London, July 5.-Prince Henry. King
Georges third son. who is just going TO
Elton, may rot be received with much
enthusiasm as at the private school he
attended he had the reputation of be-
ing a mothers darling and was never
allowed to join in games or to mix with
other boys. He is the first of King
Georges sons to go TO Elton, and he is
supposed to be on the same level with
the other students. He is going to Mr..
Lubbocks house where he is turning
the head of the house out of his rooms.
The boys in the house have decided to
call him Henry, as they don't think
Guelph, his surname "a pretty one"
He will, however, have &c fas, and some
Of the boys are rather looking for
ward to that.
He is not by any means always
good boy. He was so naughty at the
Coronation time that the Queen threat
ened not to take him unless he i'm
proved his ways.
What do 1 care?" was the reply.
THE anarchists will blow you up, and
then father Edward and George, too,
and l, for staying at home, shall be
Henry * and have nine wives"
Clothes Taken from Prince.
A funny incident is reported to have
happened when the Prince of Wales
was captured by Boy Scouts recently.
So that to make sure that His Royal
Highness would not get away. and
that they would in consequence lose
the honor and glory Of having capt
ured him, certain members suggested
that he be made to part with garments
not usually taken off in public. The sug-
sestion was received with cheers and
carried out. When the time came for
his release his clothes were returned
to him.
The manners Of some ladies in So
ciety are not quite pleasing to Queen
Mary. At Ascot she did not approve of
lady members Of the royal Enclosure
handing over their own stakes to the
. "bookies" in the ring. One lady
thought herself Of enough social i'm
portance to ignore the Queens wish
and now there will he one person less
in the royal Enclosure next year.
The Queen also expressed a wish
that she had a few wraps to present
TO certain ladies whose garments were
so thin that the color of their sus-
penders was visible
The remarks made by the English
press on the subject of Alfred G. Van
derbilt not raising his hat to the
Queen at the Richmond Horse Show
are quite uncalled for. it being obvious
that at the moment it was impossible
for him 10 take his hands off the rib
bons.
Just lately one Of the Liberal minis
tiers, whose manners are perhaps not up
TO the We're de We're class, tried to be
little casual with the King, and on
bringing his majesty some documents
to sign remarked he was in a hurry,
and as they were quite unimportant
the King need not bother to read
through them.
VERY we'll" said his majesty, III
they are So unimportant they can
wait" And they are still waiting.
The laugh has gone around against
a rather smart woman in society who
received a letter from a mutual friend
introducing hrs. Selfridge. The lady
somehow had very mistaken idea of
Mrs. Selfridge's position, the name
Selfridge merely conveying bargains to
her mind. but she arose to the occa-
sion and invited d few Of her most in
innate friends to tea Ito meet Mrs.
Selfridge."
At 4:30 p. m. neither Mrs. Selfridge
nor her daughter had appeared. At
5:15 pretty, hite-haired Mrs. Sell
fridge and her daughter arrived, full OF
apologies, but they had had surprise
command TO go to tea with Queen
Alexandra at Marlborough House and
could not get away before. The smart
lady was not very pleased to see the
smiles that passed over the faces of
the other guests.
Duchess Of Teek Visits Paris.
The Duchess of Teck has gone 10
Paris for new treatment Of her eldest
sons eyes. When Prince George was
born, in 1895. his eyes were not washed
properly. It is now hoped that injec-
lions will remove the red rims which
at present disfgrre the fine, good look
ing youth.
The sum of sol .945 was collected on
Queen Alexandra's rose day by pref
lily dressed English and American
girls. This result is within one-third
of last years takings. There will be
big differences in expenses, however.
Last year items under this head to-
tailed $50. 900, a good deal Of which was
frittered ;yay or used for the private
expenses of the ladies selling. This
year the expe nses are $4,000 less, no
ladies sending in claims for hotel bills,
bus fares and so on.
The result shows. too, much bigger
percentage of buyers. Not 50 much
was collected in gold and notes, out
side the Stock Exchange. Many ladies
had TO declare themselves not suffra-
gettes before the people would buy
from them.
