Nancy Wynne Hears of Trees for France's Fatherless Children.
She Spealts of Dal Koons's Death in
France Other Matters
DIDN'T you nenrly Bhrlok your last nt
thoso rldlcubus soltllor boys In "Who
Btolo tho Hut?" You know during that
song, "Ansel Child," when tho HEroIno
Bang, and tho chorus Indies or show Rlrls
camo dancing ddwn tho nlslc. Tlicy wro
too funny for words, for thoy really looked
Jlke girlie. And didn't ono sit right down
on tho lap of a man you know and I know
who was sitting on tho front row
and pat hli head and stroke his
face? And didn't tho man almost "pass
out" from embarrassment? Ho tried to
throw him off; but dear mo, ho had on n,
pale blue satin frock and a big hat, and
ho looked so glrly you couldn't expect the
man to "treat him rough," so to speak.
Finally whon tho chorus lady bocamo so
' attentive ho Just couldn't stand It, in the
mlddlo of tho song ho called out In sten
torian tones, "Help I"
Every ono you over knew was there.
And thoy crtatnly did applaud. Tony
Drexel Is secretary of tho show and It's a
benefit affair. And by tho way. did you
know that Mrs Tony was operated on for
appendicitis yesterday? She's getting along
very, well, I hear.
DTD you know thero aro going to bo big
Christmas trees in a" tho public
squares this year7 Tes; and they aro to
bo trimmed with red, whlto and bluo stars
only. And tho stars aro to bo bought 1 .
you and mo and tho money is gol. c to tho
I fatherless children of Franco. JstV. that
an Idea? Mrs. John Markoj 13 chairman
of that commlttco of tho Emergency Aid.
They nro going to make a special appeal
on Monday and Tuesday, and every ono
who gives ten cents for a child's support
for ono day will be roprenot.ted by a bluo
, star. Threo dollars,' which supports a
child for a month, will buy a whlto star.
and J3G.50 will tako caro of a child for a
, year, and those who contribute that amount
will have rod stars on tho trees. Mrs. Nor
man MacLeod, Mrs. Campbell Madclro,
Miss Eleanor Chandler, Mrs. Samuel Lit
i and various other members of tho com-
' mlttco nro hoftrt and soul In tho work.
.Mrs. Lit will havo charge of tho tree In
RlttonMouso Square. I think It's a very
pretty idea.
WEREN'T you sorry to hear of Dal
, Koons's death? He Is the son of the
" Bob Koonses you know, and a brothor of
'Browster Koons, who married Molly Bally.
Dal had been In Franco for about six
months and had done splendid work. I
saw a number of his letters ono day and
was thrilled with tho spirit in them. And
somohow, bravo and strong and flno a
fighter as ho wpa, I think he hated to kill
and hurt. So hl3 braverj was doubly finol
His father and mother received tho tele
r gram on Wednesday. Somehow It seems
: doubly hard so long after tho armlstlco to
hear that ho is dead. Of course, It was
not in action, as it was on Saturday; but
whether It was from wounds or discaso tho
ATvitlir Ana nnf lenrtW.
. Dai's older brother Bob died about ttn
,years ago and it was a terrible blow to
.lUs parents, who aro more than devoted
to their sons. Mrs. Koons is such a sweet
little woman. Sho was Miss Mary Brew
ster, you know, but her Intimate friendd
call her Mlml.
TO GO from sorrow to Joy, did you know
that Elbort Dent camo homo unexpect
edly tho other night? His family thought
him in France, and they woro awakened
after having been asleep some time, and
looking out from the window they descried
an odlcor in uniform on the lawn. They
thought he was trying to attract them to
say that a window had been loft open or
something. But aftor several attempts to
make himself heard they Anally 'mado out
"Elbert." It was a question as to who
should got down first. And from "Danny's"
account of it, he beat his mother to it.
He got there first, and ho lives on tho
third floor, you know, whllo tho others are
on the second floor. But he got there all
right.
HELEN is six, but awfully observant.
Tho only troublu about her is that she
sometimes gets mixed up in her observing
observation observance have it your own
way. Her oldest brother has Just come
back from overseas, and being somewhat
older than she was when ho went away,
Helen is much Interested in all his conver
atlon which is decidedly snappy. He
'has a habit of addressing his mother af
fectionately but familiarly as "Old Lady,"
and Helen gets the spirit of It fine. But as
usual tho letter means little or nothing in
her life, and somo guests who had beeh
invited to the dinner given In honor of tho
soldier wero shocked at the "lack of train-
Jng."
This is how it happened. Everybody
else at tho tablo had been served, but
Helen always has her own special dish and
that hadn't been brought in yet. She
watched with wistful eyes as each dish
camo In and wont out, and none of It
seemed, to be coming her way. At last,
after a wild look at tho apron strings of
the maid as they disappeared through tho
door, she put a beseeching hand on
mother's arm and oxclaimed, "Hey, Ole
3lrl, you're forgetting met"

Corvriohl, lOlf. tuXtw York Timet Co.
' Berlin, Dec 20 (vja Copenhnget.V
It has been ascertained that the cx-Knlae.'s
cash1 fortune amounts to 20,000,000 mar) s
(JB.000,000), which Is deposited In varlojs
banks at 4V4 per cent and Interest, and now
has hec'n taken chargo of by Prince Eltel
rrltr, whom Wllholm hns nppolntcd head of
the Hohenzollern family In Germany.
This fortune, was nccumulated by Frederick
Wllhelm III, the cX-Kalscr's great-grnnd-fnther,
bnck In 1840, and bequeathed by him
to hla successor to the crown, with the
proviso that one-half should bo left Intact
unless Prussia was In a desperate condition,
which Wllhelm will probnbly nssumo now,
Tho Hohcnzollerns also claim their ninety
estates, consisting of castles, farms, forests
anU moorlands, only seven being crown
domains nnd nil the rest their private prop
erty. Tho Flnnnco Minister is Investigating
this claim, as tho revolutlonnry government
has provisionally decided to conflscato all
crown property.
Prlnco' Lltel IVIt7 and Count Zullenburg.
former Minister of tho rojnl house, bcllevs
thoy have documentary proof showing that
their contention Is correct They claim, for
Instance, ins private projierty Hellevuo palnco
nnd Mon BIJou palace, with tho English
church,, both In Berlin, thirteen palnccs at
Potsdam, Wllhclmshoho pnlace In Cnsscll,
where Napoleon III was confined nfter Sedan,
nnd palnccs In Charlottenburg, Coblenz,
Wiesbaden, Frelnwaldo and man other
Places, as wen as mo weii-Known farming
estato of Kadlnen and tho famous shooting
resort of Romlnten
Besides, tho Hohenzollerns own public
property In Troivillc, Franc, Achlllon, Corfu
nnd the Carfelll palate In Rome It Is
thought" that, all this property, though diffi
cult to realize on nt present, presents enor
mous values, which will keep the Hohcn
zollerns very comfortably If they aro per
mitted to retain It.
There Is a plan to mnkn a special law
compelling tho Hohcnzollerns to pay largo
sums In taxes Most likely, too, they will
be compelled to return tho 16,000,000 marks
($3,760,000) -which tho present Wllhelm's
grandfather appropriated ns his shuro of tho
war Indemnity paid by Franco
Sums amounting probably to another
16,000,000 mirks (J3.750.000) which the
Kaiser received from tho -Htato for certnln
sites on which to qrect public buildings In
Berlin, such ns tho Bovnl library, wero In
vested by him In land property elsewhere
Tho payment of largo annuities to the
members of the Hohenzollern family has been
suspended, but no law hns vet abolished
them Meckllhburg, however, hns abolished
all pajments to members of Its grand ducal
houpe, nmong which aro nearly 200,1100
marks annually to the former Crown Prin
cess's mother, Apastaslo, who, being im
mensely rich anyway, used to spend most
of her Income In Prnnco nnd at Monto
Carlo
Among tho Princes thus suddenly losing
their Incomes Is Duke George of Mecklen
burg, who before tho war lived on n ranch
In Arizona or Texas, nnd whose very ad
venturous flight from America ns a stoker
on nn ocean liner caused a sensation at the
time Little Mecklonburg saves 700,000
marks by stoplpng these payments
