Americans Again in Favor

Influence of Duchess of Roxburghe Has Caused
Queen Mary to Change Her Attitude
Toward Hostesses From u. S. A.

ingham Palace Is particularly significant
in connection with the change of attitude
on the part Of the Queen toward Ameri-
can women.
The Duchess of Manchester. formerly

has also been made acquainted recently
with the fact that the Queen would like
to meet her more frequently. This again

inasmuch as the Duchess OF Manchester

Introduce the tango In private house.
Queen Mary. as IL well known. did not
approve of the step being danced at en-
tertainments In private homes. but the
Duchess did not see anything objection
| able IN the dance and refused to alter her
opinion. as some other hostcsses did. on
account Of the Queens objection. Now
Queen Mary has 40 far altered her own
opinion regarding the tango that she has
permitted ladies OF the royal household
to attend dances where the modern step
is danced.
The revival Of American influence at
court will undoubtedly enliven and
brighten the normally rather dull and
heavy atmosphere prevailing at the Eng

Special Cable Despatch 10 The su>
LONDON, Jan. 10. - Samuel Montaru
Coy in his Bullion Letter for 1919 says
that "the British sovereign resembles
bird in its migration and nesting pro-
pensities, for its stay in country il
very short and lasts perhaps only during
the period when the crops are being
financed"
He proceeds to say that sovereiGns con
tinue to be coined in great numbers, Of
which only small proportion remains
In Great Britain, the great bulk being
exported to India and elsewhere In the
British Empire or in 'oregn countries,
British gold" he says. has become
the handest form OF International re-
mittance. So much is this recognized
that the Bank of France makes special
efforts to maintain a substantial stock OF
soverelRns in its vaults
The report indicates doubt as TO
whether the worlds product OF gold this
wear will exceed that Of 1919 which will
probably prove to be in the neighborhood
OF $500. 900, 900.
A capacious appetite for gold was mani
tested by India during the year Just
ended and II has been followed by indica-
lions of safety.

LONDON. Jan. 10.--One OF the most no
ticcable Developments at court during the
past few months has been the marked
favor which has been paid by royalty to
some American women.
Until very short time ago Americans
were very rarely seen In the immediate
encourage OF the Queen. As . matter Of
tact. 1t Is generally believed that Lady
Bertha Dawkins. the Queens private Sec
rotary used to intimate privately to the
prospective hostesses Of the Queen that
she did not wish to meet Americans, with
certain rare exceptions.
This state OF affairs has now been
changed to such an extent that, far from
wishing to avoid meeting Americans. the
Queen has recently. IN some instances.
gone out Of her way to express par
ticular desire TO meet them.
Those in the immediate encourage "
the Queen attribute this change In the
