The buildings ln'Brunsels and The Hague have been bought, and $4n,f00 the same amount as has been proposed for buying an American embassy is to be spent on an embassy 1n Paris. Some months before the death of Count Tornlelli, the Italian ambassador, nogv tlations were in progress to buy the duko of Talleyrand and Sagan's house In Rue St. Dominique, but they fell through, as it was thought that the house was too small. Italy then renewed the lease of its present house In Rue de Grenille, but only for the rest of the yar. Henry White, the American ambassador, has taken a house In Rue Francois Pre mier. Mr. White, possibly feeling that these are days when the fierce light that beats about a throne is but a candle com pared to the electric glare that floods an American embassy, has given It to be understood that he wishes his house to be respected as his private home and not be written about or photographed, at least as regards the Interior, for publication. It may be properly said that the house is in every way suited for the residence of the representative of a great power, al though It would probably prove too small lf the business part of the embassy had to be carried on In It. The house was In the market for iom" time before Mr. White took it and the price asked was about $400,000. It could probably be bought for $je0,0O0. The rent may be placed at $13,000 a year. After the war with Russia Japan raised Its legation to the rank of an embassy I Ho) IaMn gjjfag ft Mm t. of this effective 2!c dress yard, 11 llQ1 at. yd .

The Japanese government has not bought the house, but rented it for nine years at $10, 0M a year. From the legal point of view .the house is now a little bit of Japan in Paris and the Japanese have made it bo in reality, for all the Internal fittings, the furniture, carpets, wall papers, decorations, curtains, have been brought from Japan. In fact, the house contains nothing hot purely Japanese except the doors, which were made in England, as it was feared that the Japanese wood would not stand the climate, and a few electric lamps, which were made in Paris from Japanese de signs. The house has proved somewhat small for both a residence and an office fi r the ambassador. Austrla-Hungaiy has certainly been the luckiest country in the search for an em bassy, as the Duke de Galliera bequeathed ' his fine house at 57 Rue de Orenelle to the Austro-Hungarian government, which en tered into possession of it on the death of the duchess in lKjvfi. The duke is supposed to have wished to show his gratitude to the emperor, who has decided an Important arbitration case In his favor years before. The British embassy, at 39 Hue Fau bouig St. llonore, was bought by the Brit ish government in lbl5 for $!W).X) from the duke of Welinglon, mho hud bought it the year before for $iu0,uoo. Its present value is estimated by Mr. Vye-Farmlnter. the architect to the embassy, at from $1,4:o,0u0 to $l,6OO,0uO, its value being somewhat re duced by an old regulation forbidding the erection of any build'ngs on the portion of rn Grand Clearing Sale ef SILKS Thousands of yards of this season's best sell ing silks offered at a fraction of their worth.

The original mansion was built about 1717 for the Duo de Charont. Benjamin Frank lin was a tenant of it for some time m-hen ambassador to France and fitted It with the first lightning rod seen In France. Paul ne Bonaparte, the Princess Borg hese, Napoleon's sister, occupied the house during the empire and added lavishly lo the decoration of the room. The beautiful empire furniture, decorated with finely chiselled bronze, which filled her bedroom, was included in the sale price to the Brit ish government and would alone be valued today at a higher sum .than mas paid fur the whole property. The British government spent $115,000 in Improvements In 1906 and Is this year mak ing further additions, as King Edward often stays at the embassy. The German embassy, at 88 Rue de Lille, has a history similar to the British em bassy. Prince Eugene de Beauharnais. son of Napoleon's first mlfe by her first hus band. Viscount de Beauharnais, bought the palace in 1'3 and made it one of the finest of the time. The king of Prussia, who had once stayed there as a guest, bought It in 1S07 and made it into the Prussian legation. He only paid $i.0)0 for It, while today the house, mlth the fine garden that belongs to It, would realize somewhere about ts, Ouo.

Lord Lans dowrje's eldest son. the earl of Kerry, who has been returned lately to the House of Commons from West D rl.yshlre, is fort unate in having been unopposed at the election. Had it not !een so he probably would have been seriously handicapped by a nasty fall in the hui.ting field which oc curred a few diys before the polling. Ho landed on his face and auccessf ully re moved most of his front teeth by the swiftest form c.f dentistry knows. While this might srem a serious hindrance to a nntential Darliamenlarlan. It Is one that ils easily remedied with a little time, thanks! to the Invasion of American dental meth ods.

Since his marriage, Lord Kerry has been assiduously cultivating the affections of his Irish tenantry. As a matter of fact, he has always very popular with the count rysldu people, who lived near his and his father's estate. During the South African war. prayers were publicly offered for his safety In both the I'rotestant and Roman. Catholic churches of the neighborhood.

As a general thing, such a compsny would he put through Its pre liminary caces at the theater where It Is to make its bow to the public, but cir cumstances often prevent. Either tho stage ts In use for other purposes, or Inn production Is to be made out of town and the manager does not want to travel away from London to superintend the rehearsals, dramatic societies hold fitth from Its little Maiden lane house comes in handy. It must nut be supposed, however,' that it never reaches the dignity of seeing a real production . before a real audience. Frequently amateur and even professional ilramati societies hold forth from Its llt'l stage and quite often socialistic orators and suffragettes cut up capos there befuri sympathetic audiences. The seating capacity of the theater U only l'A but, despite its limits of space. It boasts a gallery. The stage measure eighteen feet by twenty-four feet. Soma of the plays which are rehearsed"! here are taken in hand by the stage manager In in stallments, th re being hardly room enough for the full company to get abooi est the stage at one time.
