 Americans Better THEY NEED MONEY
Crown Princess of Sweden to Enter tain Society "Old Maids'-King George Is Witty-Mary of
 Teck Is Original
BY LADY MARY MAINTAINING

London, October I.-(Speeial.) "A notable birthday last week was that of the Duke of Buccleuch, who reached his seventeth birthday. -TIis grace is also by separate creation, Duke of Queensberry. These are both Scottish titles, the former conferred in 1863, the latter in 1706. His grace sits in the house of lords by virture of hs English earldom of Doncaster, which originated in the same year as his Buc- cleuch earldom But he possesses still older titles. He is Baron Scott of Buc- cleuch, dating back to 1906, Earl of Buc- cleuch, and Baron Scott of Winchester and EsSdaill, 1619. The peerage of 1906 was conferred on a Sir Walter Scott, warden of the West Marches whose great grandfather of the same name was dar- ing chief, whose unsuccessful attempt to rescue King James from the Earl of Angus is the foundation of the story told by his famous namesake in the Lay of the Last Minstrel"
 In his day the Duke of Buccleuch has taken keen interest in politics. He tells story of how, as Earl of Dallleith, he put up for parliament. He was canvass ing an old farmer on his fathers estates, and tie voter, ignorant of the identity Of his visitor, said he did not know the earl. But you know the dule?" said a friend accompanying the candidate Yes, I know the dukes a grand mon," retorted the farmer. s"Then. you'll surely vote for his son." pleaded the canvasser. But the farmer was not to be won so easily. I'm no sure about that he slowly re- piled It's no every coo that has q calf life herself
 For generations past the Duchesses of Buccleueh have been fayorites with roy alty. One, the wife of Duke Henry. was particularly popular, and like the present duchess, she was of a gentle kindly tenn perament. Her passion for old customs was most marked, and among one of the ancient traditions she upheld was the maintenance of piper a Dalkeith palace. He was rare character, and always referred to any function at which her grace was present as ''Ye see; 1t couldna' be anything but a success, as her grace and masef were there.' When coming to Dalkeith he met her grace couple of miles from the house, and no matter how great a hurry she was in, persisted in playing her home to the tune of welcome "Dalkeith Has Got a Rare Thing" Pos sibly he may have done this out of love for his mistress; but he always eagerly accepted his wonted fee of five shilings

 The newcomer, prompted by curiosity and a desire to learn whether the other had been overcharged, went into the store and moment later the scout saw a ring being taken from the window.
 Fifteen minutes later he was sur prised to see the same handsome wo- man talking to another, and, impelled by curiosity, he stopped and listened. This time he learned that it was a brooch that resembled one in the win dow. The same talk brought the new conner Into the store.
 This was repeated several times with in the next hour, it being either a watchf, earring, hatpin or some other piece of jewelry according to the ap- pearance of the prospective customer. An interview was sought by the scout, but chilling look and steely glint of her eyes forced him to leave with out the desired story of this new way of securing customers.

From the New York World.
 There are tricks in every trade, and the Metropolitan Section Scout discov- cred several new ones last week.
 The first was found in front of q Broadway jewelry house. and it was only chance that led to the discovery. Among the people who were looking at the display of watches, diamonds and other pretty things was a strikingly handsome woman, well gowned and plentifully supplied with jewelry.
 She stood, seemingly engrossed in the window display, and in minute or so another lady stopped alongside her. The first turned and, in tone indicating marked surprise, said:
 Well what do you think of that? There is ring exactly like the one I am wearing, marked $65, and l paid s125 for mine" Then, showing a ring, she said: Don't you think it is ex- actly the same?"
 The other woman looked at the ring in the window and at the one on the others hand and admitted that there was a strong resemblance.

Copenhaeen, October Especial .)-Nor- way has again presented evidence that it is most progressive of continental countries, though it is get uncertain how the women who have the full fran chise, will view this particular evidence of progress.
 II is a measure now in process of pas sage that no marriage shall be per formed unless the prospective bride has previously obtained a certificate attest ing a satisfactory knowledge of cooking, laundry iand dressmaking.

I understand that King George and Queen Mary are likely to be more hospit
 able to Americans in the future Though at first they were disposed to exclude from court circles many United States citizens of excellent families and great wealth. they are beginning to realize se-
 rious interest in the commercial prosper ity of the country hints it would be wise to give more attention to Americans.
 They are beginning to see that King Edwards broadmindedness in receiving so many Americans had an advantage for the shops and hotels of England because it caused a great influx of Americans. Since the present rulers decided they would cut down the list of Americans welcome in tho court circle they have found hundreds of tourists form the United States are staying away from England and are not spending their money there or giving an incentive 10 | many lines of business. For that reason alone the King has decided to pick out
 many Americans of the smart set and give greater zest to the visits of wealthy Americans to his country
 Two of society's most beautiful "old
 mads" Miss Muriel Wilson and Lady Marjorie Manners have been invited to stay with the Crown Princess of Swe- den. If a vote were taken in society as to its favorites there Is little doubt that these ladies would find themselves at the
 head of the poll. Like all the Connaught family the crown princess of Sweden en- joys amusing and interesting people those with individuality and distinctive ness and who do things" That her two latest guests have these character istics all will affirm. Miss Muriel Will son holds her place in tho front rank of beautiful women. She is one of the cleverest amateur actresses and the best read of her set. In the days of these famous amateur performances held each
 New Year at Chatsworth. when King Edward and Queen Alexandra visited the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. Miss
 Muriel Wilson was Invariably one of the leading ladies in the programme. Like Lady Marjorie Manners she speaks per feet French. The Duke of Rutlands eld- est daughter paints so well it seems ab- surd to call her an amateur She is known as Lady Perfect Manners.
 The King is credited with a witty vein. The agent of a burglary insurance firm insured for his majesty a lot of valu- able tapestries, plate and pictures. In his elation, he asked if he might an- nounce this fact. But his majesty smiled, shook his head and replied: well. on the cwhole, l think you had better not. My subjects might feel offended if they thought I entertained any suspicion of honesty"
 Princess Mary of Teck, the daughter
 of Prince and Princess Alexander of Teck is original in her remarks. She was told recently by her grandmother. the Duchess of Albany, that she was a naughty little girl, because she had been pluckng blossoms off the rose trees at
 Claremont and scattering the petals.
 And" added her grandmother, If you are troublesome you won't go to Heaven"
 ''Well. rejoined the princess, 'I have been to the Hippodrome, and Aunt Mary's party at Buckingham palace, and really, grandmamma, l can't expect to go every where.'
