LONDON, Dec 36. (Special.) Never was
an American debutant boomed here as
'j Mora Langhorna has been. "It positively
makes one wild." said the budding- daugh
ter of a famous Irish peer to ma the other
day, "to hear the fuss which the advent
of young Mrs. Astor's alster Is creating. 1
have seen her photograph and I don't see
there Is anything extraordinary about her
She was expected over last year. I do
wl she had come for then she would
have been disposed of married, I mean.
Instead she lands the very year I am
about to make my debut. It's Just hsteful
of her. Father heard at the club," she
Went on, "that If she were a royal prlnoess
her appearance would not cause halt so
much excitement. Ths men are wild to see
her. That confirmed bachelor. Prince Fran-
rls of Teck. was Just raving about her. It
Deems he caught a glimpse of her in her
sister's box at the theater ths other night."
Awalttan- tier Presentation.
At the great ball the bachelors gave one
night lately there was much weeping and
gnashing of troth as Nora did not come
with Mrs. Astor. That lady Is determined
that her sister Is not to be seen about
much until she has In the orthodox fashion
made her appearance in court a clever
stroke on her part for the fact that she Is
being kept back makes people all ths more
snitous to sea her.
Mrs. Astor Intends to take a big town
house directly after Christmas In order to
launch Nora Langhorn in the most elegant
style possible. She means to give a mag
nificent ball, the granduer and brilliancy
of which will take the wind out of the
sails of every other hostess for soma time
to come. It is understood among the As
tors' friends that no one of leaser rank
than a peer must presume to glance in the
direction of Nora. It won't by any means
surprlsa them if the Borons Highness) al
ready referred to were to lay his heart
at her feet. But have the Langhorn
money? All the beauty In the world Is no
use to Teck without that. Is any case a
most brilliant future Is assured this young
American girl If aha plays her cards properly.
Tiny Ds Csaslaes,
Smart Americana are going wild with
delight over the little Diu do Chaulnss.
A bell Amerlcalne, who was here the
other day from Paris and had mad the
acquaintance of his smalt grace, before

sweetest thing that eyes ever ranted
upon." From all quarter be has been

sent to him. Many are from utter
stranger and many have arrived
anonymously.
Henoeforth his ' mother (who was. It
will ba remembered. Miss Shonts,) will be
one of the grandes dames of the Parisian
aristocracy, a position out of which no
on can now do her. The presence of
the little duo decide the fact that his
mother will henceforth make her late
husband's native land her headquarters.
Before the traglo death of the late due
there was a movement on foot In his
wife's family to buy back the magnifi
cent ancestral estates of the D Chaulnes
family and present them to him, but
negotiations were cut short by his death.
Now It Is said on excellent authority that
the Shonts are mora anxloua than ever
to acquire back the horn of the child'
parental ancestors. The De Chaulnes are
among the oldest nobility of France, but.
as waa well known at the time of .-the
due' marriage, they are very poor. The
young duchess It was thought after the
death of her husband would go back to
America and live with her parent. Later
there was mention of her taking a Lon
don house, but this, too, fell through. Of
course she ha her enemies who would
have liked to have seen her retire to
America and abandon the superlatively
arlstocratla position which she holds as
Duchesae De Chaulnes. Their anticipa
tion were not realised, however.
The Shonts girls used to be very well
known here and, although they could
scarcely be called pretty, they had a heap
of charm and were very popular. Their
mother, too, has crowds of friends In
London.

Th marriage of George Weatinghouse.
sou of Mr. Westlnghouse of PUtsburg.
with Kvelyu Brocklebank, which was
fixed for December 1, has again been
poatponed on account of the former's ill
ness. The bride Is a daughter of the
Immensely wealthy Sir Thomas Brockle
bank, who Is one of the great magnatea
of the north of England. He has several
country seats, on of which Is sltuatd
outside Liverpool. The Brocklebanks are
fairly well known In London and their
frlenda would have liked to have had
the wedding take place here. Instead,
however, It will be solemnised In Cum
berland, where the bride's father ho a
seat called Irton Halt
The story goes that there is no man
for showering gifts like an American brlde
gToom and the presents which Miss
Brocklebank has had from th Pittsburg
young man are stuSnlng and th envy
of every woman who haa seen them. Dia
mond, sablee, lace, historic Jewels every
thing that th most faatidViu girl could
pin for ha been placed at her feet.
Talking about the exqulsll gift so

fact that British -men are now nearly all
hard up and decidedly mean to boot, they
consider It would ba very advisable to

Rarely baa even a royal patient been
moved about with such precaution or such
luxury as has been bestowed upon Mrs.
Al merle Paget, who Is one of the fore
most Americans In London and a member
of the royal set. For several months now
Mr. Paget has been seriously 111, some
time being at death's door. Like the
usual American she Is so full of energy
that she make a very bad patient and
directly she gets a little better she defies
doctors and nurses and does something
wildly Indiscreet. She has had pneumonia,
pleurisy, congestion of the lungs and a
variety of other troubles all In the last
few months and was so weak from the
effect that two doctor and three nurses
accompanied her to Egypt where ah now
la For the most part the trip was mads
by special trains and special boats, every
precaution having to be taken to save her
exertion. The patient Is making a tour
up the banks of the Nil and the party
have several dahabeahs in which they are
residing. Mr. Aim eric Paget has now left
to Join his wife, having been detained In
London owing to important business. The
latest accounts of Mrs. Paget are more
satlnfactnry, but It is generally known that
If she means to spend more years on this
planet she will have to be exceedingly
careful of herself for the future.

ENGLAND MUST RAISE WIND
Chancellor of the Exchequer Haa
Thaakle Task Ahead
f Him.
LONDON, Dec 18. (Special.) Lloyd
Oeorge, chancellor of the exchequer, haa
one of the biggest and most thankless tasks
of his political life ahead of him. It Is
nothing more or less than the devising
of new methods of taxation to meet the
rapidly Increasing national deficit. As he
himself has picturesquely described it he
must "look for new henroosts to rob" and
predictions are now In order and are being
widely made as to the particular quarter
of the barnyard he will turn his atten
tion to.
Various schemes have been put forward,
more or less authoritatively, but In al
most every case It was evident that the
wish was father to the thought As far
as ths chancellor himself Is concerned he
has but to examine the old record of the
department over which ha rule to find
an almost endless variety of means - of
"raising th wind." all of them tried and
found useful by his predecessors in office,
fhlsaney Master.
For instance, there was th "chimney
money." In ItHO Parliament voted a tax
of 60 cents a year on every chimney In
England. Some idea of the enormous
amount such a tax would yield today can
be gathered when It Is said that a major
ity of th houses of London and th other
big English cities boast as many as fif
teen chimneys apiece. Few of them have
less than ten. That It proved a heavy
burden In thus days la vtdent, for It waa
lmcnacly unpopular. Pepys records three
months after the passing of the law: "Much
clamor against the chimney money and
the people say they will not pay It without
force."
It waa not until October, 1666, however,
that it was successfully "moved that the
chimney money might be taken from the
king and an equal revenue of something
else might be found for the king, and
people be enjoined to buy off this tax of
chimney money forever at eight years'
purchase, which will raise present money,
as they think, 1.600,000, and the state be
eased of an ill burden and the king be
supplied of something as good or better
for his use."
Tax I'pon Timepieces.
A little over 100 years ago every clock,
either inside or outside a house, was taxed
J1.2B a year. If you were lucky enough to
own a gold watch and It came to the offi
cial notice you were compelled to add $2.50
to ths publlo exchequer. If your spending
money were limited and your timepiece
sported only a sliver case, the sum of $1.75
was demanded of you. Furthermore, your
Jeweler waa compelled to pay a tax of 60
cents a year for the privilege of Bulling
such luxuries to you.
One of the most curious of all taxes waa
that Imposed upon windows. This ranged
from $1 for one to six windows to $340 every
twelve months for 180 windows. The quite
natural result of this tax waa the closing
up of many windows with bricks. Parlia
ment promptly devised a trick worth two
of that and Imposed a tax of $1.25 upon
every 1.000 bricks. The legislators "put
the lid on It," however, when they Imposed
a tax of $5 a year on everybody who used
hair powder. ,
Dealers In women's hats were taxed $10
a year and In this connection an amusing
hint haa been given to the chancellor. In
th olden day the Individual hat were
taxed a varying amount dependent upon
their value. It has been suggested that If
Ui hat of the moment be taxed at o much
per square inch there would be no neces
sity for "robbing any other henroosts" to
make up the estimated deficit of $lo0.ouu,Uu0.
LONDON'S "POURED" BUILDINGS
Coarret C'oaatrert loa Great Mystery
to Cockneys to Whosa It Ha
Bees Shown.
LONDON. Dec, J6. (Special.) "Poured
buildings" or reinforced concrete structures
are th latest wonders in London Just now,
Though this process of putting up buildings
has long been known In America, its ad
vent In England 1 of recent date, and, for
various reasons. It Is attracting a great
deal of public attention.
What haa brought the question of brick'
leas and stbneless buildings to the fore
Is the fact that the British government Is
putting up a great new wing to Jhe general
postoince by th new process. Triers is
not a brick r stone In the entire structure;
and th speed with which ths work la being
done la simply astonishing th natives.
From th trad union point of 1w, th
government la severely criticised for In
troducing "labor-saving" building into
government contracts at a time when th
unemployed question la so pressing, and
when more than 2S per cent of unemploy
ment is la In bulUlng trad itself. But
the government has been more Influenced
by questions of economy than by anything
else, and the "poured building" fills the
bill at aDout one-third less cost than an
ordinary structure, even In brick. In stone,
of course, the difference Is almost two
thirds less in favor of pouring.
The new postofflce building Is being
constructed according to the Hennebrlque
system a French Invention, though It dif
fers little from the American application
of the same principle. Great Iron rods ex
tend throughout ,.the frame work, and
around these cement is poured, being kept
In place by boards until It Is quite solid.
It Is claimed that the concrete solidifies
quite to the hardness of stone, and the
structure will last as long, and bear as
much weight as the strongest stone build
ings. The new postofflce wing has tremendously
deep Joundatlona, as It was found that the
soil near St. Paul' cathedral, where It Is
situated, was not of the character to sup
port a great building, unless the founda
tions were exceptionally well laid.
Considerable mystery haa surrounded the
putting up of this new postofflce wing.
The work haa been delayed a long time,
and although It should have been given out
four year ago, nothing was done until
quite recently. The secret of the delsy
Is to be found In the fact that the English
government was so hard hit over the Boer
war that they could not enlarge the post
office until It had recovered Its financial
equilibrium. The government haa been
promising to give out this work for so
long, and it haa been so much delayed that
people began to think nothing would ever
be done. In the final adoption of the Hen
nebrlque system, the expectations of out-of-work
builders, bricklayers and contrac
tors have been sorely disappointed. Though
aeveral deputations have waited on the
government and requested that an ordinary
stone building should be put up similar
to the new war office the request was
turned down owing to reasons of economy.
The cost of the new building Is to be, on
completion, $1.20.000.
Now that the government has gone In
for "pouring" their buildings, private con
tractor will take up the work. There are
already three or four big "pouring" build
ings in London, the largest being at 38
Victoria street, a great office structure,
but, so far, the British contractor has not
taken to them 'very favorably. He was
hard to convince that they were not of
flimsy character, but It only needed the
government to set Its seal of approval on
the process to give the new scheme a
chance.

SOCIAL FAME FOR THE PRICE
Press ,,Puff, Easily Secured in En
gland by the Person with Money.
EASIEST WAY" TO DISTINCTION
Persistent Efforts In that Direction
Open Sesame to Most Exclu
sive Circles The Royal
Enclosure.
LONDON, Dec 2. (Special.) "Fame,
nowadays, simply means more press no
tices," saya an Kngllsh society dame who
has recently denounced the practice of pay
ing for "news" Items In the columns of
the big London dallies. It Is not generally
known that anyone however obscure can
buy as many "lines" as he, or she, likes
In the society columns of any big London
paper. Thus "Mrs. Smith-hyphen Bmythe"
can have her daughter's marriage toi
"Jones-de-la-Jeemes" announced In the
same column in which the king's visit to
Marlenbad may bo recorded. Of course It
come high, but If you wish to. butt Into
society you have to have It. For Instance,
her are the rate for such notices In the
principal sheets.
Fame at So Mnch "Per."
Six line in the Time will rnet the
social swimmer $7.50, while the Dally Tele
graph only allows four line to appear In
the body of th paper for $6, extra line
costing $1 each. Thus you can buy fame
at so much "per" In the paper that claims
to have the largest really and truly cir
culation of any 2-cent paper In the world.
Tho Dally Mall, well knowing that publicity
la one of the essentials to social fame, and
that wealthy people must have It no matter
what It costs, boldly charges $2.50 per line,
and gets It. AH th other big Lnndn
paper make exorbitant charge, and even
the out of town papers with big circula
tions shake golden apples from the social
boodle tree.
In the expense bills of those who partic
ipate In the London "season," newspaper
advertising figure si one of the largest
Items. Borne of these accounts run Into
$10.00 a year. Of course the Incorruptible
English newspapers do not run "reading
notice" departmenta. and thy would
probably refuse to do a page write-up
even at a fa&uloua price, but by Judiciously
spreading your advertising over a lengthy
period and disguising your "notices" so
cleverly thst the ordinary reader dot s not
recognise the manufactured product, you
can spend quite as much money in another
way without laying the paper open to the
charge of venality.
Borne of the newspapers charge four or
five times the rate her quoted for In
serting unimportant paragraphs between
announcements coi i. jcted with the king
and royal family. The rate vary In ac
cordance with th Importance of the royal
personage. Of course It costs more to be
next to the king or queen than to appear
near a prince or duke.
Getting; Nest ta th King.
Another phase of th money side of social
advancement. On payment of sums ranging
)
up to $2,500 you can get Into th "royal en
closure" at the race. This Is managed
by person In high places who need money.
Several blue-blooded but Impecunious mem
bers of the aristocracy have an Inherited
right to tickets to all functions In which
royalty is expected to mix. They get these
tickets from the lord chamberlain's office,
and though they do not want to go to these
affairs themselves, the tickets have a high
commercial value. The nouveaux rictu s
are most anxious to "circulate" In the royal
set and the next best thing to actually bo
Ing a member of the exclusive!. Is to appear
to be one. Not long ago. King Edward
asked !lie name of a lady to whom h stood
quit clone In the royal enclosure at Ascot.
The lord chamberlain's secretary was
greatly embarrassed to find that the lady
In question held a ticket which she had
"acquired" from a member of the aristoc
racy. After that incident, the lord chamber
lain adopted the custom of marking th
tckets to many royal functons as "not
transferable," but even this has not put a
stop to th custom.
Money for Introducing
There Is another very flourishing 'Itng
for the depleted purse aristocracy, and they
work It for all it 1 worththls Is "Introduc
ing." This system Is taken advantage of by
many wealthy Americana For Instance, on
payment of a fee to a certain high society
dame, you can be guaranteed an Invitation,
for a week-end on board the yacht of a
real lord of Cowes In the height of th sea
son. Many social entrees hav been mad
from th saloon deck of aom lord' yacht.
The people who engineer these "little mat
ters" are supposed to be absolutely beyond
approach, and It requires the greatest tact
and naturally the highest of fees to bring;
them orr successfully. "Introductions" cost
anywhere from $4,000 a year up to $10.00
according to the particular "set" into which
one decides to force his wsy. Memberships
to "exclusive" clubs are also obtained at
fixed fees.
Another extremely popular form of achiev
ing social distinction Is the employment of
a press agent to manage publicity booms of
a mild order. It la the duties of this agent
to see that his principal Is Invited to all th
swell affairs, and to Interview the reporters,
giving them Information In which the name
of his particular client figures largely. In
this way a large amount of free advertising;
Is obtained. Many press agents are women i
quite a number of them occupying semi-Important
positions themselves In society.
