aful t(u, on an lf.jr of it bavarian I prime, worn nt have offered ariv Ui..C iO N . IH'IM u:t ytung lu'Opie were poor, and Wittgenstein would the Princess not luar of I tuch a t h. in-;. Trit knl Into Marriage. '.lie iriatos tt.at she ulrt liT tia .ghter a story she Ibid invented ab..at the prince, in which hf was repiesenttd as being the lover of a beautiful actress who was the fashion in Munich at the time. Elenore was so hint, and disgusted, that he consented in her anscr to sive her hand to the reiKüiPi; prune of Sv lionhüUig-Waldtnbourg. w ho had since a ng time entreated her to do so. They were married m haste, and the bride had the time to repent at leisure, for she m soon discovered

that the man to whom he founl herself houroJ was a brutal charuc

' u-r who treated her with an utter , , . , 11.1 'w.int of consideration anl who al-in-t lmtnediatelv after th'ir ruarriase forsook hr for other women of the lowest kind of c haracter. The proud Kirl was reduced almost to despair; the more so that she found out that h had been tricked into a union which had brought her nothing hut sorrow and tars. At last she could hear it no lonser. and she left the heiutiful tastie of Waldenboum and returned to Munich, whf-r" she led a ery retired and sad kind of existence, estranged even from her nmtheV. whom she could not brins herself to forciw: for the subterfuse which had wrecked her whole life. Pate, however, showed itself for or.ee kind to this victim of maternal ambition. The war broke out and Prince Schonhourtr. who had joined at onee,svas killed in one of the battles that took place near Kheims at the very beginning of the campaign. He left his widow a rich woman, and sh c-ould begin to look once more toward the future with joyful eyes. Hut then arose another difficulty. The princess was known to have ardent French symputhies, and the king of Bavaria would not hear of a member of his family rnurryins a woman who did not approve of the ruthlessness of German methods. He put in hia energetic veto to the marriage and for months poor Princess Eleonore and the duke had to wait and wait a happiness which seemed to ho eontinually escaping them. It seems, however, that their constancy has at last been rewarded and that their wadding took place a few weeks ago. History does not say whether the bride has become converted to the brutality of German "Kultur" or whether it is she who has persuaded her husband to renounce it. T . P. O'Connor Pays High Tribute To Abe Lincoln SPRINGFIELD. 111.. Feb. la. Thomas Power O'Connor, Irish nationalist leader In parliament, speaking" at a Lincoln day celebration here tonight, said the name of the martyred president, whose last resting; place in Springfield had become a "flaming torch" that tires the patriotism of every American' whether at home or facing death on Europe's battlefields. "What American can be cowardly when Lincoln's courage so inspires'."' demanded the speaker. "What American be selfish when his unselfishness is recorded on every page of history? What American can prefer the claims of ambition or party In the face of his forgetf ulness of all personal and partisan feeling before an imperiled nation? "What American can entertain or even tolerate the thought of a divided allegiance in the face of his passionate patriotism and of the inflexible resolution with which he fought for a I united nation V" ! No one, the speaker added, could doubt where Lincoln would stand if in the crisis through which the country is now passing he was still its ruler. "The first and most fundamental of Lincoln's convictions was passionate love of liberty and passionate hatred of slavery," the speaker continued. He said there is no difference in essentials between the enslavement of the Negro "and such enslavement as Germany today preaches in her gospel of world domination and practices while her sinister mastery lasts in Belgium. France and Serbia." "Today, as Lincoln said, two principles stand face to face and ever will continue to struggle the common light of humanity and the divine right of kinss."

Here's the answer to the whole story: If very week when he gets his salary he lays aside part of it in the bank to earn more for him. This money earns for him four percent interest" every year. In a little over eighteen years that amount will have doubled itself if the interest' is left in the bank to accumulate. In other words, he gets money that labor can not earn. Think it over.
