C, K. R. .
London, April 17. Shall they be
branded r if so, howf
Columns of valuable news print
are being given to the subject. Judg
ing by the number of letters the edi
tors receive the controversy must
rank among what is known in the
trade as "circulation builders." For a
lot of folk must be buying news
papers to follow the fight and see
what the decision will be. -The
subject, of course, is man. -To
be more specific the married
man.
Why should he go his way, indis
tinguishable from the unfettered
male, while his spouse wears a plain
gold mark of servitude? The origin
of the question is lost in compara
tive antiquity. No one remembers
exactly who .or what newspaper first
propounded the inquiry. And, so far,
none knows where' it will end.
Master and Mister.
Let the unmarried man continue
to be known as "Master" until he is
married. Then let him become
"Mister."
Such is one suggestion.
Others cite perfectly logical
reasonings against the convention of
changing the wife's name and mak
ing no change in that of the men.
A facetious male, who confesses
that he has worn a wedding ring
himself for 20 years, suggests that
the only sure solution is to brand
married men with an "M" on the
forehead. While an editorial writer
gravely discusses this and that side
of the subject and concludes with a
warning presumably to Britain's
millions of surplus women that if
the young bachelor 19 to be branded
at the altar he'll very probably'de
cide to remain a bachelor.
And Lady Tree thinks it's all use
less talk.
"There needs no badge of servi
tude," she writes. "There needs no
plain gold circlet to single out the
married man. He is unmistakable.
"It is not that he is particularly
. careworn. I have known men, mar-,
ried and not careworn. Nor is he
preternaturally . gay though there
have been men both gay and mar
ried. There does not brood upon
his brow that undefinable expression
half smug, half furtive, that we
know so well.
The Petrified Tear.
"Suffice to say that married men
pretending to be unmarried could
not deceive a child.
"But since the custom of husbands
wearing wedding rings has evidently
come to stay, let us at least observe
it systematically.
"Let us have a hoop of gold, plati
num, silver or iron (according to the
means and status of the wearer)
upon the third finger of the left
hand of every married man.
"If, unhappily, he becomes a
widower, a circlet of pearls (Orient,
imitation or Christmas cracker)
should adorn the second finger; and
if, still more unhappily, again a wid
ower, a ring, worn in addition to the
other two. upon the first finger
should be 'de riguer.' And for this
I know of no prettier device than a
blend of plaited hair.
"In the case (and this the unhap
picst of all), of a widower deter
mined never to marry again, a sin
gle diamond, like a bright tear petri
fied, should be settled upon tin
thumb.
"And for the henpecked husband
but no! I never could see the af
finitv between the nose and the
ring."'

No Rush, Aparently, to
Rent This Neat Bungalow
' Paris, April 23. At Beaulieu sur
Mer on the Riyiera 6tands a beautiful
mansion in the midst of a large and
shady park. It .is the property of
Prince and Princess Hohenlohe-Schil-lingsfurst.
Sequestrated at the begin
ning of the war and used as a hos
pital for American soldiers during the
war the property was recently put up
for auction by the French sequestra
tion officials. It was estimated to be
worth 80,000 francs and considered
"cheap at that price. Nevertheless, no
one came forward to buy. The prop
city is now uninhabited and is con
sidered burdensome to the sequestra
tion officials. ' 1 . " ;

Scores of Men Enslaved by 3
Famous European Vampires
Beautiful Chedorovska
Audacious Crimes Men Orgies of German
. Charmer in Berlin Land Her in Jail
Russian Girl Murderer is Slain.
Paris, March 26. "Vampires . of
Fate" is the term applied by the
French newspaper Paris-Midi to
three famous beauties of Russia and
Central Europe.
One of the women is "The Beau
tiful Chedorovska," who has just
been arrested in Budapest charged
with a score of audacious crimes
whereof men enslaved by her charms
were the victims.
The second is Anna Sadck, who
posed as a Russian grand duchess
to the deception of all European high
society, and who in February was
tried and convicted for fraud by a
Berlin court.
The third is Krashinskaya, most
sinister of all, who became a power
in a Russian town, was public ex
ecutioner and news of whose death
at the hands of a soviet official has
just reached Paris.
Born at Warsaw, the" beautiful
Chedofovska, whose, real name is
Amelia Wisinsky, began her career
as a dancer in a public cabaret.
After several weeks she was the most
talked of woman in Poland. Of tall,
lithe form and face so lovely it was
said to daze men who beheld her,
she gave nightly dances practically
unclothed of a character that caused
a wave ot protest to sweep Warsaw.
Men Were Her Victims.
Together with Marguerite, her as
sociate, who posed as her sister, she
started on a systmatic campaign to
victimize men. Soon men who had
fallen prey to her fatal charm were
to be counted by hundreds. Many
rotests were made to the police,
ut by exercising a subtle influence
on the cruet ot police himselt she
was able to keep out of jail.
Her Waterloo came finally after
she had obtained from one of her
victims, Baron Lenken, the sum of
$25,000. With police hot on her trail
she went to frague. where she
robbed an ex-captain of the German
Hussars of diamonds and other jew
elry worth $100,000.
From Prague she went to Vienna,
where, in a few weeks she succeed
ed in getting from her dupes more
than $80,000. Forced to leave Vienna,
she went to Budapest, where she
pretended to be a French woman
of .high lineage, delegated on a' spe
cial mission. Police investigated,
however, and she was finally -arrested.
Orgies Follow.
Anna Sadek was one of the most
beautiful women in Germany. When
she was 18 years old, although with
out visible means of income, she
maintained, a luxurious apartment
in the center of Berlin, to which
were cajoled young men and young
girls. Orgies that followed led to
her arrest, when it was found that
she owed huge bills to tradesmen
wio thought she was a noble.
ahe was sent to prison, but since
the war she has been freed and re
cently made her appearance as of
old in Berlin, driving down the Ber
line-strasse in a handsome carriage
with uniformed footmen sitting be
hind her.
Arrested subsequently for having

The Third Vampire.
The third "vampire of fate,"
Krashinskava. arrived in . a town
called Perchow on the Moscow-Pet-
rograd line early during the soviet
regime and, although absolutely a
stranger within a few weeks attained
a position as one of the comnlissar
es. Soon the entire town was at her
feet.
One day she appeared in mascu
Lne garments, the eternal cigarette
between her lips, and announced
that she had been appointed public
executioner. She conducted a series
of raids on suspected dwellings,
slaying in summary fashion with a
revolver every person she considered
guilty.
Dragging the dead bodies of her
victims to the public square of the
town, she ordered them burned. For
weeks the town was terrorized by
this extraordinary woman, who has
been called the "Charlotte Corday"
ofRussia.
Looted From Mansions.
At night she would appear garbed
in wonderful dresses looted from
mansions in Petrograd, ropes of
beautiful pearls round her neck. But
her reign was destined to be short.
Hearing of the woman who had
dared to do summary execution in
.ts name, the executive committee of
the communist party at Moscow sent
a representative to investigate. When
he demanded her letters of creden
tials she opened fire, whereupon he
drew a revolver and killed her on
the spot.
"As Bruyere said," commented
Paris-Midi, "women are strange
little animals, who can turn from
the timidity of a gazelle to the fe
rocity of a tigress." j
