paper man. The conversation turned on the vari-
Gus foreign princes Processes mobiles and poten-
tates who have visited this country since the open
ing OF the Worlds Fair. The most picturesque and
in some respects the most interesting 1t was
agreed. were those from India. Mr.. Boldt had just
finished telling OF the fondness for American mixed
drinks especially cocktails and fzzes which the
Rajai Rajagan Of Kapurthala had developed within
the borders OF this nation when the RaJah him
self respendcnt in a yellow turban and light brown
suit came in and announced that he was going
down to Long Branch. After duly speeding his
parting guest. Mr. Boldt came back and said:

OF the remarks made about the weather were abso-
lutely unfit for publication. Finally one day the
