the question* o£ scanty
drer.K recently raised in the Ohio leg- ]
inlature, before which a bill "to pre-
scflbe the fashions to be worn by the
wwnen of the State" has just come.
Mr. tftyir said:
"The affectation of attire, the scant ,
clothing of the legs and ankles, the
open blouse and the loud man nets,
which are the natural acoompain-
mect of these fads, make one sigh
for the olden styles, which gave b«t-
ter premise for husband, home and |
chJWreb . , .
A man may flirt with am h girls,
but whun the time comes for him to
talcs for better for worse. It will be
a fclrl of a more modest and winsome
type he chooses.''
Here is an opinion and a remedy j
-from Sir Arthur Wing Pinero, the
famous dramatist:

Late Henry of Reuss, Seated at
Desk, Was Informed That He
Was Out Driving.
By FRITZ JACOBSOHN
Special Cable to The American.
BERLIN. April 26.—Prince Henry
of Keuss, who has Just died at Gilez,
the capital of his famous little old
principality. was a lunatic like the
recent Kin* of Bavaria in fact, he
ha» been crazy for the lart 21) years.
I niilte the Bavarian monarch’s luna
cy. that of Prince Henry was not of a
violent or suicidal character In fact,
he was Just an amenable Imbecile.
He was allowed to move about his
people and chatter with any one he
met. One of his chamberlains has
told your correspondent the following
story of the Prince, which, It is said,
! has not yat been published:
Went Driving at Desk
The Prince loved outdoor exercise,
but at the doctors did not care to have
him make too frequent practice ot
these wanderings, they made him ac
tually believe he was driving in his
park, while in reality he was in his
studio.
When the Prime would express a
wish to go out driving, his secretary
used to ibv. "All right, your blgll-
and the Prime would be sealed
at hi* writing table, with hat und
coat on. He did not move, but he was
thoroughly convinced he was driving
through the country.
After an hour of this immobility,
the secretary would say. “I believe it
is time to return to the castle, as it is
getting a little cold."
One of Richest Germans.
The Prince, without a word, would
seat himself on the other side of his
desk and again, without moving,
would allow' himself to be driven
home, when he alighted from the desk
much comforted by the outing
The Prince was one of the richest
men In Germans Hi* two legitimate
successors are also lunatics and the
Reuss Government is now passing
into the hands of the young Reuss
line. i

Beggar Near Cemetery Gives Thought
of Work to Classic Dancer.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS. April 26 Isadora Duncan’*
mother love, which she is no longer
abb* to tkvisit on her two children,
drowned la^t week with their nurse in
an automobile, will within the next
few days be used to minister the sick
and wounded in the Balkans. The
stage will never see her again.
Through her friends the noted
dancer has announced that within the
next day or two she will leave for the
Balkan* to see If in ministering to
others she can forget In part the
wound to her own heart.
It was on the way to the funeral of
the two little ones hi the Pere Lacli-
aiye Cemetery that Jho idea of joining
the Red Cros came to Miss Duncan.
An aged beggir at the gate of the
historic burial ground, his arms
stretched out for alms from those that
passed, caught the artist’s eyes

Brave in Her Sorrow.
“She Is so brave." exclaimed one of
her cloae friend® in tone* of admira

those around Iter. It Is remarkable
the way she Has held up since the ter
rible accident, and it Is to drench her
self In the sorrows of the world an
that she may forget her own that she
has decided to give up the stage."
Mies Duncan's grief is double deep,
for she and her friend* feel that the
children might have been saved had 1t
not been for the petty offlctousness of
some of the Paris policemen who
reached the scene of the accident
shortly after the big tar had plunged

BERLIN, April 26.-Some of th®
halo of the Chief Promotor of Peace
In the world, which the Kaiser has
spent years in placing around hi*
prow has departed from him, and
many even among those who flrmly
believe in his sincere love of peace
are asking themselves what the
Kaiser's real Intentions are. Does he
desire \e end his reign in peace or
does he want to make a beiated ef
fort to win military laurels on the
battlefield ?
That a paper so closely Connected
with the foreign department for so
many years as the "Koelnische Zei-
tung" should on its own responsibil
ity indulge, in a violent attack, which
was certainly absolutely uncalled for.
upon France, was absolutely incredi
ble to all sensible German*, and In
spite of the official rebuke which wai )
administered to the paper through the
"Norddeutsohe Algemeine Zeitung."
everybody here still believes that the
offensive article was inspired from
Berlin.
Why Change in Wedding?
This impression was furthermore
strengthened by the statement in a
French paper that a member of the
Italian parliament had informed the
French Government that the Kaiser
had secretly asked the government of
Italy if it would be ready for war in
October next. The statement was de
nounced as a deliberate lie and the
official denial was supposed to be suf
ficient to bury this "canard." but why
people here are asking themselves,
was the wedding of Princess Victoria
Louise, which was originally fixed for
October 24 suddenly changed to take
place next month'.’
it is safe to predict now that there
will be no war with France this fall.
France will be too well prepared, and
the armies of Russia will be ready to
stand by their country’* ally, but who
Is able to say what might have hap
pened if the Kaiser’s secret had not
leaked out? Everybody knows Em
peror William’s impulsiveness, and it
is not unreasonable to suppose that he
may have fixed upon the one hun
dredth anniversary of the overthrow
of Germany of Napoleon’s yoke as the
proper time to defeat and humiliate
France, which Is rapidly growing
stronger, richer and more patriotic.
Kaiser “Intoxicated.”
Emperor William is living in a • on-
tlnuous atmosphere of great military
celebration*, each one of which tends
to convince him more than ever of
the irresistible strength of his army,
and all these army festivals with their
flow of martial oratory, might well in
toxicate even a less sensitive and am
bitious brain than his. Especially
when the ever-Increasing number of
Socialist members in the Reichstag Is
warning him that the clay may not be
far away, when the German army
may begin to dwindle into final in
significance. because the Reichstag
will refuse to go on robbing the peo
ple to provide money for soldiers and
guns.
Another successful war against
France would be the only thing which
could make the army popular in Ger
many and stem the tide of Socialism
and that the Kaiser may have thought
of using this desperate means to fur
ther his own Ideas, Is by no means
impossible or even unlikely.

DIVINERS TRUCE
Wielders of Magic Wand Prove
Claim of Powers to Cel

Special Cable to The American.
PARIS. April 26.—A number ( ,f
celebrated scientists recently tested
the power* of four wielders of the
divining-rod in the Bols de Vincennes
A large deserted quarry underlies
a portion of the wbod, and the di
viners were asked to point out the
underground galleries and shafts. At
the end of the experiment their state
ments were to be compared by M.

The first man with the dlvlnlng-
rod was H. Pe La prat, a sturdy peasant
who carried a supple forked wand of
hazen. After walking round on the
grassy slope to measure the extent of
the canty he gave the result of his ob
servations to M. Vlre. saying that the
cavern was over seventeen yards deep
and that It was quite dry.
The other competitors used wands
of whalebone, maboo, and copper.
Three other underground pits were,
like the first, marked out by them
with bits of paper, with the approx
imate depth. M. Probst, the last *0

as to indicate, somewhat vaguely it

off from the main shaft, the site of
which he had marked out or. the

BERLIN, April 26.—Previous dec
larations that she would never wed a
titled foreigner and the German Em
peror’s objections will hardly stop the
marriage of Miss Nancy Leishman,
daughter of the American Ambassa
dor, to the Duke of Croy.
Positive announcement has been
made by her mother that the engage
ment between the pair is an assured
fact, and the wedding will take place
some time between now and mid
summer
I have not heard that either the
German Emperor or the Phnperor of
Austria has offered any objection to
the projected marriage o f my daugh
ter and the Duke of Croy." said Mr*.
John G A. Leishman to Tho Sunday
American correspondent to-day.
This is the first official announce
ment that the marriage is to take
place. It sets at test all rumors, neg
atives ail denials.
Two other foreign noblemen have
already fallen before the charm and
beauty of member* of the Leishman
family, and Miss Nancy’s two sisters
are now the Countess Louis de Oony-
aut-Biron and the Duchess Seri-Perl-
got of Bavaria.
The wedding la ii .ely to take place
in Pari*, where the Leishmans have
a house at 12 Square du Bois de
Boulogne. Mrs. Leishman and the
bride-to-be left Berlin for Paris earlv
this week to give attention to that
sll-imoprtant matter, the trosseau.
This match, of which German so
ciety is not yet officially aware. Is un
doubtedly an affair of the heart, pure
and simple. Karl, thirteenth Duke of
Croy. has been ardently In love with
the vivacious American ever since he
made her acquaintance a year and n
half ago. and wooed her (Industriously
until he won her at the beginning of
last winter
Duke Handsome Man.
The duke is one of the handsomest
and most striking officers in the Ger
man Army. He stands 6 feet 1 inch,
and has an athletic figure, with a full
head of thick, brown hair and pierc
ing black eyes. Unlike most Gorman
guardsmen, he affects a smootn-
ghaven. ‘American" face. He is a
little more than five years older than
his fiancee, who Is not yet T9.
In ending an unusually notable ca
reer in Berlin society by becoming
the Duchess of Croy, Miss Leishman
will enter one of the most aristocratic
families in Europe, with a lineage
traced to before John I of Croy (134b-
1415). which entitles it to high place.
The family regards itself as at least
sem!-royal The founder of the house
in the twelfth century was Prince
Markus, eon of King Andrea of Hun
gary. The present Croy family, of
which Mias Irishman’s fiance is ihe
offic ial head, la both Belgian and Ger
man. with seats in Belgium. Bavaria
and Prussia.
The Duke's sisier. Isabella, was re
cently married to one of the grand
sons of the present Prtnce Regent of
Bavaria, which linked the family
with two nephews of the Kaiser,
S?igismund and
were not shown off to full advantage ! Princes Friedrich
at the court functions under the old ! and Friedrich Karl of
lighting.
Prussia and
ancient Bavarian family, famed
German banking history.
Born at Brussels.
The Duke himself was born in the
ancestral home at Brussels. In ad
dition to this establishment, he owns
a great manor house and estate south
of Munich, another estate at Dulmen.
in Westphalia, and extensive lands
and forests in the valley of the Rhine.
His present official domicile is Pots
dam, where he is an officer in the
elite regiment of the Kaiser’s army,
the Gardes du Corps. His income is
said to be about *40,000 a year.
The Duke’s father has been dead
seven years and the management of
the family’s estates has not been
actively looked after in the mean
time. The Duke expects to give up
his military career on his marriage
and devote himself entirely to the
management an i development of his
properties, believing that personal at
tention to them will result in a great
Increase in their earning capacity.
Several noblemen have courted
MUr Nancy In vain. Americans here
vow she has refused the hand and
title of an Italian prince, an Austrian
count, a Russian duke, a French
marquis and a Prussian, the. hand
some Count Fugger. for whom, gos
sip had It, Princess Victoria Louise,
the Kaiser's only daughter, conceived
a girlish, romantic affection.
But, sad to tell, there are obstacles
In tho way of the possible happiness
of the American Princeas and the
German aristocrat.
Kaiser Consent Needed.
The ardent young dukes must ob
tain Kaiser William'? consent, and
the Kaiser does not favor the match.
Tt is said. too. that de Croy, because
he has inherited Hungarian titles,
must gain the approval of old Em
peror Joseph.
But a French title, also Duke of
Croy. was conferred on the then head
of the house as comparatively late as
1768. 8o that if he marries Miss
Irishman in France she will be the
Duchess of Croy, whether or not their
imperial highnesses of Germany and
Austria-Hungary are pleased so to
recognize her.
Mrs. Leishman took Miss Nancy to
Oberhof. in the Hungarian- forest,
la9t winter that she might enjoy at
that resort skating, tobogganing,
skiing and such sports of which she Is
fond. There the Duke of Croy was
introduced to her, and very soon his
attentions became devoted.
Known to European Society.
Miss Nancy is better known in the
society of several European capital*
