C0NS0RT PICKED By ROYALTY
Somewhat Summary Method Of Mating
a. II 10 Done In the Kingdom
Of Siam.

Kings of Siam apparently do not be-
lieve IN the wisdom of allowing single
women to drift unattached about the
country. In certain districts after a
girl has reached an age where her Sc
curing for herself husband Is con-
sidered doubtful, she becomes q
daughter of the king" That Is, the
king takes upon himself the task OF
settling her suitably In life.
His process Is quite simple, and to
the point. He proceeds to the Sia
mese penitentiary and looks over the
various prisoners. There is law in
Siam that any prisoner can obtain his
release by marrying one OF this class
OF girls, and, naturally enough. any
pisoner whom the king picks out Is
not likely to be backward about con-
senting to the ceremony. Nor does 1t
make any difference II he Is married,
for the men OF that country are not
restricted to one wife.
AS far as can be learned, there Is
no allowance made for the inclination
of the girl in question. She has failed
in her mission in life as far as she
herself Is concerned. and she must
abide by the decision OF the king.
