PRETTY HELLO GIRL
CAPTURES REAL PRINCE
Scion of French Monarchy Coming to
Los Angeles in Hope Of Winning
His Suit.

Los Angeles.-Prince Eugene Arle-
mere Du Bois sciop of one of the
most famous families of France, is
coming to Los Angeles to press his
suit for the hand of Miss Michele lie
Grand, the petite and pretty telephone
operator at the Hayward Hotel, whom
he met while she was on visit to her
aunt in Paris, and which lasted two
months.
Despite his avowed determination
to win her, Miss lie Grand says that
the visit of the prince to Los Angeles
will avail him nothing, as she has no
use for noblemen.
When she returned from Paris to
New York, Miss lie Grande found a
Cablegram awaiting her from the
prince, announcing his intention of
visiting her in Los Angeles. She ar
rived in Los Angeles this afternoon.
While ON our way to the railroad
station IN Paris, Prince Du Bois pro-
posed to me- said Miss lie Grand,
"and l told him that such a thing as
matrimony, had not yet entered my
head. II he comes here h will have
his trouble for his pans"

10 GATHER THE ARMY
AT LARGE STATIONS

Washington.-The concentration of
the army at large stations, strageti-
cally stationed for military purposes
and the abandonment of the small
posts is under consideration by the
war department
The idea of the scheme which re-
quires the sanction of congress. is to
construct in the vicinity of cities or
large towns compact barracks each
to mold an entire regiment. Most of
the commissioned officers. according
to the plans, will find accommoda-
tions within the city, obviating the
necessity of building extensive Off
GERS quarters on the reservation.
1t is proposed to locate the greater
part of tie infantry in the northern
states and the cavalry and field ar
tillery in the south where forage is
cheap and where horses may be kept
out practically the entire year.

QUEEN DISFIGURED BY
BAD BRITISH WASPS
Disrcspectful Insects Attack Her
While Taking Tea on Ducal
Lawn.

London-Queen Ena of Spain,
passed through London this week alb
solutely unrecognized. This failure
of recognition was not due to any at
tempt to preserve an incognito, but
to the simple fact that her majesty
was unrecognizable.
The secret lies in the one word
wasps.
The English are particularly fond
of declaring that one can take ones
ease in the country even in the tropi-
cal spells without being annoyed by
the venomous insects against which
one has to wage a perpetual war in
the United States, but, while It's
true mosquitoes are practically un-
known, it is equally true that wasps--
wops as they are vernacularly known
are much in evidence. And so the
queen of Spain found.
The English wasps are indeed the
plague of English house parties, one
of whose standard pleasures is that
of taking tea and marmalade on the
lawn. queen Ena was a guest Of the
Duke and Duchess of Westminster at
Eaton Hall, and while enjoying the
afternoon reception the party was at
tackled by a swarm of wasps.
All the party was attacked, but
Queen Ena was the center of par
ticularly vicious attack and before the
hostess and guests could escape, she
was so badly stung in the face that
it swelled out of all recognition. So
disfiguring were the swellings that
Alfonso, who has been spending a
few care free days with eX-King Man
uel and his mother at their Hampton
Terrace residence, scarcely knew the
swollen features of his wife.
