    These ladies wore some jewel pieces.

    My note: Queen Olga of Greece (widow of King George I) wore wonderful pieces of jewelry. Queen Anne-Marie has her tiara now, but name the person who currently has the "choker" necklace (it looks as if it once was on a Russian-style headdress tiara) and one strand-pearl necklace and the pair of earrings. Also, just out of the picture, it appears Queen Olga wore this brooch or corsage of some sort.

    Caption: INFANTA EULALIE OF SPAIN.

    Paris, Jan. 12: The beauty (next word sp?) venture opened shortly before the (ball?-) days by the Infanta Eulalie, aunt of King Alfonso, is turning out to be a success. During Christmas week, she realized a profit of $375 (or $875) on the sale of her "Kulalie Perfume" alone, aside from the profit of her other beauty products.

    The Infanta has a large clientele among the American women in Paris, many of whom are her close friends. Eulalie won the approval of the American people by her democratic spirit and (next word sp??) interest at the World's Fair in Chicago in 1898 (or 1893).

    My note: Please note Infanta Eulalie's "choker" necklace here.
