CARMEN SYLWIS
DEAD WITH ALL
HER LOOF MAN
AMSTERDAM, March 3.—A Buchar
est dispatch says that the Queen
Mother Elizabeth (Carmen Sylva) is
dead.
The pen name “Carmen Sylva,’’ by
which the Queen Mother Elizabeth of
Rumania was most widely known, was
chosen by her in expression of her love
for song and the woods. She was one
cf the most charming figures in the
courts of Europe, and practically’ the
only one of recent generations to gain
fume as a poetress.
In her own words, she was “born
far from a throne,” for although she
was a princess of W’ied, one of the
many tiny principalities with which
Germany abounded, her youth was that
of an ordinary robust country girl who
learned to cook and sew and , who
romped in the open with her compan
ions at the village school. She was
born December 29, 1843, and in her
cihldhood she showed predilection for
the poetical fancies that had such an
influence on her later life. She av
sorbed innumerable fairy stories and,
with some of her own imagination odd
ed, she delighted her playmates with
her mancies. At home she received
Spartan training, and with a father
who was an invalid for life, and a
brother who was incurably ill, she ex
perienced many sorrows and hard
ships.
Stricken With Fever.
Upon the death of her brother, the
princess was sent away to visit her
ount, the Grand Duchess Helena, of
Russia, who took her traveling to var
ious parts of Europe. It was during
this tour, however, that the princess
herself was stricken with typhus fe
ver, and when she recovered it was to
learn that her father had passed away.
She was deeply affected by the sorrow
in her family, and music and poetrv
became her only consolation. “Must
all I love on earth be borne to the
grave?” is the burden of a mourn
ful poem she wrote at the time of
her father’s death.
Among her friends about her home
on the Rhine, “the little wild-rosebud
of Wied” had evinced an almost sav
age dislike to matrimony, and had of
ten exclaimed: “I do not want to mar
ry unless I can be Queen of Rumania.”
The principality of Rumania had at
that time just been founded, and there
was no sense in the young princess’s
remark, except that she believed it a
sufficiently safe way to say that she
didn’t want to marry at all.
Married Through Boast.
There is a lemarkable romance at
tached to the fact that some years la
ter her suitor became Prince Charles
ct Hohenzollern, who was refused on
the same fanciful pretext that the
i rincess would not marry unless she
could be Queen of Rumania. In 1868,
Prince Charles was chosen ruler o f
Riim-tnia, and in the autumn of the
Hext year he returned to Wied to re
mind the Princess Elizabeth of her de
sire to rule over that kingdom.
Married, and settled in the palace at
Bucharest, the princess threw’ herself
with great ardor into the life of the
lountry. She learned to read and write
Rumanian, made herself acquainted
with the needs and requirements of
the land, and became so beloved that
the people called her “The Little
Mother.” Out of her own private purse
she founded schools, hospitals, and art
galleries, and devoted practically her
whole life to philanthropy. Although
she had practiced het literary talents
r a limited way for many years, it was
■ot until the death of her first, and
only child, at the age of four, that
much of her work was published.
She translated into German the fav
orite Rumanian folk songs, and wrote
seme short novels and dramas. Some
ofehr publications are: “Thoughts of
a Queen,” “Edleen Vaughan,” “Shad-

Queen Was Hard Worker.
She was an indefatigable worker. In
terviewers who have been received at
fcer palace have found her answering
her innumerable letters herself on a
typewriter—four of which machines
she had in constant use, equipped for
writing in English, Rumanian, French
and German. Once a pupil of Rubin
stein, she was skilled in the playing of
the piano, and she was also gifted as
an artist.
Having lost her own little girl, she
pictured herself as mother to millions
of Rumanian children, and among
them she was held in great affection.
Ar to woman’s work, Carmen Sylva of
ten expressed herself in interviews. “A
woman,” she said, “is made for t he
home. Her hands should be trained
to do beautiful things, things which
she can do by her own fireside, and
there her husband should find her.”
Her husband, King Charles I. of
Rumania, died in October, 1914, past
75 years of age. Since then the Queen
Mother herself had been in ill-health,
suffering particularly from cataract in
both eyes.

SIMPLE RECIPE OF SAGE TEA
AND SULPHUR
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to bake it at
heme, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sul
phur Compound," you will get a large
bottle of this famous old recipe, im
proved by the addition of other ingred
ients, for about 50 cents.
Don’t stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell tha; you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it, and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those yho desire dark hair and a
youthful appearance. It is not intend
ed for the cure, mitigation or pre
vention of disease.

For Coroner
Os Fulton
ATLANTA ,Ga., March 3. —A new
Napoleon has appeared on the horizon
of the local political battlefield, in
the person of F. M. Leathers, aspirant
for the honor and emolument which
go with the office of Fulton county
coroner.
Mr. Leathers had his picture in the
papers yesterday, inserted in a con
spiccuous position at so much per in
sert, and beneath it the following an
nouncement of the gentleman’s qualifi
cations for the office:
“Mr. Leathers has been a resident
of Atlanta for twenty-three years, con
ducting a large and popular boarding
place on Marietta street for many
yearrs.”
As a political orgument and platform
Mr. Leathers’ statement has attracted
widespread attention. It has com
mended itself not merely on account
of its brevity and succinctness, ibut for
its strong logic as well.
Many a man has gone to congress on
less.
