UGLIEST WOMAN AT MONTE CARLO

Chicago Tribune Foreign News Service.

Monte Carlo, March 15.–Polaire, who was billed as the "ugliest woman in the world" on her theatrical tour in the United States ten years ago, is here, winning a little spare change at roulette.

Polaire is built like an hour glass with the smallest waist on any living thing except a wasp, with a big mouth from ear to ear, and about a million francs worth of diamonds

She is no plunger and plays a very careful game, pulling down her winnings and making her biggest bet first, instead of letting the coin ride as most of them do. Lily Langtry is also on deck. She looks remarkably young still and has four complete sets of jewels–diamonds, pearls, rubies and emeralds. She is now saving up for a set of sapphires, they say.

Bobby Peel, of London, has been batting the roulette tables at the sporting club awfully hard. He made 95,000 francs one afternoon, 80,000 more that night, 60,000 the following afternoon and 75,000 the following night.

On each of these four occasions, Peel gave away more than 2,000 francs in tips to the croupiers. He had packets of thousand franc notes stuck in every pocket and it was a lucky thing that his Bond street tailor had put extra large patch pockets on his jacket or he would never have been able to get all his coin under cover.

General Kenley, of the United States army, has been here taking a little rest after his tour of inspection around Europe to look over new models of airplanes for the army. The general was in civvies and could go to the casino, but he didn't play.
