The Prince Of Wales Gives the Highest Praise to an American
 Invention.

He said he wanted to be saved the annoyance of going to one place for his wardrobe, another place for his writing utensils, still another place for his bureau and some where else for mirror. He wanted them all combined. The landlord stroked his beard d second, and then very humbly begged his lordship's pardon and at the same time conducted hlS distinguished guest into a room where stood Standard Folding Bed, to the supreme delight of the prince and his friends.
