A BUDGET OF GOSSIP
 FROM THt GAY CAPITAL
Henry Farman Realizes the Dream of Centuries.-Psrsians Angry with Princess Marie Bonaparte.

Paris. Nov. 1o.-(Special Correspon- dence of the RepublicanD- Like the ancient Athenian your parisian of tod day must have his snovelty and his man of the hour. A few years ago il was Paul Derouledge. then Combes. then Clemenceau, then Santos -Dumont-and now Henri Farman. Be il politics. science ar art. it is all the same. There must be a central figure Thomme du moment. as the prime subject of con versation in every cafe and saloon.
 At this moment the expressing topic is Farinan and his exploits in the air He really seems to have solved the principle of d successful aeroplane. and he has won deathless' fame thereby. With his machine of 900 pounds weight. he has achieved the dream of centuries real flight. under perfect control. and today he is the most talk ed of man in Europe.
 Henri Farman is in the early thir- ties as to age. lie was born in France. of English parents. and has spent his life here-speaking French with much more fluency than English. For years he has been an expert automobilist- NiriiNt NblilfS. btubllf-~S HIS ease pl manner under high speed. and his cOolness in moments of grave danger. Recently his quickness of presence of mind was proved when two onlookers inadvertently got directly in the path of his machine when it was flying low at great speed. In q seconds time. he raised the seroplane and whilred over them in safety. whereas the slightest hesitation would have resulted in the decapitation of both men.
 Patriotism runs in France. and the patronage of home industries is fixed principle. Therefore for parisienne of great prOminence-and that Paris ienne a Bonaparte-to go beyond the borders for her trousseau furnishes cause for widespread comment and complaint. Yet that is precisely what the beautiful Princess Marie Bona- parte has done, Ignoring the marvel lous work of the countries of the Rue de lax PaiX. she has gone to Austria to sSve pulled the marvellous outfit which she is 10 possess as the bfide of Prince George of Greece
 Such as affront to the artistic pride Of France will not easily be forgiven.
