baudy owned 100000 acres of
what are thought to be the
richest gold lands In, South
Africa. They are valued at
many millions of dollars, but
no one ever has presumed to
make even an estimate Of their
exact worth.
In Bolivia there is a famous
stretch of stock grazing lands,
said to be one Of the richest
ranches in that country. For
many years the Bolivian Gov
eminent has sought to persuade
the owner Of this immense tract,
called the ''Haunehacha;" to
sell it to native Bolivians, who
have been much wrought up be-
cause some of the most valuable
lands in their country belonged
to a foreigner. The heiress to
this great domain is fourteen
year-old Jacqueline.
In England there are Lee
baudy properties which rank
Jacdueline as many times a mill
ionairess. In France there are
large Lebaudy holdings. In
Peru there are Lebaudy ranches
and mining properties which
would make any American girl
an enVied heiress. In Russia,
Germany, Bulgaria and Austria
Lebaudy left great fortunes in
lands, stocks and other proper
ties. No one can estimate now
the value Of these properties,
because Of the war conditions.
Perhaps there is more than
800, 000, 900 there for the little
girl whose mother killed her
father. And in this country al
most every day discovers for
the estate some new parcel Of
valuable land, perhaps in Ohio,
or Colorado, or Maine, which
Lebaudy only remembered own
ing when tax proceedings were
brought against him.

ter as a result He left yesterday for
Boston and the rest of the spring and
summer he will be busy constructing

Laying out courses is not an easy
task. 1t is something like making a

to a first class drcssmaker and you
are perfectly sure of getting results.
Some women can do almost as well as
drcssmakcr. but most women would
botch the job. Even the dressmakers
are different. and some of them are
real artists in their line and command
good prices.
Not an Easy Task
The same is true of golf course archi-
lecture. Show a dozen men hundred
acre plot of ground and ask them to
prepare plans for an eighteen hole
course and YOU are apt to get as many
different plans. Some of the holes will
be excellent, but only one or two out
of the lot will give you first class job.
