4 S1.000.000 COTTAGE.
Dir. and Mrs. Ogden G0elt have never
lived i'm their cottage, although 1t was
completed three years ago. The build
ing is of Indiana granite, and the style
of architecture is particularly pleasing.
The ccst of the building when COM
pleted was 81 100000, exclusive OF the
land. which was only One-third OF Cor
nelius Vauderbits bin.
Great interest centres about the open
ing of the G0elet cottage, for it is be-
he,od by those who ought to know that
p. II. u. the Prince of Wales is coming
over as the Coelets' guest during the
races between the Defender and Val
kyrio III. The G0elets have been cruis-
ing for more than a year on the yacht
White Ladye, which they leased from
Mrs. Langtry. The beautiful yacht was
given to the actress by Squire Abingdon
Baird.
The Prince Of Wales has been a ire
Uuent guest on the yacht, and has IN
turn shown the famed Americans many
courtesies during their stay in London.
It is contended that the Queens health
is too precious to allow the heir to the
throne to go so far away, but Prince
Albert Edward has a will Of his own,
and he viii probably come if he chooses.

the house. with the entrance at one emo
and a whole side of plate glass, giving
q glorious view of the ocean, at the op-
posite end. The ceiling is the roof OF
the house, and the beautifully carved
staircase winds round and round, lead
ing to encircling galleries.
Above the great fireplace is a carved
chimey-piece Of oak which once held
it's place in a famous old French cha
teau. The entire hall is panelled in oak,
carved TO match. and rooted with 0aken
beams. Opening off this great oak
lined hall is the beautiful draWing-ro0n
