stead, quit a hundred feee above the
level OF London, has the most beauti-
full grounds all around it and yet is
within five miles of the city. It's size
may be gathered from the fact that a
nine-hole golf course has been laid
down on the grounds by the grand
duke, who, with his daughters. is an
ardent "gawfer." on the other side
of the house is wonderful flight of
grass steps, which lead into ornamental
gardens, where there are fish ponds, an
old sun dial and a fountain. Three sides
of the property are surrounded by the
Highgate woods. so that absolute pri-
vacy is ensured, and, of course, every
modern convenience is found inside of
the house.
The young Countess NADIA, the dukes
second daughter, will make her official
debut this year. though she went cut
a great deal with her sister last year,
and much entertaining will be done at
Kenwood during the season. Rumor
persists in connecting the name of the
elder daughter. Countess Zia, with that
of the hereditary Grand Duke Adolf OF
Mecklenburg- -Strelitz, who was over
here last season, and who certainly
paid her a great deal of attention.
A good many people got a shock last
week when their malullnal rag III
formed them that the lists of presenta-
tions at all the courts We're already
closed and no further applications could
be considered This again marks a
wide difference between the procedure
of former reigns and the present one.
Not nearly so much restriction was put
on those admitted in the Victorian pc
riod. and the aged sovereign, though
it's true she sat down all the time, was
a champion 'long slayer and didn I
mind how long the wearisome analr
lasted.
Regulations as to "presentees' grew
stricter under Edward VII. and the
lists have grown steadily smaller every
year. This is due, it is said, to the
rigorous examination which they un-
dergo Now queen Mary has deter
mined that presentation at court shall
serve as good conduct prize i'll So
ciety, so on anybody whose innocence
the least breat of gossip has tarnished,
the Nemesis of her majesty's blue pen
ell ruthlessly falls.
The latest rules for court dress have
brought about such a breakneck speed
past the presence. in this reign that
the courts are threatened with an en-
tire lack of dignity. In the good old
days, the "presentee' had her handsome
voluminous train spread out behind her
by a court official and she sailed past
the sovereign and the half dozen minor
royalties standing around. making a
curtsey to each en- route. But her sar-

A Plant That Coughs

FROM 11t-bitS'
All have read of carnivorous plants, of
laughing plants, and of plants that weep;
but who has heard of a plant that
coughs? There is the authority of q
French botanist, however. for the state
ment that plant in various tropical
regions actually possesses the power to
cough in the most approved manner. The
fruit of this plant resembles the COM
mon broad bean. 1t appears that the
coughing plant Is something of crank
that 1t easily works itself into a rage
and that it has a curious horror of all
dust. AS soon as few grains of dus!

NEW RULES FOR AUTOS
WORRY POLICE FORCE
Officers Endeavor to Explain
Provisions, But Lack Printed
Instructions.

Confusion among automobilists resulted
from the first days campaign of education
In the matter of acquainting occupants
of the horseless vehicles with the new
traffic regulations. Very few policemen
were able to tell inquirers much about
the new rules, not having seen a copy Of

knowledge of the provisions of rrthe ordi-
nance. ~

during the day. and from points in which
precincts many Of the big sightseeing au-
tomobiles start on their trips.
Do Not Agree on Provisions.
1t was stated that policemen had diff
ferent versions of the new regulations to
give. In one instance. it is stated. an au-
tomobilist was told by policeman that

could have been distributed or left where
they could easily have been obtained,
the police say. and then ignorance OF the

say they will be greatly inconvenienc-
