peror to give set Of china, and France
controlled her Intentions.
|" Just what can be done with the tapes
try in the house in which Miss. Alice
will occupy after she becomes Mrs.
Longworth is a problem. A woman
from Denver who heard Of it's length
and noted it's long and narrow shape,
asked: eff it's too long to hang from
the ceiling, what's the matter with
making a carpet of it," and looked
around in surprise when she heard the
subdued chuckles with which the sug-
gestion was received. ,.s 4,-e&a.'slt
Considerable discussion was aroused
by the Cuban gift. At one time the
Cuban government was asked to puI-
! hill is a part and present 1t to Miss
Alice, but this was dismissed as i'm
practicable. gt
Another idea was to have a costly
set Of furniture carved by hand from
the native and expensive majogua
wood. Then again it was suggested
that the $4,000 voted by the govern
ment might, be handed over to Miss
Alice to buy house with, and it was
lumored that if this was done there
was another money present to be added
to it and that she would spend the
combined sum On a site and on the cree
tion of house.
Then the question as to whether the
1 president would allow Miss Alice to
accept so costly a present from young
Cuba came up, and finally the Cuban
! government settled the matter by COM
missioning it's minister in Paris to pur-
chase superb pearl necklace.
! The Kaiser's Present.
When the kaiser does anything he is
apt to step out into the limelight, so
that everyone will know what it is all
!. about. But in the matter of a we'd
ding gift to Miss Alice he is doing the
correct thing and having no official
public announcements made regarding
it. It will not be an exorbitantly ex
pensive present and will be, it is said
conspicuous for it's good taste rather
than for its cost. It is reported to be
/ a beautiful and exquisitely wrought
| bracelet. @
