to take part In aomn of the gaieties of the
early season. Before Miss French married
Alfred Vanderbilt she had many admirers
on this -aide. notably the son of a ponular
dukel who la atill unmarried. The roman
tically Inclined are weaving- an Interesting
and circumstantial story anent this fart.

Children note Holiday Hrunn,
As .1 write the children have It all their
own '.way. The festivities of the moment
are all be Inn Riven In their honor. No
smart woman, even If ahe haa not a nursery
of her own, connldora ahe haa done her so
clal duty unleas ahe haa Invited all the
youngsters ahe known to come and listen
to Punch and Judy, to play blind man's
buff and to accept from her presents of the
moat efaborate order. Kmrwtng how amaz
ingly faatldioua and blase the children of
the moment are many women are having oil
the gifts on the Christmas trees Bent direct
from Paris.
Mra. Qlaagow, whose little daughter la
t egarded aa one of the prettiest children In
Londorjrand la quite a chum of King Ed
ward'a, calmly depositing her amall person
on hbr majesty's knee whenever the oppor
tunity arises Is Just now at her new man
sion, 17 Berkeley Square. One day next
week adores of the smartest children in
town Will bo making merry there. MIsb
(ilangow will' be able to show her guests
the king and, queen'a Chrlstmaa presents to
herself. The former, knowing her predilec
tion for postcards, snt her an album on
which la her Initials In Bllver. No doubt
she will place In It the series of cards de
pleting the king and quoen with which his
majesty presented her lust autumn at Mi
rieenbad. Christmas with Mnrllioroaifhs.
Although the duchrss of Marlborough Is
In tho Engadlne It Is London toys and
sweets . she la presenting to her son's
friends. Huge boxes of these have been
dispatched to her at the Villa Suvretta.
The duchess and her boys are very Kng
lish in all their tastea and both Hngllsh tur
keys arxj plum puddings were Included In
tlie hampers which were forwarded from
Sunderland House. Never Is the ducheaa
so happy as when her boya are playing
hosts. The young marquis of Ulandford Is
tip to all aorta of boylah tricks. In which hla
brother Ivor haa been unable to Join thla
year, however, he being still far from
strong.
Veritable; "dreams" In frocks are being
worn st the children'a parties In London,
and they era nearly always of the "picture"
order. .Littla -girls are now permitted to
wear a, elngle row of amall pearla at their
necks. Thesa are quite aa valuable In their
way aa those .donned by their mothers. It
Is generally admitted that American leaders
of society have had a good deal to aay in
setting the. vogue In favor of children, who
are undoubtedly helping to cut out the
lap do gal
Another American mother who la giving
tha babies a good time Is young Mrs. Astor,
who Ik tiavlng 'a succession of children'a
parties at Oleveden. In order to make the
(lace accessible for town children, ahe

Coantr Kntertatns Americana.
Fulwell park, on the river near Twicken
ham, Is one of the finest residences in that
direction. Shortly beforw Chrlatmaa Count
Ward returned there, having been absent
for a couple of months, during which time
he was motoring through somewhat un
beaten tracks In Italy, Franeh and Spain.
As I write his house Is full of Americans.
A few . Britishers who dined there on
Christmas night tell me they were for the
First time 'Introduced to turkey served with

It a rather wierd concoction.

Ingford. where the erl of (Jr.inard'B
Irish estates are situated, is greatly agi
tated over the coming advent of the future
countess of Granard. The people have de
cided to give her and Lord Granard the
typical Irish "hauling bom." They will be
met at the station by all the tenants and
crowds of the peasants, who will be ac
companied by a brass band, not to speak
of fifes and drums. The most stalwart
of the "h-iys" will carry on their shoulders
barrels containing blaxlng tar. After Lord
and lJy Granard have taken their seats
In the carriage the horses will be dotached
and the vehicle will be drawn the entire
way home. This is what Is called "haul
ing the brldo home." Of late years tha
custom has fallen Into disuse owing to the
fact that "the guntry," otherwise the land
lord class, have been out of favor with the
fsBople. Lord Granard, however, though
by no means a wealthy man for his tvnsl
tlon, has never got on the wrong side with
his tenants, who have been vastly pleased
to learn that he Is determined to spend
part of his honeymoon patriotically among
his own people. His atay In Ireland will
be short, aa it will be Imperative for him
to be present at the opening of Parliament
In his capacity of master of the horse. It
Is anticipated that the new countess will
tnaJte her first appearance as a brlda on
that orcaalon In the peeresses' gallery. This
will furnish her with a chance of wearing
as many of her Jewels as she ct) eg to don,
for It is a possibility always seised by ladies
with such possessions to show them to all
and sundry.

ago the countess decided to have the fa

decorated In a style suiting the period ot
me nouse. adding every modern comfort
In the way of divans, armchairs, cushions
and luxurious lighting and heating. These
cloisters are now voted among tho most
Interesting parta of the great ubbey. At
the further end la the ghost chamber,
which has also been brought up to date
in tho matter of comfort. It Is in this
quarter of the historic house that tlie
countess Is now holding many of the
Christmas revels, llur young son, Vis
count L'ffingtc;n. Is nearly as tall as his
mother. Ever since his birth he has sim
ply ruled not only his parents, but his
grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bradley Mar
tin. It seems it was in the first instance
Viscount L'fflngton's Idea to have the ghost
chamber and cloisters made habitable In
order that there might be Christmas revels
held in them. As he has never yet been
efused anything, It goes without saying
his idea of his was accepted as a brilliant
notion and was carried out to the letter.

RACY MEM0IRS SUPPRESSED
Book of Famous English Beautr
Wlthdrawn After II Ik Check
t'hanirri Hands.
LONDON, Jan. 16. (Special.) Literary.
social and political circles la England have
beon aflutter for the last few days over
the news which has managed to leak out
that the eagerly awaited memoirs of one
of tha most famous of titled Rngllsh
beauties have been suppressed. Almost
bofore the printer's Ink waa dry on the
roofa of what was expected to be the
moat Interesting, because the most frank
book of the century, powerful Influence waa
brought to bear upon the daring authoresH
by representatives of a certain exalted
ptrsonage who was said to f Inure rath -r
prominently In the narrative. But the rep
resentatives found tho noblewoman cold
and unyielding to pleadings, arguments,
thrents and offers of money and ulti
mately ahe was given up as an Impossible
proposition. Not so her publisher, to whom
it was pointed out that persistence In hla
Intention to publish the book meant ruin.
He eventually siw the matter In that
light and called all deals off.
The tabooed memoirs unfolded marvelous
stories about royalties and society In the
magic circle. There were tales of mys
terious checks presented In high places by
wealthy Jews and millionaire Americans,
of social and lolitltnl Intrigues In the
I ritlsh war office, Incidents of marriages
that were arranged In which the Identity
of the dramatis personae was bo thinly
veiled as to be easily pierced by anyone
even on the fringe of society. There were
spicy stories of country house parties In
every chapter and scandals of cheating ot
card tables, pome of which were revived
after having been buried for years. Tj
put It mildly the secrets revealed would
have set the hulr of the mlddlo classes
andlng on end had they been read of In
cold print.
The book was compiled for a variety
of reasons, the prominent one being that
the author had quarreled with
....
0, -.-.,
members of the set In whlrh she once wss
a brignt ana pariicuiar star, sue miw
wanted money. Had the book been pub
lished she and her publisher would have
been overwhelmed by a golden stream. It
Is calculated that for each there was at
hast I500.0UO in the hook. For not only
would It haw been bought greedily In the
United Kingdom, but the continent, Amer
ica and the colonics would all have, so to
speik, screamed aloud for It.
When the exact nature of the book's
contents became known In high place the
influential relations and frlwnda of the
writer put pressure upon her and reasoned
the matter out with her, suylng that its
publication would ruin absolutely everyone
connectd with her. It was fur'her ex
plained to her that her very clever aon'a
future would be nipped in the bud.
In a week or two tho author accented
tho situation, but only on tho condition
that thoae retaponalhle for the withdrawal
should In some aubatantlal degree make
up for the loss she was suntatnlng through
the suppression of the volume.
Meetings were held at the publisher's
offices with the result that a very hind
some check changed hsmls. It Is an open
secret that the fund for this purpose was
raised by some of the" mont eminent people
In England. A definite agreement was
signed vrm,9lng that tha memoirs would
never see the light and that all further
reference to them would be withheld from
the press.

To
make your memory of the greatest
offer, commencing on Monday, such values as to make our object unmistakable. All odd garments,
all broken lots, all odd pieces in the various departments have been gone over carefully. The edict
has gone forth "Dollars for Dry Goods'', Desirability, value, cost, have had but little consideration.
In a few days we invoice. Realizing that 'tis easier to count dollars than figure up the dry goods,
we are going to count dollars. You will help the work along; you can't help it; prices won't let you.
At the linon section there hnsn't been a min
ute since the excitement started on January the
second when our men have had time to pet tlie
stock straightened. As we write this it is impos
sible to get small lots in shape to advertise. There
are however small lots of cloths, napkins, towels,
eluny pieces, etc., and they will be sold very cheap
on Monday. You'll take our word for that we
never fooled you yet. Get in line then early on
Monday at the linen counter. '
Final word 'on woven and madras shirts for
men, all sizes, good makes. Shirts which sold up
to $1.00 Monday take your pick at 39c each. Full
fashioned socks for men, many excellent fancies
the 25c quality will go at 121i;C.
Women's Hosiery Here's something real in
teresting. A lot of fine fashioned fancy lisle; cot
ton, lace and plain black, all color lisles, which
have sold up to 50c, will go at 18c a pair.
Mighty little attention has been given to rem
nants. We find a vast accumulation ginghams,
percales, muslins, sheetings, silkolines, outings,
flannelettes, cotton dress goods, woolen dross
goods, silks, etc. all at exactly one-half price,
Monday.
Monday starts the last week of the great
blanket clearing sale. The sheeting sale lasts just
six days more.
On Main Floor The fine cotton goods cot
ton and silk also all the fine ginghams, madras
linings, etc., which can in any sense be considered
short lengths or remnants, will go at half price.
Take fair warning.
This opportunity will
not knock at your door
again.

W0BSE THAN PAEIS OR NEW YORK
Declares that American Cltlea Art
Morally Superior to Knallsh
Capital Scores British for
Stolid Senaaallty.
L.ONDON. Jan. 10. (Special ) "London la
the wlckedeat city on earth." la the start
ling assertion of Rev. W. Klngscote Green
land, one of England's foremost social re
formers and ex-chaplain of Ita largest
penal settlement, Dartmoor Prison. He has
arrived ot this conclusion only after years
of patient and mature consideration, dur
ing which he has compared the English
metropolis with New York, Chicago, and
varloua European capitals. Furthermore,
he Is prepared to back up hla atatement
with an array of lurid facts.
Rev. W. Klngscota Greenland, who
brings this serious Indictment against the
world's metropolis, haa had a wide experi
ence. He has devoted his life to sociology,
and ia fumlllar with all the countries ot
Kurope, having been an extanslvs
traveler In France, Germany, Italy,
AuatrU. Spain and elaewhere, knowing
their language and their peoples and, more
than this, their vices. Comparing them all,
and making allowance for national traits,
climate, conditions and other mitigating
clicumstrancea he atill maintains that
dear old Ixindon deservea tha fate meted
out to the wicked cltlea of the Itiblu. The
I author of this chargo against London has

U'ked people at first hand, In the largest
prison in Englund. where he was chap
lain for many years.
Declares .oaiion Worst Ever.
In the course ot a recent interview he
explained tn detsll why he conaldered
London "the worst ever."
'In the first place, " ha said, "take the
question of Immorality of London. I notice
that many English people speak of London
as thougli It were the pink of purity, but
they support what they any merely by
pointing out that London Is not as bad
a it was. But if 1 suy today la a wet
day. It Is no disproof of my statement to
suy that Is was very much wetter yester
day. "Without a doubt." he continued, "Lon
don has become the world's capital of
vice. Its Immorality Is of the solid, sen
suul sort, unredeemed by the Frenchman's
grace and artistry of lovemaking or the
eastern's glamor. Whatever Its streets
were like In the past, they are at this
moment a disgrace to civilization."
"Do you maintain that London ia worse
than larlB?"
"You may stroll about Parts all day
and night and never be troubled," waa
the reply. "When comparing London with
l'arls." he continued, "or Indeed any two
cities, a national standard of morals must
be taken into account. If a man In Cairo
or Constantinople has three wives, we are
not Justified In calling him Immoral, be
cause It Is allowed under the Mohammedan
faltli. but a three-wlved man In Iondon
or Paris or New York Is Indictable. Lon
don's Immorality, therefore, is Immeasurably
the worse because of London's avowed
standard of morals,
"I suppose you know that the notorious
show houses of vice In Paris that figure so
luridly In tha after experience of the 8at-urday-to-Monday
English gentlemen are
kspt by Americans and English, and the
famous Moulin Rouge, with Ita ean-ran
dance, la run by the brother of one of our
greatest English comedians? All Parisians
laugh at It and disown It and aay that It
Is kept entirely 'for the English.'
"And tha American dUwsT" I asked.

"Do you consider them bettor or worse
than London?"
"Personally I do not know the cltlea of
America," said the reverend gentleman,
"and though from Information which
pours Into one's ears every day about them
one feels sufficiently competent, at least
to Institute comparisons, I wlU not do so,
because I have nvver trodden their streets
actually. This I hope to correct next
August, when I am trying to arrange to
accept a' few engagements at your great
Chautauqua gatherings.
"I may find Chicago and New York," he
continued "better or worse than Mr. H. O.
Wells, Mr. Donald Fraaer and scores of
others have found them, hut there Is one
thing I am confident I cannot find them,
and that is worse than London. If they
are not absolutely better, bud though they
are, then someone haa been tPlling me
fairy tales about tho United Stutes all my
life."
Loisrlona Lives of Londoners.
"But the lives of the people themselves,
aside from the strictly moral side," 1 fur
ther questioned; "is there not more luxury
and wealth squandering In America and
Franca than In Englund?"
"Aa to London's pleasure," he answered,
"look at Its hotels which have multiplied
so rapidly lately; their extravagance in
flowers, wines and dress Is only rlvulled
by stories of tha luxurious east In barbaric
limes, or the carnival lit the sensuous
revival of the Renaissance. Think of the
amount spent on pleasure In London on
one night In which almost all olaases par
ticipate. A woman cotfessd to my slater
at dinner not long ago that she never wore
a dress under any circumstances that cost
less than 1360. It has recently been said
that $10,000 a year for an English society
woman'a dresses Is a very moderate al
lowance. "Then, again," he continued, "take Lon
don'a contempt for humanity. Where ara
mea and women so cheap? If you ask for
a raise in wages you are at once told that
If an advertisement Is put In the papers
tomorrow morning there will be 250 men at
least, as well educated as you, not to say
better, clamoring at the doois to take yuur
Job at considerably less money than you
are now receiving. I have been living close
to Walthanistow, which is cleikdom, und a
more tragic locality hardly exists In the
world. It Islhe tragedy of silk-hatted,
frock - coated, s'lk - Uloused respectability
supporting Itself and Its pitiful llitlo villa
on $160 a year, haunted by tho terror of
sickness and the coming un of the devitlluz-
ing years. They dare not protest lest they
should lose the ilSO and then the abyss. .
Truth Tellers are Hated.
"The only man In London who has dared
In my memory to tell anything approximate
to the truth In these matters Is Mr. R. J.
Campbell, and he Is bated and denounced
accordingly, for In my humbly judgment
his voice Is the most Christian, not to say
the only voice In Ijndon with the authentic
ring uf Naaareth and the Sorinun on thu
Mount in It. This is quite apart from my
attitude on the New Theology."
"It Is generally supposed, despite all that
you say against London," 1 suggested,
"that the English metropolis Is the most
charitablo place In the world. Have you
any views on this point?"
"Yes, London is charitable," was the re
sponse, "but It Is philanthiopy by proxy.
We give our money, not ourselves. We
send subscriptions to charitable institu
tions, but we would not for the life of us
do the actual distributing. In all the
churches and I preach for all denomina
tions there Is an Hi-concealed dislike of
tlie poor. There are numbers of our great
religious men, who give great a ims to In-
all'u'lonal churches snd the like, who have
made, and are still making, their money
by underpaying their employes. At the
cash desk they are business man; at th
charitable organisation meetings they are
philanthropist. They knock their men
and women down relentlessly, then with a

Generous Men Underpay Employe.
- "One of the most generous men to
ohnrches in London I have ever known,
who thought nothing of giving $2,500 to a
building scheme for ,a new school room,
and spends two hours of every morning
before breakfast n reading Thomas a Kern
pis, dismissed his governess, whom he ad
mitted was the soul of 'the domestic
smoothness of his house, and who" was
adored by his wife and children, because
she asked that he would add US to the an
nual salary of $100, which he was then pay
ing her. He snld he could not afford It.
though his name Is at this moment on one
of the largest commercial undertakings In
London, and on scores of foundation stones
In religious buildings. This story is true
because tho girl ia my sister.
"For Its size and population no cltyls
more Irreligious than London. Only one In
seven of Its population attend any place of
worship. ThTe are many parts of London
where Sunday does not suggest to anybody
anything of a religious character what -ever.
It la not that they break the Sab
bath; they have no idea it Is the Babbath.
"We are a heathen city, the heathen city
par excellence. From the religious paper
you might gather that all the churches
were bent on the social gospel and ara giv
ing themselves to Institutional work. Be
llflve me. It Is a fairy tale. In hundreds of
our churches Congregational, Baptist and
Methpdlat any allusion to Just wages,
righteous holidays for employes or decont
housing accommodations la regarded as an
Intrusion of secularlty Into the atmosphere
of the day of rest and an Introduction of
politics Into the pulpit. This must remain
ao long aa our churches ara financed by
social and economic law-breakers."
Finds Some Improvement.
"Do you consider things to be getting
better or worse?"
"Of course, we have made Immense Im
provement," he replied, "and to the county
council and to religious people, as well aa
nonrellgtous people of all sorts, great credit
and deep gratitude is due, but these do not
