“BEAUTY’S FATE.”
“HUNGARIAN POMPADOUR.” DEAD IN ATTIC. LONDON, Nov. 26. Tiro Daily Mail’s Berlin correspondent announces tho death of Countess Rose Hohenau, formerly known as “the Hungarian Pompadour.” The body was discovered -in an attic where the Countess had lived, friendless and poverty-stricken. Twenty years ago, tho Countess, who was a daughter of a small Hungarian tradesman, became a shop girl in Budapest, where her beauty enabled her first to become the mistress of a rich financier, and then the mistress of a Hungarian politician. The Countess was soon immersed in a sea of political intrigue, her beauty, charm and wit, her clothes and ostrich feather hats, and her racing stable captivating Vienna. Sho eventually married the impoverished Baron Schonberg, but her brilliant career ended with the publication of an article in a Budapest newspaper, under the heading: “I accuse,” declaring that the Countess was a political spy. She lied to Berlin and married Hohenau, but after her husband’s death sho fell into the direst poverty.
