Grand Duchess Loves To Dance the Tango By LA RACONTEUSE. Special Cable to The American. PARIS, Dec. 13.—Go to the Cafe de Paris, In the Avenue de l’Opera, almost any night after the theaters close, and you will see a tall, shape ly. beautiful and distinguished looking lady, past her first youth, perform ing the Argentine national dance, with all the grace and abandonment of a “chica,” and if you are an American, of the type immortalized by Charles Dana Gibson, you will find it very easy to get an introduc tion to her and a chance to place youf arm around her still slender and supple waist. The lady is the Grand Duchess Anastasia of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, born a Grand Duchess of Russia, mother of Queen Alexandrine of Den mark and mother oft he future Em press of Germany. In love with the tango from the first moment it came to France, she seems to find a pe culiar charm in dancing it in public, since the day it was forbidden by her daughter’s father-in-law, the Kaiser.

American Society Leaders Moving Spirits in Historic Societies of the Republic. By MARQUIS DE CASTELLANE. Special Cable to The American. PARIS, Dec. 33.—I notice with pleasure a movement among Ameri can women to Join our useful and ar tistic and philanthropic wdcietles. Three of these societies are partlcu- j larly popular among the more fash- I enable Paris - American women. j These are the "Friends of Versailles,’’ j the "Friends of Fontainebleu," and the “Friend* of the Louvre." The names indicate their objects. The Friends of Versailles do all In their power to enhance the ancient glories of that royal town. The cha teau Is as precious to them as the ap ple of on# ’s eye. The grand trianion and the little trianion are to them most prized gems. The members of \ the society of the Friends of Ver sailles will permit no act of vandal ism that they can prevent President an American. Although necessarily a French so ciety, it* president Is a distinguished American the Marquise DeOanay, formerly Miss Ridgeway, of Philadel phia I notice that there are many royalists in the society, doubtless be cause they flock to the protection of the far-famed chateau built by the mo.* t magnificent of the Bourbons, Louis XIV'. Similarly the Friends of Fontaine- bleu work for it. Here the glories of Napoleon strive for recognition among those of Francis I And ladies of Im perialistic tendencies, like the Mar- Guise DeDion and the Princess Murat, alTcct this society. Those of profes sedly artistic tastes Join the Friends of the Louvre. , Then we have the society known as the "Friends of Old Paris." Their struggle is the hardest. They do their best to preserve those old buildings of a special historic interest. But prog ress bars their way, and they are con tinually at war with architects, to " hom they supply the adjective "van dal Those societies and such as these welcome the co-operation of | American women. Such co-operation means much for the preservation of { the ancient glories of France. Has Intellectual Side. There is a distinctly intellectual side to these societies which Ameri can women greatly appreciate. There are high-class lectures which are I given under their auspices. For ex ample, the latest of these learned dis courses was pronounced by M. Ga briel Hanotaux, formerly Minister of Foreign Affairs. The lecturer dealt with the Count DeChambord, the lost of the Bourbons. Even at the risk of offending some I royalists, he told how that cause fail ed In the years immediately succeed- I ing the establishment of the republic, even when royalism was strong in France. of well-known American ladles who have joined one or another of our friendly societies are Mrs. and Miss Gebhardt, Mrs. George Audenried, the Marquise DeWentworth, Miss Hilton and the Countess DeCoetlogen. ‘Wit f Entertains by Taking Piano Apart Special Cable to The American. PARIS, Dec. 13.—A Paris wit, M. Gallpaux, is well known for his amus ing monologues. Recently at an even ing party his hostess was particular ly pressing that he should entertain. M. Gallpaux at last consented. "I must have a hammer and a screwdriver," he said, i will give you a monologue on the way in which | musical instruments are made.” . The tools were brought, and the humorist began to take to pieces the grand piano, keeping up a' running stream of amusing patter. At last j the piano lay a tangle of wires and keys on the drawing room floor. The | applause was sincere. "The only thing is,” whispered M. | Gallpaux to his overlnslstent hos- j tess, “I have not the faintest idea j how to put it together again."
