The Grand Duchess Marie of Russia, with her husband, Prince Poutiatine, runs a little embroidery factory in the Harlem of Paris. This, in fact, is the _jcompany which her brother, Grand Duke Dimitri, is endeavoring to "float." By this means he aims to give employ: ment to emigrees of noble birth who, like himself, are willing to work. In the workroom the writer found a dozen embroidery machines ticking off thousands of minute stitches and bent over them a dozen members of the Russian nobility working for a On the Lay. -- "Does that hen lay for you?" é "Oh, yes--and I lay for the eggs," Legitimate Pride.

Her three daughters, wards of the late Czar, dance in the Follies chorus and the little old lady comes every night as their chaperon. Escape Over Icy Waters. Four women--three girls and the mother--creeping on hands and knees through actual snow and slush to gain the firmer foothold of the ice! They dare not go back. They dare not go forward. They kneel in the icy waters, their heads and bodies covered with sheets, white like the surrounding teen 2d nineteen. When it is darker they creep slowly across the frozen sea to Finland. From there they make their way to France. The daughters could do nothing ex- cept dance. But how they could dance! They earned $50 a month, a fortune to them, and saved themselves and their mother from starvation. Thére are royal and noble exiles in other places than Paris. Former King Ferdinand is "resting" in Switzerland. Bavaria's royal household transferred itself to the Alps and the heads of the Hohenzollerns, as all the world knows, are in Holland.
