WOED BY A PRINCE.
Henry of Orleans is Poor, But His Friends
Say All He Needs is a Wealthy Wife

Paris, Nov. 6.-Mrs. Ogden Goelet,
Mrs. Michael Henry Herbert and May
Goelet are stopping at the Hotel Ritz.
They are spending their days inspecting
houses, with the intention of buying a
permanent home here.

Now comes a story from London
about the court that Prince Henry of
Orleans, elder son of the Due de Char

France and grandson of King Louis
PHILIPPE is paying to Miss May Goelet,
heiress to ever so many American mil
lions. As for New York, it was asking
itself yesterday whether or not Amer

To be sure, the question cannot be an

PRINCE LOOKING FOR A WIFE.
The prince is 80 and is looking for a
wife-all Paris knows this. The bluest
of blue French blood runs in his veins,
but the gold to keep up his position
properly doesn't line his pockets For a
long time he has been paying court, so
the Paris gossip runs, to all the eligible

That Prince Henry isn't rich, many
Paris tradesmen know to their sorrow.
But he is quite the leader of the young
bloods of Paris. He has escapades in

DOUBTS ARISE,
But even garrulous Paris halts at in
tervals to doubt. Miss Goelet has been

England some day. Mrs. Goelet even
said she would like to see her daughter
