Cost Upward of a Million.

It is said that the Larz Anderson house
cost upward of a million dollars, includ-
ing the lot on which it stands. the build
ing proper, and its furnishings. It is pos
sible that the diminutive house and
lot belonging to Wayman would bring
in the market, provided you could find
a buyer who would give full value. ac-

cost Of this new palace on Massachu-

erect 6,666 houses such as that OF the
industrious shoemaker. Waymau has
been a cobbler for upward of fifty years.

Youngest princes OF the English reigning

Japan Is up TO date in many things,

done. A horoscope had been made for
the other royal princes for twenty-five
centuries. and every one in Japan was
almost anxious to know what fate had

of enthusiasm, and Butte society was
eager to extend a cordial welcome to
the woman it had ignored as a portion
less girl.
Perhaps Butte's ultra-fashionab,e resi-
dents had not heard that Mrs. Clark
cared nothing for society-perhaps they
had heard it and did not think it pos
sibIe- Any any rate, Butte society de-
termined to honor the extremely eligible
new matron Of Montana's mining center
with their calls, only to hear Senator
Clark's wife instruct her servant to
transmit to the callers that favorite
message in the code of social diplomacy

planation of this course. says that she

Dame Gossip Disappointed.

The declaration was a marvel so great
that the rude and venomous tongue Of
gossip was set wagging and modern Mrs.
Grundys could not repress tie tempta-

was not as unconcerned ABOUT the ex-
istence of its critic it's critic pre-

Has Elaborate Seal.

Before little Prince Micchi was six
months old most elaborate imperial
seal had been made for his use Here
again the ancient customs of Japan were
TOO wonderful for the new Western
ideas In the land of the chrysanthe-
mum, mans seal is his most impor-
tant possession. Forgery of seal is
punished more severely than robbery.
Consequently. baby Prince Micchf's seal
became matter at once of the great
est Importance. 1t had to be different
from that used by his father Special
artists worked at it for months before
a suitable emblem was made Now it is
affixed to everything worn or used by
the prince.
The heir presumptive to the great
Eastern throne has the distinction of be-
ing the first baby of the royal house

to grow his hair like an English baby.

large as the house, is not far behind
