nearly drove me wild at times, got

that they wore at big ball two year

Indeed, is not the tale told of the duke

his own as the personal appearance
OF dukes? For many years Arundel
castle has been in the hands of the
British workmen, and a crane has
reared its head above the battlements,

at the ball the whole castle was
thrown open to the dancers. In spite
of the bad weather, everyone turned
up, and amongst the most indefatiga-

Gordon Lennox, who came with her
father, the duke of Richmond, from
Goodwood. The duke of Norfolk pro-
posed to Miss Constable Maxwell over
a game of croquet when staying with
her mother, Lady Herries, at Evering-

were much surprised that the quiet

Long before the health officers men
get through with their work the acting
deputy collectors who have Swarmed

at tables taking declarations OF pas

till the ship has been warped into

ticket corresponding with the number
of his declaration. The passenger
turns in his ticket at the desk of the
custom men on the pier and an inSpec-

Every passenger is allowed to bring

These stories about the hope and
longing of the immigrants, his thrill
of joy at the sight of the statute of
liberty. his establishment and wonder
at the glories of New York are not cor
rect so far as the present-day immi-
grant is concerned. Any person who
goes to the Battery or Ellis Island
these days expecting to see something
OF this sort in the thousands of i'm
migrants who are arriving is going to
be disappointed. More than $4,000
arrived last week and not one per cent
of them showed the slightest emotion.
They are more concerned about their
grub than anything else. The truth
OF the matter is said an immigrant
official. these people are not particu-
larly interested in America as Amer
lea. They come over here in swarms
because their friends and relatives on
this side have written them that work
can be had for the asking. that wages
are high and that they can live over
here just as cheaply and with more
comforts than they can i'll their native
lands. Then. of course, there are some
who come over to escape oppression.
like those Russians and Poles there,
but most of those fellows YOU see here.
Italians. Magyars and Polocks, come
over here intending to reap the bene-
fits of high wages. 1t is their ultimate
intention to save up what is to them
Il small fortune and then return to
their native country. where they will
