WOMEN’S STRONGHOLD IN BUDAPEST.
A countess who values the company of her women friends more than a lost diadem worth thousands of pounds is the talk of Budapest to-day. She is Countess Marietta Vichy the divorced wife of Count Raphael Vieliy, a famous Hungarian aristocrat. The diadem a valuable jewel of the period Louis XIV., disappeared from the Budapest palace of the countess, but the police are powerless in their inquiry into the theft, because the countess has peculiar ideas about men, and never allows a man to enter her palace. She surrounds- herself with a regiment of female servants and secretaries, to whom she entrusts her affairs. As there are no women detectives on the staff of the Budapest -police, and as there is no Sherlock Holmes among the personnel of the countess, the recovery of the diadem is expected to present a difficulty and take a considerable time.
