IVORY is HER FAD
Handsome Collection Presented to the

CALCUTTA, Jan. 13.-The Prince of
Wales has collected for his sister, the
new Queen Maud of Norway a number
OF ivory tusks. Queen Maud is a great
admirer of ivory. and at the courts of
London and Copenhagen her royal fad
was we'll known. 1t was her custom to
claim tribute from the spoils of every
royal hunting party, the ivory tusks
being turned over to the then princess
without question. She has also been
presented with many miscellaneous
ornaments and various articles made
of ivory, all of her friends knowing and
laughing at her because of this fad.
When the Prince of Wales started on
his tour around the world Princess
Maud, his sister, had not been called
to the throne of Norway, together with
her husband, Prince Charles. Since
this event has occurred the Prince of
Wales has been ransacking India for
ivory with which to aid his sister in
gracing the rooms of the palace at
Chrstiania.

is AN AMOROUS GROCER
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, Jan. 13.-Damages of e4OO
were assessed by a jury yesterday at
the London sheriff's high court against
Mr.. Thomas Edward Mantle, a grocer
of Bishop Auckland, who was de-
scribed as IAN amorous widower."
The plaintiff was Miss Emily Ham
mond, a milliner Of Briefly Hill, Staffs,
and it was stated that there was no
question of sentiment in the matter,
Mr.. Mantle being a widower, and Miss
Hammond old enough to know her
own mind.
In September, 1904 Mr.. Mantle sug-
gested that he would like to see more
of Miss Hammond, said her counsel
and on October 2 he wrote letter
beginning my Dear Emmie." After
writing of family matters and saying
that he would send the cream and
coffee he had promised her, he con-
tinued:
Now, my darling. I am coming to
the object of my letter. Will you come
at the expiration of the usual time in
such cases to be my darling sweet
little wife? / am sure 1 can make
you happy, and I am certain you can
make me so. 1 love you, and l love
you-and L can give you no higher
praise-because you are so like my
darling Annie (his first wife)-a sweet,
devoted, unselfsh little pet"
Miss Hammond accepted this pro-
posal the next day, but difficulties
arose in March. 1905, and Mr.. Mantle
said his children did not want him to
marry again. Then he began to de-
tract from his own attractiveness by
telling her that he was really not so
nice as she thought he might be, and
that he suffered from boils.
On April 10 he wrote from Harrogate
saying definitely that he was not able
to marry Miss Hammond and adding,
May God bless you and keep you in
his everlasting arms
Miss Hammond declared that at his
request she had advertised her busi-
ness for sale, and that in consequence
1t fell off considerably. She also spent
e 40 or ESQ on household articles, and
paid $3.50 for a house for her mother
to live in after the marriage.

PARIS, Jan. 13-A. NJ. Binet has lust
met with an experience which he is not
likely to forget for the remainder of his

The Mortified bridegroom rushed out

were no signs of the BRIDE though her

BIRD AS AIR TESTER

PARIS Jan. 13.-An interesting ex-
pertinent has just been made in order
to test a statement made by Gen. Bill
lot, who complained in the senate last
Thursday that the heating apparatus
generated oxide of carbon which
caused his head TO ache.
The engineer responsible for the
heating arrangements made an exam

find no defects. Finally a little bird
called the "bengalee," which is said
to be the most liable of all creatures

AS the bird cheerfully survived the

Special Cable to The Herald.

LONDON, Jan. 13.-"Women fast are
replacing men as servants in the houses
of the wealthy" Is the opinion of Miss
Nora Beresford who has a large Glen
tele among the servants and employers
of the' west end. Men servants have
had their day. Housemaids and par
lor maids still are required. but chefs,
buffers. and men servants generally
are becoming to an increasing extent
luxuries of the past"
Nor Is Miss Beresford's experience
exceptional The old idea. of an "es-
tablishment" no longer obtains i'm the
modern smart set, who prefer the ir-
responsible life of flats and hotels to
the care of large house Of servants.
Flat Life Entices the Rich
The proprletress of one Of the oldest
established registers in London, whose
principal business is to provide recruits
for the servants halls of aristocracy,
tells the same story of smaller estab-
lisREgents'
servants of irreproachable character
and with records of con tinuous service"
she stated, who, though they have oc-
cupied responsible positions in houses
of noblemen, are ready to take any
for the man servant out of employ
ment is about as bad as can be. En-
tertaining I'm the hotels and restaurants
has killed the prospects of the upper
class servant.
"A generation ago the men servants
in large houses invariably brought up
their children to follow in their own
footsteps, but now the girls are going
into the postoffiCe and the boys are
being trained as chauffeurs."
Many society women, according to re-
ports at the registry offices, have en-
gagged a smart parlor maid to take the
place of the old-time butler, with ex-
| cellent results. Keeping down ex-
penses is one of the main reasons for
the change, the sleeping accommoda
| tion for the men servants proving a
considerable tax on a small but highly
