Monocle trend at Smith College and high society tango
The article notes monocle fashion at Smith College in Northampton Massachusetts where students imitate leaders in style with a heavy black ribbon. It recalls Italy’s Duke of Abruzzi introducing a tango at the Venice Lido, dancing with his mother Princess Laetitia and drawing royal notice. Queen Helena begins learning a modified tango, while King Victor Emmanuel plans to judge the dance. The piece shifts to London gossip about Mrs W B Leeds returning to America and the theft of her pearl necklace by gondoliers in Venice. It also covers occult interests of Queen Alexandra and Princess Maud, references to crystal gazing, and royal expectations for the new Princess Arthur of Connaught amid American ties. Finally, it reports Virginia Coudert Benedict’s will probate in Mineola, naming beneficiaries and trust funds, with an estate valued above $100,000.
