Is Prince Henry of Orleans,
Who Would Be King
IF FRANCE HAD KINGS
She Has S2O,ooO,OOO and
He Never a Sou.

Michael Henry Herbert and May Goelet
are stopping at the Hotel Ritz. They
are spending Their deys in inspecting
houses. with the intention of buying a
permanent home here.
Heretofore the Goelets have hesitated
between London and Paris"
At the same time there came story
from London about the court that Prince
Henry OF Orleans, elder son of the Due
de Chartres-he is the head of the House
of France and prandson of King Louis
Phillipe-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 America
is to have real French princess.
To be sure the question cannot be an
swered yet The young people haven't
chosen to tell. But there isn't a day pas
ses, either in Paris or London, that the
young heir 10 whatever glory French roy
atty may now possess is not in attendan-
&c upon the rich and beautiful Aneri-
can girl whose father, the late Ogden
Goelet, left $2a,Oe0OeO which will all be
hers when she is % years of age.
The Goelets live at a fashionable hotel
in the Place Venrome and entertain Law
ishly there. for their period of MOURN
ing for the late Mr.. Goelet is ended.
Prince Henry is their guest of honor at
every function
The Prince is 80 and is looking for a
wife-all Paris knows this. The bluest
of the French blood runs in his veins
but the gold to keep up his position prop
erly doesn't line his pockets. For long
time he has been paying court. so the
Paris gossop runs, to all the eligible
young women of his set. But they will
have none of him. So the young heir to
the throne-if there ever is a French
throne-failing finally with the beauti-
ful Princess Of Austria, who is rich too.
| turned to the untitled but tenfold richer
Miss Goe!et
That Prince Henry isn't rich many Par
is tradesmen know to their sorrow But
he is quite the leader of the young bloods
of Paris. He has escapades innumerab'e,
and several times has really been re-
ported engaged TO this princess or that
| marchioness. But all rumors have been
canards.

But even garrulous Paris halts at in
tervals to doubt Miss Goelet has been
engaged many times before-at least by
gossip. There was at first the handsome
Prince Francis of Teck. brother OF the
Duchess of York, no will be Queen of
England some day. Mrs. Goelet even
said she would like to see her daughter
married to this Prince. But 1t as not to
be. Miss Goelet put her pretty foot down.
She preferred no one to the smart Capt.
Oswald Ames, the tallest officer IN the
British army, whose six feet eight Of
handsome humanity led the great Jubi-
lee procession in 1897.
And the Duke Of Roxburgh. the Duke
of Manchester. the Earl of Shaftesbury
and Viscount Crichton were all suitors
for the beautiful Amercan's hand Per-

they are simply devoted to Paris. Mrs
