LONDON, Dec. 7. (Speclal.)-Mrs. White
law Reld, the wife of the American
ambassador, la never guilty of that fault
to which, according to English notions,
her countrywomen are ao much addicted
overdressing. Her costume are never
.-laborate. But occasionally she seta a
chance to make a display of wealth with
out laying- herself open to the charge of
ostentatious vulgarity. Such an oppor
tunity was afforded by the Bourbon wed
9 I'ng. The furs she wore there were mag
Viincent. They were of the finest Russian
sable, and neither of the two queens pres
ent nor any of the lesser royalties had
furs that would stand comparison with
them. When It cams to diamonds the con
trast was all the other way. In the mat-
clses becoming moderation. But those
who took note of her furs knew that It
was not a question of economy.
Like the rest of the 'guests, the Relds
traveled by the special train from London.
Motors and carriages conveyed the guests
from the terminus to Wood Norton and it
would seem the chauffeur who drove tho
Relds, had been breakfasting not wisely,
but too welL That at all events was the
conclusion come to by those who saw them
drive off at a ace which was calculated
to be little under fifty miles an hour. How
ever, they arrived at the scene of the wed
ding without adventure and were much
congratulated on the fact that they were
Intact.
Fanrtlons Magnificent.
kProm a spectacular point of view . tho
wedding functions were magnificent. ' The
royalties out of a Job were numerous, but
they were gorgeously got up. The one ex
ception was the Duke of Orleans, the
brother of the bride, who claims to be
king of France by divine right. In the
matter of ceremonial garb he Is restricted
to the conventional evening drese because
in ungrateful country spurns his offer to
lave It from democracy and refuses to
recognise his. right to wear any of its
uniforms. From beginning to end the
wedding was a make-believe business. ' The
titles of , the bride Princess Louise of
France rests on mere pretence. As there
Is at present' no royal house In France there
:in be no princess of France. If the house
at Orleans were usurping the throne, no
doubt It would usurp some such title for
Its junior members. But If we are to Ignore
the existing state of things, and go merely
by right of descent, Don Carlos, the head
of the house of Bourbon, would be king,
(and his daughters would be the princesses
of France. As It Is, there Is no Princess
Louise of France, either In fact or theory.
I have had quite enough of matrimony
to do me for the rest of my life."
This Is the remark ex-Countess ds Cas
tellane made to one of her friends who
congratulated her on her supposed en
gagement to Prince de Bagan. The
countess, who, by the way, now wishes to
be known as Madame Gould, declares no
power will ever Induce her to remarry.
(V'My experience has been such," she said,
that I should never again trust any man.
'-"If one man married me when I was young
and comparatively good , looking for my
money1, surely, to goodness, I could not ex
pect sny man to marry me now except for
my money." I

We are looking forward to renewing our
acquaintance with David Jayne Hill and
his wife, who, I am told. Intend to be In
London for a brief stay before taking up
their quarters at the American embassy
In Berlin. They will have their work cut
out for there if they aspire to live up to
the popularity of the ChaTlemagne Towers.
By the way, I am told, up to the last there
was a hope that the Towers might be in-
Juuced to stay on In Berlin, and it la said
lhat the kaiser was most desirous, that
they should do so.
The Hills were much liked when they
were here ast year. All the great Judges
and lawyers sought Introduction to. him,
his fame having reached them long before.
The late Lord Brampton said that Jayno
II1U was the greatest living authority on
international law and that his work on
the subject was a classic and likely to be
regarded as such for many years to come.
Mrs. Hill has the reputation of being
an extremely learned woman, but that did
not prevent her from displaying here some
bewltehlngly . effective frocks and Jewels.
Someone told me she spoke Chinese. Any
way, she la a very great linguist. Bhe Is
an excellent Dutch scholar, having ac
quired that language during her husband's
term of office at The Hague. The queen
of the Netherlands was eminently gratl-
., fled to find that her American minister's
wife was such a fluent speaker of the na
tional tongue and la consequence she and
the Imperious little queen became fast
friends. ,

coming of the health of Mr. and Mrs. Wil
son, Lady Herbert hopes to be able to
wear some beautiful Paris gowns snd mil
linery, as well as some new Jewels, when
she goes to America to visit her sister,
Mrs. Ogden Ooelet. She is taking the pre
caution this time of having the latter and
her furs insured, as the memory of an ex
perience with her Jewel esse Is still vivid,
and no wonder.
A case containing $26,000 worth of Jewels
was once left by her maid on a steamer
pier. The bag was laid against the steps
of the pier restaurant and was noted by
one of the porters, who, thinking It to be
of little value and to belong to someone
having lunch, left It there. Hours later
It remained In the same position. It was
then he put It Into the lost luggage de
partment In the usual fashion. Although
no end of detectives were endeavoring
to solve the mystery of the "lost Jewels,"
It never occurred to anyone to Inquire at
the proper quarter. Eventually a newspa
per paragraph caught the eye of the porter
who had put away the mysterious bag.
and this Is how the Jewels once more came
Into the possession of their rightful owner.
It Is only quite lately that Lady Herbert
has left off her "weeds" for the late 8lr
Michael Herbert. Like the typical Amer
ican widow she has been very true to the
memory of the "late lamented." This char
acteristic of the widow from the other side
Is much admired by all women here who,
however, never elect to do likewise when
placed In a similar position. A year Is
the utmost limit of the bereaved lady of
this nationality.
Olympta Motor dhow,
I expect In the very height of the season
at Newport you would hardly have found
more millionaire Americans and their smart
women folk than were to be seen at the
great motor show at Olympla In London.
They came from all quarters for It, Paris,
Berlin and the south of France sending con
tingents. And they purchased right, left
and center. In most cases paying on the
nails. I am told on good authority that they
bought at the show cars to the tune of 250.
000. The duchess of Roxburghe, Ladv Suf
folk, the Jordan Motts and Henry White,
Just over from Faris for the show, were
among the purchasers.
The exhibitor of a famous and expensive
line of cars told me he depended almost
entirely on rich Americans for purchasers.
His words were: "They know a good thing
when they see It, and to give them thfr
due, they never hesitate to pay the price.
Best of all, they never ask for 'tick.' " By
which, of course, he meant credit.
Another bit of Information he gave ne
was that Americana buy tmly cars of the
highest horse power. They have no uso
for any others. This means that some of
the most magnificent cars bought only last
year by millionaire Americans were being
literally given away for a song a week
or less ago. Some of these have done only
a few thousand miles and were to all in
tents and purposes as good as new. But
from the American point of view thoy
were "back numbers," as they were Just
a year behind the time. LADT MARY.

T. PETERSBURG!, Dec. 7. (Special.)
The train from St. Petersburg to the fron

the platform is unusually crowded on all
sides, not Russian, but Polish and Lithu

dressed men and women, priests who look
like French cures, but are really Poles,
workmen and peasants, women and girls
with white silk handkerchiefs on their
heads. They talk In low tones, as- people

Those nearest press forward to kiss his

that he reaches his carriage. The last bell

SBC EDWARD LIKES GOLD
Money Appear Key to Eoyal Faror

ROMANTIC ST0EY OF SASS00N3
Drlvea Oat of Ilfiajdnd, They Went
lo Knalaad and with Koyal
Favor Have Speared
Position.
LONDON. Dec. 7. (Special.) King Ed
ward does not take much stock In blue
blood. Nor do tlth s count for much In his
estimation. They are things that he gives
away and they cost him nothing. But he
has a great respect for money. All his men
f,rlends are wealthy. As prince of Wales
he early made friends of the mammon of
unrighteousness, and since his accession
to the throne his respect for the solid
virtues symbolized by the golden calf have
undergone no diminution.
AH of which is but the prelude to the
tale of how the Sassoons came to bask In
MRS. ARTHUR BASSOON.
the sunshine of royal favor. One of them,
Arthur Sassoon, has Just enjoyed the dis
tinguished honor of entertaining his maj
esty at Tulchan Lodge in Scotland and
not for the first time, either. There la no
more striking example of the power of
wealth to carry one to the pinnacle of
social eminence than that furnished by the
Bassoons. The story of their rise Is as ro
mantic as a chapter from the "Arabian
Nights."
Abdallah Sassoon, the father of Arthur
Sassoon, was a Bagdad Jew. In the esti
mation of the born Brtlsh aristocrat the
social gulf that lies between him and a
Bagdad Jew Is about as broad and as deep
as that which separates a scion of one of
the first families of Virginia from a
"nigger."
At Abdallah' house in Bombay one of
Arthur Bassoon's sisters, Azlza Bassoon,
was married.
Move to England.
The Bassoons didn't count for much In
Bombay society. Anglo-Indian social prej-,
udlces do not yield so readily to the bland-.
Ishmenta of wealth as do the social preju
dices of English folk. And old Abdallah
was a proud man. He had a very high
appreciation of his own lineage. He would
do nothing to curry favof with the Gen
tiles. Like a Hebrew patriarch of old, he
abided by the ways of his forefathers.
But it was different with his three sons,
Abdallah,' Reuben and Arthur. They had
tasted of the fleshpots of society and
yearned after them. Bo when old Abdal
lah, full of years and honors, was gathered
unto his fathers, they took counsel among
themselves and went to England.
Abdullah got his front name changed to
Albert soon after they arrived in England
Abdallah being too suggestively Oriental
and bought him an Immense house In
Queen Gate Immediately overlooking Ken
sington gardens. Reuben took a big house
In aristocratic Belgrave Square. Arthur
took a mansion In Albert Gate.
Society sniffed at them at first, but so
ciety could not resist their dinners.
That did not worry the Bassoons. They
simply put their heads together, made
their plans and waited. And they hadn't
long to wait either. Just how they man
aged It nobody knows, but It was not
long before the1 king, then Prince of
Wales, had taken dinner with each ono
of them In turn. Society gasped, but
sniffed no more. The Sassoons had "ar
rived." It f was Reuben Sassoon to whom the
prince was most partial. Reuben used to
get up Big luncheon parties for him. At
these entertainments the talents of one
chef In particular were always brought Into
prominence. He had been Imported from
India because he could compound moro
delicious Indian curries than any other
man In the land of their origin. And In
those days the prince of Wales was very
fond of Indian eurrlea. As time' went on
Reuben Sassoon became one of the most
Intimate of his majesty's friends. Indian
curries would never have carried him that
far. Nor would his share of old Abdallah s
pile alone have sufficed. But it Is equally
ARTHVR SASSOQN.
true that had he not been a' very rich man,
he would never have got the chance to
"make good" with his majesty. Hu died a
year or two ago.
Intimate' with Kiss.
Albert, the eldest brother, and Arthur, the
youngest, were only a degree or two le
intimate with King Edward while he was
etill prince of Wales than wss Reuben. It
was an unprecedented thing for the prince
to show such strong partiality f.r three
members of the same family. A'.i-.i h.
ex-Abdallah was made a baronet through
ir.s innuence or tt' prince. He died In
WW and his aon'Edwsrd eucceeded to the
title and the royal favor.
8lr Edward added cunalderabiy to hia
Inheritance by marrying the enormously
rkh daughter of Baron Guslava A th-
chold. it was a vary different sort of
1K' t '
V
wedding from that of his aunt In Bombay,
which has been describe. It was dis
tinctly the society event of the Season.
The king, then still prince of Wales, was
present. Nothing showed more strikingly
how far the family had advanced since lis
flight from Bagdad some sixty years
earlier.
After his father's death Sir Edward sold
the Queen's Gate mansion and bought the
showy residence In Park Lane London's
"Millionaires' Row" which had been built
by another highly successful Israelite,
Harney Barnuto. Barney committal suicide
before It was ready for his occupancy. He
had mastered the art of making money, but
not of getting enjoyment out of It. Ills
Park Lane house was a monstrosity of
ostentatious bad taste. Sir Edward wrought
a great transformation In Its Interior and
made It a fitting place for the entertain
ment of royalty.
Sir Edward has been a member of Parlia
ment since 19(10 a conservative, of course.
He goes In for Imperialism and painting
as much of the map of the world red aa
possible. There Isn't much of the Bagdad
patrlarofc about him. If he puts enough
money Into his party's war chest say any
thing from L-OO.OOO to $300,000-he will, no
doubt obtain a peerage some day.
Arthur Sassoon, now Reuben ia dead. Is
the prime favorite of the king among the
family.
WOMEN SWARM IN SALOONS
Carrying Babes In Arms They Flock
to the Pnlr" In City of
London.
LONDON, pec. 7. (Special.) Women are
never seen drinking In saloons In America.
If one entered a public house as saloons
are called here and found no woman Im
bibing, he would regard It as an excep
tional experience. During the hours When
the quenching of bibulous thirst Is pursued
with tho greatest ardor, they fairly swarm
In the "pubs" In those of the better as
well as those of the lower class. Most of
them, too, are what are roughly termed
respectable women... to distinguish them
from the fallen sisterhood. And a surpris
ing number of them are accompanied by
babies in arms or children. That Is one of
the most shocking features of England's
national curse drink. "Just as the twig
Is bent the tree's Inclined." A consider
able section of the population Is bent In
early infancy towards the public house.
The Home office has been collecting In
formation about the frequenting of public
houses by women and children and the re
port Just published makes melancholy read
ing. The evil Is worse In London. Twenty
three public houses In tho metropolis were
kept under observation for twelve hours
a day for four days. During that period it
was found that no less than' 39,351 women
and 10,746 children entered them. Of the
children many were Infants In arms. In
the twelve months ending April SO last, 1.068
persons were arrested for bolng drunk
whilst In charge of children under 7 years
of age. Of these 220 were men and 830
women.
Tjje chief constable of Birmingham says
that the practice amongst women of tak
ing infants and young children Into public
houses at all hours from early morning
until late at night ts general and very .ex
pensive. He has seen women giving in
fants a portion of their beer to drink to
make them sleepy and quiet. In the lower
quarters in Birmingham women resort to
the public house shortly after 10 o'clock In
the morning In large numbers, when they
are supposed to be doing their shopping,
and on these occasions they take the
younger children and Infants. The same
thing occurs late at night, especially on
Saturday night. Into ten public houses,
watched for portions of sixteen days, 2.849
young children were taken many of them
were babies in arms.
The chief constable of Manchester re
ports that in the largo manufacturing towns
In the north, Monday Is the day when
women of the lower classes are found in
public houses in the greatest number. They
"invariably," he adds, "take with them
their Infants, and. If their young children
are not In attendance at school, they altto
accompany the rnother to the public house.
On many occasions mothers have been seen
to dip their fingers In the Intoxicating
liquor and by that means give an infant u
taste of the liquor."
Reports from other big cities disclose an
equally deplorable state of affairs. And
yet the publication of the Home office
figures, sensational as they are, are treated
with apathy. No loud clamor has arisen
from any quarter for legislative action that
would put a stop to It. One Influential
London paper discussing the matter editor
ially says, "It Is easier to deplore the evil
than to be sure of finding a remedy. Per
haps there is none wholly adequate; none,
that is, apart from gradually Improvement
in all social conditions." A most melan
choly conclusion, surely. It is not the way
Americans would bo content to treat such
a horrible state of affairs.
JAP QUESTION DISPOSED OF
Foreign Minister Hayaahl Gives Ver

TOKIO, Dee. 7. There Is reason to be
lieve that the entire question of the emi
gration of Japanese to America has been
satisfactorily settled,, at least for the pres
ent, after the sorles of conferences which
have been held between I'nlted States
Ambassador O'Brien and Minister of For

at their last meeting the representative
of the Japanese government outlined a plan
by which It Is agreed to limit emigration
to students and commercial men having
means of support and entirely to prevent
Japanese laborers from going to America.
This arrangement will entail the closest
supervision oh the part of the Japanese
authorities. Aa the agreement Is verbal,
Ambassador O'Brien accepted It provi
sionally, but maintained that any violation
of Its terms would seriously embarrass a
friendly government.
It is raid that Foreljci Minister Hayashl
has determined to exercise sbsolute con
trol In the matter.
Itodolphe Lemleux. the Canadian min
ister of labor, will hold a final conference
with Minister Hayashl and Baron Isbll on
December 9. when he will receive the stm
assurances In regard to a limitation or
emigration to the United States, no more
and no less, the Japanese government being
determined not to give any written note on
the subject.

sight and I had more than $0, and I
knew that If I could live In the open air
my health would return. I looked Into the
possibilities of poultry farming and I made
up my mind that I could make it pay.

she began her experiment Miss Edwards
suffered so much loss from the depreda

shoot. The result Is that she has become
one of the best women shots In the country.
Miss Edwards also preaches at every op
portunity the gospel of tho "fowl in the
pot" for every peasant. She believes that
farm laborers can add to their income ma
terially and to their comfort by keeping
fowls, and that all the labor required can
be dons by the laborer's wife and chil

to go in for poultry rearing and points out
to them how they havo at command nn

their fowls. She also declares that It Is
criminal waste for people with small menus
living In the country to buy eggs or poul

should produce his own supply.

TRAGEDY OF A STRAPHANGER .
Fate of a Woman Ki pound In a; thai
Dor-trine "o Meat, No
Fare."
The evil effects ot overcrowding the
street cars received a new Illustration In
New York the other day. A woman en
tered a car and forced her way Into tho
aisle. Here she found her position so un
comfortable that she finally retreated to the
platform. A wordy combat with the con
ductor followed, the woman insisting that
she was entitled to a seat by virtue of the
fare she paid, and the conductor retorting
that she was welcome to any seat she
could secure. Unhappily, a delivery boy
with four bandboxes waa one of the pas
sengers on the platform. The boxes con
tained four new hats which the boy was
delivering to us many fair customers. The
lad had piled them up In a little pasto
board tower, and was standing guard over
them. When the conductor told the angry
woman to take any seat she could eecure
sho caught sight of the tower of boxes,
and promptly seated herself upon It. There
was a crushing sound, a shriek from the
boy, and a roar from the passengers. Then
they lifted the wrecker from the debris
of furs and feathers and handed her over
to the police and four anxious women
vainly wondered why the hats they had
been promised failed to arrive.
When the halcyon time arrives with
street car seats for all who come aboard,
and cars for all who wish to ride, such
tragedies as that of the crdshed hats will
not be possible. In the meantime, the aisle
crowding and strap hanging public must
possess Its soul In hopeful patience. Cleve
