KING LIKES THIS COMMONER
David Lloyd-George Is Regarded as the Comma Man
in Certain Circles of English Society.

Special Foreign Service
LONDON, April 23.-King Edward is
about the only man in Great Britain
| who is denied the privilege of freely
expressing his opinions on political
questions. 1t is one of the many re-
strictions which English democracy
imposes on kingship in this twentieth
century. But his majesty has always
taken a deep interest in the parlia-
mentary struggles at st. Stephens. and
is credited with keen powers of dis
corning the man who will rise to the
top in that vortex of political conten-
TONS. Therein lies the significance of
his recent meeting with David Lloyd-
George at a dinner given by the Mar
Quls OF TWeedmouth to which the stur-
dy little Welshman was invited by
royaI command-for that is what hint
from royalty on such festive occasions
virtually amounts to. The king prob
ably believes with others that Lloyd
George, If he lives long enough, is des-
tlned TO WELD great influence in the
affairs of the nation-that he may even
become prime minister some day and
as such be the actual temporary ruler
OF the British empire of which the oc-
cupant of Buckingham palace is the
nominal and permanent head. Very
natural 1t was therefore that Edward
VII. should desire to make LLOYD
Georges acquaintance and see for him
self what manner of man he is.

such man must needs possess an

That verges on the commonplace. No

LONDON, April 23-When the
Duchess Of Marlborough commences to
entertain at her new. London house in
the spring, society will witness functions
the brilliance Of which is expected to
eclipse anything hitherto seen at May
ralr. Several members Of the Wander
Dit family are coming to London spe-
c1aLy to adorn the scene and they ex-
pect to bring with them several of the
leading folk in American society.
The duchess first effort will be to get
together the best in England to meet
the Vanderbilts, in whose honor she
intends to give some of her most brill
liant entertainments during the season.
The Prince and Princess of Wales will
be asked to grace some of the fune-
tions. AS the princess and the young
duchess are fast friends it is antic-
tpated that there will be no hesitation
on the part of the future king aid
queen to do honor to the occasion.

the best amateur yachtsmen in Eng
land, and that she is not merely on
the yacht, but actually sails it, being
always at the tiller Instead of the
competing boats being allowed from
two to five minutes in which to cross
the line, as is customary in America
the time at which they go over the line
within that period being recorded as
their starting time, the one gun start
is the rule here. BY this method the
yacht first over the line gets the full
credit for the skill, nerve and judg-
ment exercised by her skipper in Sc
curing the coveted place. When, as
a1ten happens, there are a dozen
yachts trying for 1t, their shippers all
keenly alert to obtain the opening adj
vantage, 1t Is very ticklish game, re-
curing cool head, mastery skill and
prompt decision At this species of
nautical jockeying Miss Cox has no SUI
perior, and can shave by another boat
when collision can be escaped only by
hairs breadth. Miss Cox has fine
town residence at No. Grosvenor
Crescent, but when the yachting sea-
son opens she betakeS herself to the
Solent and London knows her no more
until the last race has been sailed.
Has Had Thrilling Experiences.
Mrs. Schenley has met with some
thrilling experiences while yacht rae
ing, but they have only increased her
ardor for the sport. In one race she
was caught in a thunderstorm and her
boat was struck by lightning. There
was FASH, she says, in a description
she has given of the incident, land a
tremendous clap OF thunder, all on
board feeling the shock. l was nearly
stunned and did not know what had
happened AT this time the boat was
tearing through the water with the
sea up to the edge of the well, great
hailstoneS and binding sheets of spray
flying in ones face so that steering at
that moment became very dangerous
and If 1t had not been for the easing
of our main sheet no doubt we should
have stood some chance of filling our
boat. The squan lasted only a few
moments On examination we found
that our yard had been splintered and
burned by the lightning, but this did
not prevent us crossing the line. a tri-
umphant winner"
Mrs. Schenley's husband is a yachts
man and member of the aristocratic
Royal Yacht Squadron, but when it
comes to yacht racing he prefers to
play the role of spectator from the
deck Of his comfortable steam yacht,
while his intrepid wife struggles for
victory. When there are no more prizes
to be won on the Solent, Mr.. and Mrs.
Schenley betake themselves to Albania
In the steam yacht and hunt deer and
chamois in the mountains. Mrs. Schen-
ley's two sisters, the Misses Hughes,
though they do not own racing yachts
now, are almost equally expert sailors
and are in great demand as amateur
shippers.

writes Miss Barbara Hughes, 'is the

Gently performed the feat of crossing
the Algerian portion of the Desert Of
Sahara-this being the first trip Of the
sort ever undertaken.
The party started by the picturesque
gorge Of Chiffa, the first days run
bringing them to Medeah, where the
night was passed. The next day saw
their arrival at Boghari, whence they
started for Djelfa, a run of about 1872
miles, which took nine hours. Twenty
miles of this distance were run over
Immense plains of alta grass which,
however good 1t may be for paper MAX
Ing, leaves much to be desired as
means of speed, the thick tufts causing
very rough travelling and preventing
pace Of more than about twelve miles
an hour. The second half of the days

the strangers passing the curious salt
rock which looks exactly as If spark
ling with boar frost. The springs and
'penus" Of the machine had hard work
on this run, and 1t may be mentioned
here that the car was a Belgian pipe"
Of four cylinders and sixteen horse
power, and that it did the entire Jour-
ney without any breakdown. The trav-
eIers made a sensational entry into
Djelfa, where an automobile was, of
course, quite unknown. The night was

LONDON, April 23.-AIthough Amer
lean women generally are just as keen
devotees of fresh air pastimes as their
English sisters, there Is one form Of
outdoor sport, and that as invigorat-
Ing and exciting as any, in which the
American woman still lags far behind
her British rival. That is yacht SAIL
ing, and more particularly yacht rae
ing.
There are, of course, many American
women who can handle a yacht fairly
well when put to 1T. On rare occasions
transatlantic yacht clubs hold ladies'
day. regattas, when the members en-
trust the tillers of the competing boats
to their sweethearts, wives and sisters,
doing whatever coaching may be neces-
sary themselves. But no American
woman has the writer ever heard of
who both owns and sails a racing
yacht, meeting men on equal terms and
neither asking nor receiving any odds
on account of her sex.
There are several women in England
who do this and have done it for years,
taking the weather as it comes, blow
high or blow low, sailing dozens of
races in the course of q season, and
often winning more of them than any
OF the men who race against them.
Hardly year has gone by since Eng
HSh women took to yacht racing that
one Of them has not been able to
hoist more winning flags on her yacht
at the end Of the season than any of
the boats in the same class sailed by
men were able to display Not seldom
in more than one class in the same
year women have achieved champion
ship honors. 1t Is all the more credit
able to them that they have made
these records In comparatively small
boats. The big boats have all profess
sional shippers and their owners for
the most part content themselves with
footing the bills and decorating their
sideboards with the silver plate won.
- Miss Cox Is Most Expert.
1t is generally conceded that Miss
Cox is the, most expert yachtswoman
in England, and If any man thinks
that he can coax more speed out of a
boat than she can Miss Cox Is always
more than willing to make a match
with him. But so far as another sort
of match is concerned she Is welded
to the sea, and has been ever since she

is an hereditary taste. Her father,
Frederick Cox, is commodore of the
Royal Southampton Yacht club, but
he long ago admitted that his daugh-
ter had found out more about yacht
racing than ne had ever been able to
teach her. Last year In her crack
twenty four-foot linear rater Duet,
Miss Cox participated In fifty-four
races and came up top of the class
with thirty-seVen first and eight other
prizes to her credit. Prior to that for
three years in succession she had car
ried off premier honors in the same
class with her famous little flyer Speed
well.
Fully to appreciate such an achieve
ment 1t must be borne in mind that
Miss Cox's opponents include some of

of adornment which he has given his
wife, even though bestowed upon her
prior to their marriage; he may actu-
ally sell them and devote the money to
his own use.
This is what brought about the de-
cision. Before Lord Howard of Glossop
married his second wife, in 1891, as
proof both of his generosity and indy
ing devotion he presented her with a
costly diamond tiara AS the years
rolled by, however, his loved cooled The
marriage proved an unhappy one. Lady
Howard commenced proceedings last
year for a judicial separation, but the
outcome was separation under pri-
vate agreement. which provided that
all jewelry ornaments ETC., belonging
to Lady Howard should remain under
her exclusive control.
She did not, however, get the dia-
mond tiara, and brought suit to recover

it. Lord Howard asserted that he had
sold 1t for $4,000 three months prior to
the agreement. The decision of the
lower courts, adverse to Lady How
ards claim, was sustained by the
court of appeal. In concurring in the
opinion of the master of the rolls, Lord
Justice Romer stated that any gifts
made by husband to a wife suitable
for her position in society" were not
gifts to her separate USE" but con-
stituted "paraphernalia which the hus-
band had a right to SELL And 1T fol-
lows that hereafter the woman who re-
CARDS such gifts as her own property
will merely discover that she has been
sold" But the law does not work
both ways. What the wife gives the
husband remains his for keeps
from embroidered slippers to a watch
and chair or house and lot.

Dear Colleague:
During the year and half that has
passed, l devoted all the time at my
command to the raising of the Wise
Memorial Fund. The four hundred
thousand dollars are subscribed, but,
unfortunately, not having been able to
devote any time to the National Farm
School, that institution has run some
five thousand dollars behind. We are
crowded to the doors The dormitory,
that was originally built for the accom-
mediation of twenty-five pupils is now
housing forty-fve students, who, with
one single exception, are not only edu-
Gated at our expense but are also board
ed. lodged, clothed and provided with
all the necessities. Almost daily, we
are compelled to turn away from our
doors Jewish lads who are applying for
admission into our school to be trained
in scientific and practical agriculture,
to be taken out of the miserable ghettoes
and to be rescued from sweat shops and
petty-trading pursuits.

for our necessities of life. 1t is a fit
time to ask our co-religionsts to support
a movement that has for it's object the
training of poor lads into becoming
bread-producers as well as bread-win-
ner.
1t is needless to tell you that our sea-
port towns are dangerously cOngested
with Jewish immigrants. The Ameri-
can Ghettoes have become formidable
problem, Physical and moral disease
is increasing alarmingly in the slums,
The only possible solution lies in the
scattering of this over-crowded popula-
ton as agriculturalists over our broad
lands. The graduates of the National
Farm School are making splendid rec
ords. -Four Of them are employed as
experts in the Agricultural Department
of the United States government, others
are doing excellent work on farms,
dairies, greenhouses, etc.
