The king of Siam, who has just sub.

Orial, is one of the most European of
native rulers. He almost invariab bly,
wears the latest thing in frock coats
and silk hats, while his military uni
forms look as if they had been de-
signed at the war office. He speaks
English better than most Englishmen,
too never using slang. He has visited
and examined with critical eye every
civilized country and from each he has
taken something for his own land. He
would cut a big figure in the peacock
alley of the Waldorf -Exchange.
