ably dressed woman called upon the po-
lice cOmmssary for the St. Marguer-

The lady. on being shown in NJ. Rous-

very peculiar circumstance.
She said her name was Nine. Bleroth
and that she lived in the Rue de Mont

brother. She had only lived there for i
short while, but every time she entered

magnetic influence, to walk about on

Joseph Bleroth, a young man OF about
twenty-seven, was brought by the po-
liceman.
He said he could not explain. but that
not only his mother but also he him
self and his uncle were also compelled
70 walk about the fiat In the same way
as his mother had explained. The COM
lnissary then thought that the son was
as mad as the mother and sent for tho
uncle.
The uncle corrOborated the statements
made by the other two, and then hap
pened a remarkable thing. The uncle
threw himself upon his hands and begar

KING HAS DATES
FOR MONTHS AHEAD

LONDON May 25.-When hOstesses
make up their mind TO ask the King
TO dinner they are obliged to look ahead
considerably This IS the case with the
Duchess Of Poxburghe. who has taken
Stratford House, one of the most beau
uful houses IN London. from Lady
C0lebrooke for the season.
The young Duchess has decided TO give
a dinner to thc King, which shall be
tho biggest thing Of the season. and
her present difficulty is 10 fit. in a date
which shall not clash with his ma
Jesty's many Engagements.
So many royalties are coming TO Lon
don this summer that the King will
have little opportunity for attending pri-
waite entertainments. but it is probable
that the RoXburghe dinner will be given
just before the state ball at Buclking-
ham Palace, which is definitely fixed for
the third week In June.
The invitations for this ball will be
limited 10 loo, and the selection" will
be more scrupulous than ever before.
