Mrs. William b. Leeds Has
Interested King of England

The following cable dispatch which
appeared in the Chicago Record-Her-
aid yesterday will be of local interest:
Mrs. William B. Leeds friends in
Paris are whispering that it is more
than likely that some day society will
be astonished by the announcement
that she is to bear one of the greatest
English titles.
Paris on his way to Biarritz he sent,
as usual, for Cartier, a famous jeweler,
to bring his choicest gems. In the lot
was perfect black pearl valued al
$4,000 francs $4,000, a big price
even for q king to pay-too big, per-
haps-for although he talked about it
King Edward went to Biarritz without
It.
When he returned some weeks later
he again sent for Cartier.
Il wish to see that wonderful black
pearl, again." he said.
at has been bought the distressed
jeweler explained.
Who bought It? What sovereign
was before me?' asked Edward.
Mrs. Leeds Beats King.
Cartier shook his head. 1T was a
lady," he answered IAN immensely
wealthy American lady"
Mrs. Leeds OF New York"
Then It was Carriers time to be as
tonished. for King Edward said: why
that Is the lady who had the trouble
with the customs ct New York about
her pearls"
The jeweler confirmed this, amazed
that the king should remember the In

King Edward was staying at Hotel
Bristol in Paris and Mrs. Leeds was
at the same hotel. When King Ed
ward heard this from Cartier he sent
the jeweler to Mrs. Leeds with the
request that she permit him to see
again the black pearl, as we'll as the
other pearls in her remarkable collec-
ton. including the $4,000 necklace
that had caused her most ANNOYANCE at
New York.
King Examines Pearls,
In a little while Cartier was back
with Mrs. Leeds pearls, and the king
spent many minutes examining them.
When Cartier returned the gems to
Mrs. Leeds he took this message from
King Edward:
Would Mrs. Leeds little bow like
to play with King Edwards doey.
Presently Cartier came back again
with the dog. and on the massive sill
yer collar was the inscription: This
is the kings dog"
Mrs. Leeds played with the kings
dog all the afternoon. and when the
animal was sent back to his royal mas
ter there was note OF gratitude from
the mother OF Mrs. Leeds little boy.
Then came an invitation from the
king ian invitation is a command) 70
visit London: the king would be de-
lighted to see her there.
Mrs. Leeds changed her plans. She
went to London. She has seen the king
on several occasions, and 1t is be-
lieved here that some day England will
be her home. It is said that King Ed
ward has taken great fancy to her
and wishes that her immense fortune
could be allied to q great title

Adam got his rich. beautiful and

Emperor Diocletian. at Spalato. As
finish to interiors he conceived the
idea Of using figures In relief upon
walls. coiored and adorned according
to Raphaels Stance painted nat upon
the walls Of the Vatican. His idea
was as bold as its result was beauti-
full. He also adopted Pompeiian styles
Of decoration.

product from which is manufactured
the purest article Of soap that Is possi-

berry IS a natural soap and will make
a lather almost like the manufactured
article. The soap berry tree Is now
creating widespread interest. and the
berries are being imported from Al

Of soap. and the two together make a

the SOAP berries make a very fine oil.
