THE COLONNAS
The Princess to Settle in New
York to Educate Her
Children
Galvelon Xews
It is understood that the
Princess Colonna will ultimate-
ly settle in New York hav-
ing determined that here alone
can she best gratify her social
ambitions and at the same time
escape from her husband Her
three young sons will live with
her Indeed it was her anxiety
to have these boys educated in
this country which made her
submit to be mulcted of the
sum of 12000 yearly which
sum is to come out of the an-
nual income of 175000 which
she enjoys through the liberal-
ity of the stepfather John W
Mackay Mr Mackay himself
insisted that the boys must be
brought up as Americans if
they were to live ou his money
This determination was perfect-
ly well known to the prince
who made a very adroit use of
it in effecting the marital set
tlement He is now a very
lackadaisical 3Touth is this
prince He has shaved off his
mustache and affects the effem-
inate decadent cosswells Cn
this account he has recently
won the soubriquet of the
Sirnfiower Colonna He has
threatened to come to this
country every year to see his
sons He would undoubtedly
make a sensation in New York
with his Italian airs

AVe sell you a policy as good as a
