PERFUMES FOR THE NOBILITY.
Ambassador Whitelaw Reid Engages
Services of Earl's Son.

AT one time Lady Curzon had the
reputation of spending more money
on perfumes than any other woman
| in England. 1t was said that she was
more extravaganza in this respect than
Queen Alexandra whose perfume bills
amounted to something like $4,000 a
year. Now, the story goes, the Ouch
ess of Roxburgh has become the
most extravagant purchaser of per-
fumery in the land. she patronizes
the heavy-scented essences Of the
East which are known to be most eX-
pensive. The cost of her daily bath
would, it is said, keep middle-class
family for week. Lady Curzon
used these same essences at one time,
but she found them so expensive that
she decided to try cheaper extracts
Queen Alexandra, too, has gone in
for retrenchment in the same dlrec-
ton, and she Is now satisfied with

her appetite for them. That has pro-

AS early as 1914 football had be-
come so popular In London as a street
game and attracted So many disord-
erly spectators that the staid old mer-
chants entered a vigorous protest.
King Edward ii was on the throne
then and wasted no time dining the
football coaches or arguing about
the matter. He issued a proclama-,
ton In which he said:
"Forasmuch as there is great noise
in the city caused by hustlIng, over
large balls from which many evils
might arise, which God forbid, we
command and forbid on the half of
the King, on pain of Imprisonment,
such games to be used in the city In

There Is great rivalry between the
United States Navy Yard at Brooklyn
and a private shipbuilding concern at
Newport News, over the construction
Of the two naval war leviathans, Con-
necticut and Louisiana. The Govern
ment is building the Connecticut, and
the shipbullding company is rushing
toward completion the Louisiana.
The figures given out but a short time
ago by the Navy Department show
that the Connecticut Is 91.36 per cent
completed, while her sister ship shows
a percentage of completion of S9.25.
A comparison shows then that the
Government-built boat has slight
lead, which is all the more gratifying
to the champions of Government con-
truction when it is considered that
this is the first battleship ever built
in the United States by any other
than private constructors and that it
was predicted that the Government
could not compete with private build
ers. Nevertheless the Government
