Mme. Trost filled her house night after night with dinner parties at which the guests were usually rich men and young and pretty girls. Nothing was lacking that could appeal to the voâ€" luptary, and it was some of these orgies to which officers on leave from the front were sometimes invited. It was this which first attracted police attention. \ Her favorite entertainment was a reception "to view my mascot," as she termed the coffin, and she exâ€" plained to the startled guests that she kept it near at hand to reconcile her to the idea of death. Was Still Handsome. Speculation as to the origin of Mme. Trost was always rife, but she never gave details of her early years. Although fiftyâ€"five years of age, she still retained signs of the extreme beauty that was hers in youth. It was rumored that, for certain reasâ€" ons, she was told some years ago by the Austrian authorities that London would be a more desirable home for her than Vienna. | But the finest touch of the bizarre about Madame _ Bertha was her "vault," asâ€" the . irreverent servants called an upper room. This room was hung with sombre black curâ€" tains, and in the centre, mounted on trestles, was the most elaborate cofâ€" fin that undertakers ever made. It was of polished rosewood, finely worked and fitted with massive silâ€" ver mountings. On the nameâ€"plate was delicately â€" engraved "Bertha Trost." Dressed in this striking fashion she would drive through the streets in a landeau drawn by two Shetland ponies. Later she favored a pair of perfect grays. __ But the real centre of interest was the mysterious house at 4 Marlâ€" :borough Gate. Here the beauty speâ€" cialist installed furniture and hangâ€" ings of a most elaborate kind. Everyâ€" thing was decorated in rich tones of pink, and the paying guests were conducted from room to room, someâ€" times by girl pages attired in rich robes of the Louis XVI. period, what time Mme. Trost was in her favorite pose as Marie Antoinette. Some say that she actually claimâ€" ed to be the reincarnation of the French Queen. Certainly nothing pleased her better than to parade her magnificent rooms and display to her guests, ofttimes a curiously diverse‘ assembly, a gorgeous silk gown, an‘ exact copy of that worn by the un-‘ happy Queen. l The "business" was in reality merely a blind. Mme. Trost was for ’over twenty years in the pay of the German Government, and utilized those wonderful parties at 4 Marlborâ€" ough Gate for strictly "political" purâ€" | poses. There she mingled freely with many people who were in a position | to give information such as she needâ€" ;ed and was skilled in extracting. } | _ The "Lady of the Crinoline," as she was called, has been unmasked, and lLondon will see no more of her Vic-| torian gowns and poke bonnets. She has been deported as an undesirable alien. It was about this time that maâ€" dame suddenly removed all external signs of her manicuring operations from her "shop" and displayed â€" an elaborate facia indicating that she was "Bertha Trost, dealer in anâ€" tiques." Last December she moved to the house at Marlborough Gate, where she lived in considerable style, with a staff of seven servants, including â€" a butler, whose dignity of mein was the envy of the neighborhood. Mme. Bertha Trost knew her quite well by sight. The curious relic of bygone days regularly drove in the park, dressed in figured silks worn over an ample crinoline, and a poke bonnet perched on bunches of white curls, which she wore on each side of her beautifully tinted cheeks. Mme. Trost, with her early Victorâ€" ian getup, was ostensibly a beauty specialist with an exceedingly aristoâ€" cratic clientele, who patronized her "Beauty Shop" in the West End, and many of her clients even visited her at her beautiful house at Marlborough Gate, Hyde Park.

Zinc is often the hardest thing in the house to clean, especially under kitchen stoves, where it becomes badâ€" ly discolored.
