RICHEST TEXAS
WOMAN BUILDS
RANCH PALACE
Famous Lone Star Outfit To
Have Finest Ranch House
in the World
MARKS END OF EIGHTY
YEARS OF HARDSHIP
Original Ranch House, Built In
1852, Was Guarded by
Cannon

HOUSTON, Tex, Aug. 4.-The Lone
Star States richest woman is building
the finest ranch house In the world
Mrs. Henrietta NJ. King. pioneer ranch
wife and the owner OF the most ia
nous Ianch in the United States, after
eighty years Of hardship, is building
a palace on the site of the old ranch
house. which was burned more than
a year ago.
Spanish, Venetian and Henry VIII
styles Of architecture are combined I'm
the new home. From distance the
building appears to be one Of the Old
World castles transplanted TO the
prairies of Texas. But ii isn't cas-
tie. 1t has too much OF the rambling
grandeur of the Italian villa, OF the
famous country homes of the land OF
famous homes, to be castle.
One of the Spanish characteristics
Is the patio In the center
II is not that people may stand In
awe of its magnificence that the $780,
900 is being spent away out on the
Santa Gertrudis ranch. Mrs. King Is
building a home. Hot water pipes
electric lights, an elevator and every
modern convenience were included in
the plans for the new building. Every
detail was planned for ease and quiet
There is rest even In the decoration
or the interior. which was done by
Tiffany, and in the panels represent
ing ranch scenes.
Captain King was an old steamboat
captain before he came to Texas. He
was running his own boat on the Rio
Grand river when he met Mrs King
They married and went TO make
their home in the wilderness. That
was in 1852. Captain King had bought
a large tract OF grazing land from
the state. He stocked it with cattle
from the surrounding ranches. In
1852 the fort-ranch house was built.
Time and again during the first
years on the ranch and during the
Civil war Captain King and his
young wife had cause 10 be thankful
that their home was a fortress and
that two cannon guarded il.
The original tract was increased
until the whole ranch in Nueces and
Cameron counties consisted of 1850
900 acres.
The new ranch house will be fin.
ished this fall. 1t is probable that
on its completion IL will become. more
than ever before, one Of the places In
Texas that are known wherever Texas
and Texas hospitality are known.

How to Take Care of Your Teeth i'm Summer
BY MADAME MlLLEFLEURS

how yellow girls teeth will get dur

OF course. this must be only fool

their teeth more in summer than in

We eat more acid fruits and the
warm weather lulls any grumbing
teeth that may be decayed TO sleep
until the cold weather begins TO call

While acid fruit eaten in moderation
is very healthful. yet the modern

The RitZ-Carlton, Paris. Aug. 6.
Almost every American man or wo-

all French woman are frivolous and
rather lax.
The extreme contrary is the case,

man from the French novel and the
newspaper accounts of those butter

whose vagaries the big Paris dress

glad to coin into fashions for the too
