Countess Rustovt and Napoleonic Relics Draw Interest
Countess Rustovt, recently deceased, owned a vast Napoleonic relics and correspondence collection whose disposition will attract French imperialists. The royal couple of Greece received a gold and silver service for sixty eight from imperial and royal friends on their silver wedding anniversary. The king of Sweden allowed Prince and Princess Bernadotte to accept the hereditary titles of Count and Countess of Wisborg. Count DE LEsseps, involved in the Panama canal probe, is 87 and despairing, possibly harming his health. Empress Josephine popularized pocket handkerchiefs to cover imperfect teeth, a fashion later followed by court ladies. London expects the khan of Kniva, a devout Mahometan, to tour Europe with a Russian official, having spoken only Russian.
