Meanwhile store in the refrig erator to retard further softening. By MARGARET SCHULER By the time this reaches Med ford, "the wedding" of the mid- twentieth century, with its fan fare and flourish, will be over. Perhaps too many stories have been written about it all, but. if this one, about the curse of the Grimaldis, hasn't reached the states, it might be interest ing. The real Monagesques the cabbies, who park their horses and fiacres on the boulevards, the women in the market, the fisherman about 2,000 of the 20,000 permanent residents of Monaco are concerned, as sub jects of the Prince (not paying taxes, nr doing military service) that they will lose these priv ileges if their ruler does not have an heir. Monaco will revert to France, according to an agree ment, if there is no male succes sor. And they fear the curse. There is an old legend, dating from the 14th century, which says that a Flemish wench, in love with an ancestor of Prince Rainier, was jilted, and evoked a curse upon him and his line. "No spouse of a Grimaldi shall ever have happiness in marri age. ' And for 600 years, marri ages of the family have failed. This princes' marriage ended in disaster. If, however, they say, the blood mother, being of another strain, makes this Prince not a pure Grimaldi, it may counteract the evil of the curse. Marries Laundress And the Monegesque know this story also. The grandfather of Rainier III fell in love with and eventually married a little French laundress. When he be came ruler, however, he had the marriage annulled but adopt ed his daughter, Charlotte. When she was 22 years old, he mar ried her to the heir of an old French family, Count de Palig- noc. Prince Rainier is the son of that marriage, which also was dissolved, and the count, being the guilty one, was ban ished forever from the princi pality. The child was reared in England, but during the war joined the French army and won the Croix de Guerre for bravery. In 1949, when his grandfather Louis II, died, he ascended the throne. (One of his first edicts was to rescind the b;nishment of his father, who now is with him much of the time.) His mother, Charlotte, lives in France. And so the people feel that if this marriage is successful it will be because of the mother's strain. As the Prince is a devout Catholic, and sincerely interest ed in his tiny nation, he is quot ed as saying that he has put his faith in God's hands, and be lieves his marriage will be bless ed, and that "la malediction des Grimaldi" will have to come to an end. Residents Rub Eyes According to first-hand re ports, I understand the great contingent of American tourists which followed Miss Kelly to Monte Carlo made the Monte Carlo residents rub their eyes. Accustomed as they are to con servative English tweeds, and Paris fashions, they do a bit of eyebrow-raising at beach pa jamas, shorts and snazzy slacks. It is said that even Miss Kelly's sister came in for a share of comment She went through the lobby of the Hotel de Paris bare legged and in black satin shorts. Her husband wears a bright orange open shirt. Amusing gossip was spread conjectures and surmises. Will this influx of Americans affect roulette will they demand "les dice" instead. Monsier Ceresal, commisaire special that it would, and made a study of the game even went to the states to find out what be the pitfalls and tricks in the playing. He coached the croupiers how to handle situations. As he thought it as good a game as the ancient roulette, probably craps will be come popular. Three Americans are alleged to have bought prop erty for new casinos. While 1 was at the Hotel Me- tropole, there often came an old Greek and wo young men, ad visors or friends, with him. I knew his name was Onassis, that his yacht was the biggest in the harbor, and that he entertained such personages as Greta Garbo, but it wasn't until today that I learned he owns two-thirds of the Casino, and part of several of the big hotels in Monte Carlo. This Mr. Onassis, also a shipping magnate, said he would like to stop the gambling at the Casino, and make it into a church. He is quoted as saying, "They object Talent School Girls7 Leaque Honors Mothers Talent Quince blossoms, spirea and bowls of daffodils provided a gay, spring atmos phere for, the Mother's tea given by the Girls' League ef Talent High school April 20. Silver rose corsages were pin ned on the guests when they en tered the school. Receiving were the officers, the Misses Maudalene Marshall, Rose Murray, Joann Schulz, Joyce Zickeffose, and Miss Ina Freeman, dean of girls. Miss Cora Mae Gleim and here, but I am serious. I would like to go to the Vatican, and of fer the Casino to be made into a church called 'The Magdalene of Monaco.' I don't like to take money from poor people, and I could find work for the 750 per sons the Casino supports." As a wedding gift, Prince Rainie- requested of Mr. Onas sis that he stop the shooting of pigeons at the Casino an old European pastime. In front and two terraces down, facing the water, one may hear the pop pop of guns, and see the pigeons fall on the green grass. And On assis granted the request. Jewels Are Gifts People are funny. He then told a reporter that he had al ready given Miss Kelly a dia mond bracelet, and his company had given her a ruby and dia mond tiara. Queer, to me, too is Father Tucker's frankness in telling his church congregation about the affair the Prince had had with a French actress, and with tears running down his cheeks, telling them that they should appre ciate the Prince's giving her up as unsuitable for a wife. Father Tucker changed his sermon on Sunday "because of special circumstances this week," and instead he read of the feast to which Jesus and Mary went where the wine ran out. "There is not much chance of the wine running out here." Of Miss Kelly he said, "She is a very sweet girl!" Of the prince he said, "He .is a very fine boy to whom I've dedicated the best years of my life." Sunday, April 29, 1958 Miss Peggy Davis poured coffee while Miss Julie Hanson and Miss Jean Sweet presided at the punch bowl. During the program hour Miss Marshall, president of the league, welcomed the guests and a musical program was given. Appearing were Jerry Hold ridge, Miss Priscilla Welch, Miss Gloria Quackenbush, Miss Ny lia Cooper, Miss Carolyn Tiegs. Miss Charmian Typsword and Glen Lamb. Miss Marshall was presented the Girls' League award, given each year to the girl who has given the most service to the or ganization of her fellow stud ents. The presentation was by Miss Ina Freeman. Committee chairmen for the MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE tea were Miss Lianis Burnette, invitations; Miss Maxine John son and Miss Deanna Snelson, program; Miss Rose Murray, corsages; Miss Shirley .Meeder, decorations; Miss Kathleen Kerns, refreshments and Miss Donis Blakkburn, clean-up.
