SPY IN SKIRTS! ALL "MOST As Famous Beauty Specialist, Mmc Trost, a German Special Agent, Wormed State Secrets From Wives of Men in Hlnh Offices of British Government. (Ft ot)i Our Special Correspondent.) LONDON, June 1 1. The most dangerous woman in Loudon has just Iteeii deported as an alien enemy. And tlteie never was u more harmless looking person. In early Victorian dress, with snow white hair arranged in nodding curls .Mine. Trost has for years been one of the most picturesque tigtites in the West Knd and Hyde Park. Itegularly oery afternoon situ drove in the park dressed in figured silks worn over an ample crinoline, a poke bonnet half biding her deli cately rouged face nnd grandmother ly hair. It was vaguely known that she claimed to be a reincarnation of Marie Antoinette and that at her splendid house in Marlhoroitgli-gate, she had enshrined a coffin "that she might be beautiful ill death." Obviously Mine. Trost was rich. She maintained a splendid home just opposite Kensington (lindens, where she lived surrounded bv Louis XVI furniture and superb plate. Hut while girl pages in rich silk gowns of Louis XVI period served the gucstH at madam's frequent "at homes," the queer old lady kept no servants, liut'livcd (piite alone, doing all her own cooking and much of the housework. This scented more remarkable bo canso Madame Trost was u beauty specialist in Itond street W. A busi ness woman whose trade it was to pander to tho follies of the idle rich. Practically all her clientele occu pied important social or official po sitions. Were women wearing out fast in the maddening whirl. After a treatment those who wish ed t rest their nurvcH could drink tea nnd play bridge. If they lost, madamo was a liberal banker. Ah time passed nnd accounts grew the ensnared clients became helpless he fore their creditor's curiosity. A more impiisitivo old ladv never lived. For wheedling information hhu was almost without a rival. . Hut one day, after war began, Mine. Trost asked an apparently harmless question of eear-hcaded, dcbl-fiee woman. That night Scot land Yard became mildly suspicious of the beauty speciali-t. Official investigation piovcd that the (piaint Victorian in life was a Herman subject born in Frankfort, that she had lived thiity years in Loudon mid identified herself with everything Kitglish, hut had tuner been naturalized. Scotland Yard dcUed deeper and discovered that long ago, when lleitha Trost was quite a young wo man, slio stood in the shadow of Austrian royalty until her connection with an intrigue caused someone highly placed at the Vienna court to suggest that she would be better off in London, where suitable provision would be made for her, Tho Itond street "business," with its bizarre boudoirs, was merely a blind to hoodwink the police. The re ceipt did not pay the rent. Mehind the trellis screens mid rose-strung shutters madamo could carry out hur schemes. The important women whoso physical defects she knew, whoso notes of hand she held, could often be induced to yield up official gossip, oven secrets of state. Madam 'frost's subterranean pro fission became daily more olninus. Iteeently she began to drive out with wounded officers just home from the front. Then, grown suddenly reck-Io-.k, she attempted to visit the camps of (Ionium prisoners in F.uglnml, Scotland Yard called u halt and demanded an explanation. The truth came out. Madam Trust, married thirty year ago in Oennany, was searching for her son, a Uerman prisoner, now interned in Knglaml. Mother love had made her careless of eoiiscipteueos. In an effott to nullify the decree of exile to her own country, she at tempted to marry a HritNh subject by special license. Hut the Hinniiighatii bridegroom, who answered the sum mono by the first train, arrived in Loudon just as the Ladv of the Crin oline was n.irns'vvd. ., . Now her long scheming is ended. Her splendid home and bet "Iniii nosfc" premises aro held by the pub lie trustee and the curious, triple sheathed coffin is in the hands of the bureau of criminal investigation. For thu "dour old Kttglish lady" was a dangerous secret agent, a hpy in skirts, in the pay of Germany.
