GRAND DUCHESS MARIE
She Wanted to Marry So That She Could
Wear Silk Stockings
It was my privilege, not long
ago, to be a guest in the home of
a princess—the Grand Duchess
Marie, of Russia. Her uncle was
Alexander the third, Czar of Rus
sia. Her cousin was Nicholas the
second, the last Czar of Russia;
and her playmates were the
daughters of the Czar of Russia.
She is probably the most famous
royal personage in the Western
Hemisphere.
She told me an astonishing
thing about herself. She said
that during the first half of her
life, she had been timid and shy
and that she had suffered severe
ly from an inferiority complex.
Born into the wealth and
glamour of the mighty Romanoff
family that had ruled Russia for
three hundred years, she was so
important that, even as a child,
she rode in a golden coach, drawn
by three pairs of white horses,
and surrounded by mounted
hussars in scarlet uniforms.
And she was so famous that
crowds would gather on the side
walks and stand for an hour for
the privilege of catching but a
glimpse of her royal highness as
she passed by. Yet she, a prin
cess, a Grand Duchess of Russia,
suffered acutely from an in
feriority complex. Sounds in
credible, doesn't it?
Her childhood training had a
lot to do with it. She never
knew a mother's love, for her
mother died when she was a year
and a half old; and her father
married a second time, and this
time, he married a woman who
was not of royal blood, so he was
banished from Russia and his
property was taken away from
him. So the little princess was
brought up very largely by
strangers—by nurses and gov
ernesses and teachers.
Her tutors kept her in ignor
ance of the power and prestige
that were hers by right of royal
birth; and since sons of the royal
family in the past had aroused
bitter resentment by being too
arrogant, her teachers were or
dered to put humility into her
little soul. And they did, all
right.
She told me that she was rear
ed in the most "rigorous simpli
city." Those were her exact
words—"rigorous simplicity." She
said that if she had wasted a
piece of bread as big as her
thum-nail, she would have been
punished for it. If she dropped

a crumb on the floor, she had to
pick it up and put it back on the
table. And her food was, very
simple and very plain. Fre
quently, she had nothing but
bread and milk for supper.
Her clothes were extremely
plain, too. Although she lived
among paintings and works of
art that were priceless, and al
though the royal family of Russia
was worth hundreds of millions
of dollars, nevertheless, this prin
cess wore cotton dresses and cot
ton gloves and cotton stockings
right up to the time of her mar
riage. In fact, she told me that'
orte reason why she wanted to
marry was the hope that she
could have silk stockings after
she was married.
The princess told me that she
never knew what a real home
was; that her childhood wa§ sad
and lonely, and that her grand
mother, Queen Olga of Greece,
was the only person in the world
who gave her any real apprecia
tion of what warm love and
maternal tenderness could be.
Marie was so hungry for affec
tion that she wanted to fling her
self into her grandmother's arms;
but she said, "I was so little used
to caresses that I did not know
how to begin."
When she was sixteen, she
wanted a mandolin; but she
didn't have the courage to ask
her uncle for it. She was afraid
he would refuse her. So she got
one of her teachers to ask her
uncle if she could have a mando
|lin.
Her uncle said "Yes" —and that
was the last word he ever did say,
for a few secorids later, an anar
chist threw a bomb and blew his
body into bits.

Contagious Insomnia
Doctor: "Well, my friend, what
seems to be your trouble?"
Patient (nervously): "I believe
I have caught insomnia, doctor.
I cannot sleep a wink until round
three o'clock in the morning."
Doctor: "Nonsense, insomnia
is not contagious!"
Patient: "It is in my case, doc
tor. The baby next door has it!"
As a rule, what a man stands
for is better evidence as io his
worth than what he sits for.
