international press.
Some one has said, Climate makes the
man" If so. the gray Russian Sky, with all
its dcmi-tints of sadness, cannot re ex-
pected to produce the joyous natures en-
gendered by lsa bright scenes of the happy
and eXuberant south. In northern coun-
tries Utopians and dreamers abound. In
their vast melancholy plains all covered
with snow, there is nothing to distract the
attention, and the mind wanders at will into
distant dreamland. The facility with which
the Russian girl gets exalted on political
matters and joins secret societies is a con-
slant surprise. She is willing to sacrifice
her convictions. everything, home, friends.

<<- HE river has been American
- lied
That is the cry that now is
going up in England. and an
uncommonly doleful one 1t
is, for the river referred to is the
Thames, and the Thames, or at least the
fashionable part OF it, which lies between
Richmond and oxford and includes Hen
ley and royal Windsor, ever has been re-
garden as a sort of English holy OF
holes" So now that wealthy Americans
practically have taken possession Of it,
lovers of the old order of things are dis
consulate, and the transatlantic conquest
of England is regarded as complete.
Americans have invaded this sacro-
sanct river district before, Of course, but
only as 'single spies" in the persons of
William Waldorf Aston, Mrs Brown Potter
and one or two others. Now, however, the
"battalions" have arrived, and this sum-
mer. for the first time, the pick of the resi-
denCes which fringe the banks of the
classic stream from the point where it
practically vanishes to that at which it be-
comes merely commercial are in the hands
/ OF wealthy folk from across the pond"
1t IS the tale Of Mayfair, of the English
country houses and of the Scottish grouse

! OF its beloved river is the bitterest pill
| whic.I the English fashionable world yet
| has had to swallow.

was the last straw. Until it was announced

added to the noise that was made in the
newspapers over the acquisition of the
famous "Riverdale" by George Kessler
made lovers of the fashionable reaches

Downe Place, Ascot, which belongs to
Col. Hartford, Is occupied by Mrs. Anthony
Drexel, and hear that for one week Of the

So the list might be continued for a good
part OF a newspaper column did it seem
desirable. 1t would include the names Of

actresses, who is chatelaine of Little Croft
near Maidenhead. and Camille Clifford, who
one day will be Lady Aberdare, and who is
entertaining with her husband at a bunga-
low just across the river
Rather a striking showing, is it not?
Especially considering that many names
are left out because the writer has not been
able to ascertain definitely from what
American cities their respective bearers
hail" Significant enough, however, in all
conscience, and, as I have said intensely
exasperating to the Britishers who hold
that the Thames, at least. might be left
an English possession. After all, however
1t is not so much the actual Invasion of
these exclusive reaches of the upper
Thames that conservative English folk re-
sent highly, but the fact that, with the
rest, the principal show places on t e
river have fallen into the possession of
the enemy.

ant after tenant suddenly threw up the
lease and left, saying they could not live
there. Vacant for years, the house was
finally ordered to be pulled down. So soon
as excavations were made, ten years ago,
the workmen came upon grave after grave.
The skeletons were all Of women. The
mystery of Bolney Court was solved. Fifty
years previously the owner or tenant, a
giant OF man, reputed crazy, lived there
alone in solitary grandeur but for female
servants. These servants gradually dis
appeared and new ones took their places
as fast as the old ones left. No local
women would take service there, and so
the girls were recruited from London or
distant parts of the country.
The discovered skeletons told their own
story. The master of the house had I'M
questionably murdered full score of his
maids.
Bolney Court was built up again and the
skeletons properly buried The ghosts have
now disappeared, and the new tenants
probably never even heard the tale.
Amber!ey Cottage, where Tyler Morse has
hoisted the Stars and Stripes, was built by
Earl Russell, prime minister of England,
=
He was created Viscount Amberley at the
tine of the American civil war, and SO
christened his river house. The house,
though called a cottage, is. big place with
a score or more bedrooms and large
grounds. 1t is situated just above Boulter' S
Lock and opposite to Clieveden woods.
The Arches, which a Boston family are
occupying this summer has historic ghost,
SI,DroSe1 he LADY, Eliza 5aupbtar
of the Lord OF Wargrove, who lived in the
manor house close by. At the Arches lived
her lover, and many were the stolen meet
ings of the twain beside the river brink.
The Lord of Wargrove had other views for
his daughter. and had forbidden any meet
irgs. Lady Elizabeth's absence being sus-
pected, one dark night she was followed
and seen to meet her lover Her father
and brothers rushed the man and killed
him before her eyes. The Lady Elizabeth
went mad and years later her body was
found in the river. Since then her ghost
wanders through the grounds seeking to
meet the lover of 300 years ago.
Regarding Rivcrdale. the beautiful place
al Bourne End which George kessler
recently bought and has renamed New
York Lodge, many details have b en-
published so they need not be repeated
here. l am told, however, that this, one
of the few river places that have been
bought outright by Americans, cost the
champagne man sa5,0IG and he is said to
be spending $lGo,CC0 in remodellng, enlarg-
ing and furnishing it. 1t has only Twenty
bedrooms and is not quite large enough
for its new owners requirements. Incl
dentalIy British journalistic pens have been
dipped in gall to write of the remaining of
Riversiale and comment the an
nouncement that eco electric lights will
illuminate the grounds at night.
However, all this means business for
British ''tradesmsn," by whom and by the
Thames waterman the invasion Of the

it be gall and wormwood to the exclusive

money. 1t will easily approach a million
dollars, the sum that the newcomers will
spend there this season. Each bungalow
or house is completely furnished when
rented for the season. And this furnishing
on the river means a proper equipment of
boats such as canoe or punt, skiff and
launch. The latter may be a steam, gaso-
line, electric motor launch, but every
house of decent size has Of sorts as
well the other boats The cheapest
kind Of bungalow costs $50 per week and
the cheapest kind of house is 500 per week.
In a bungalow one needs three indoor serv-
ants and one outdoor who attends to the
garden, is engineer Of the launch and per-
haps chauffeur of the motor car. The houses
need from half dozen to two dozen serv-
ants or more. depending on their size. This,
OF course, runs into a lot of money.
The other day went to see the head OF
a well-known firm of real estate agents at
Maidenhead. They have branches every
where along the river and handle most of
the property, SO that 1t is to them that
Americans rush if they want house. 1t
was this firm that sold George kessler his
house. that sold Mrs. Brown Potter's
practically all the other houses mentioned.
The invasion of the river by Americans"
said this authority, lis sudden. They have
come with a rush. l have had more re-
quests for river places than are on the
market. 1t is the first season that the
Americans have come on the river in such
numbers. July is just the middle of the
season, for we have scores of applica-
tons for houses and households from Au-
gust /. We are finding already that many
Americans who have Just rented places for
the much in love with the
gay river life that they have instructed
US to buy the property for them if posi-
BILE Others again have already given us
instructions to rent places for them-the
same place if possible-next year.
The Americans will spend an immense
amount of money on the river. Many who
cannot get houses are taking apartments
at the river hotels. Roughly l should
estimate the money which will be spent
this year by Americans here as follows:
Rents $3.50. 900
Urkeep and living expenses ............. 100000
Fetes extra boats. np-river EXPENSES $1,000
Spent at hotels. apartments. househoats.. 100000
Outlay of day by day visitors. ....-...... 10000
Rough total. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. $4,000
should one include what Americans
spent at Ascot and Henley on special en-
tertainment and special clothes the rough
figures might go well over the million
mark
Now that glorious Henley regatta is over
several Americans will be spending the
August weeks in houseboats. Before Hen
lay the owners Of these palatal floating
homes would not hear of renting and
even now they want an enormous figure.
Besides the hundreds OF American fami-
lies donliciied for the season on the
Thames one must figure in the invasion
the two three thousand, perhaps more.
who spend week-ends and weeks at the
old world river inns, or the newer hotels,
who motor down from London, under
the hour, and spend the day along the

The Russian women in general are not
interested in needlework, and it is a rare
thing to see a young girl embroider or do
any sort of fancy work. However. they are

Chief of these always will be Cliveden,
