PLACING CROWN ON PAG0DA
Solemn Ceremony at Mandalay That
Attracted Crowds Of the DeVout
Followers Of Buddha.

A curious festival was held not long
ngo in Mandalay, the chief town Of
Burma. A new pagoda dedicated to
the Buddhist religion was to be com.
pleted by the placing of huge crown
or thi upon its summit, more than 300
feet above the ground.
TO witness the ceremony came Bud
dhists from Indo-China, from the
Hlmalayas, from Laos aud Chan and
Siam. Warriors from Katschin Sorcer-
ers from Mot and people from other
places made a medley Of languages
like that at Babel.
On street corner would be seen
barber pulling a customers tooth On
another corner a Mohammedan bird
dealer sold Gagged paroquets to Bud
dhists who pously set them free. At
very modern booths one could buy ice
cream, soda or tea. Mandalay was a
gorgeous ectacle and the new pagoda
was the center of it.
Every pagoda has at its summit 4
thi, or cap, the placing Of which is Of
ten a herculean task. The one now
to be raised weighed several hundred
pounds and consisted of a glded ball
and crown and a great spindle above
1t.
TO get it to the top an inclined plane
Of bamboo scaiIoding like huge to-
boggan slide had been built, and was
decorated with silk flags and umhrel-
las. Up the inclined plane the heavy
cap was slowly pulled. Six days
were required for the ascent and a
seventh to fasten it in place.

that the Duke does not care to live in it.
He owns Grosvenor House, a splendid
old mansion in London, and half dozen
great country estates besides Eaton Hall.
Even while he was engaged to the beau
tiful Shelagh West the Duke showed his
unstable character by becoming entangled
with the notorious Mrs. Anterior.
After a very few years of married life
the conflict between the self-ipdulgent Duke
and his high-spirited wife became marked.
Strange to say, the Duke objected to the
innocent social and athletic pastimes of
his wife. He thought II beneath the dig
nifty Of a Duchess of Westminster to dis
play the siiapely figure nth which nature
had gifted her in various sports. He was
displeased that the lady who bore his name
should play in amateur performances of
French farce.
During the same period he was associ-
ated with some of the most brilliant orna-
ments of the London and Paris music hall
stage Such things, he thought, were the
privilege of his rank and position.
When the Duchess first discovered tina.
the Duke was staying away from home
more than he ought she was naturally
deeply hurt. She was one OF the most adj
mired young women in society. Corn

for her wit and herself possessed of many
accomplishments and mental attractions
She was, Of course, one of the greatest
beauties In society. She had always been
O favorite of the Court set. When she
was quite little girl King Edward had
told her that she was going to be the most
popular hostess in England.
Undoubtedly she thought over all her
charms and claims and then wondered
that the Duke could turn his back on them

idea of happiness was to spend the even.
ing with a noisy party Of theatrical peo-
pie He didn't care in the least for Court
society. He thought Miss Gertie Millar OF
the Gaiety Theatre, was one of the most
entertaining social companions, but he
wasn't at all particular or exclusive.
He helped TO introduce the late Gapy
Deslys to the British public. He obtained
a position in London for the Polish charm
er, Wanda de Bancza who was called the
greatest beauty of the day for brief
time.
The Duchess stamped her little loot
with rage and then she thought the Duke
was crazy. An idea struck her-she would
bring him TO his senses. She would imi
tate his behavior, with certain important
differences, OF course. She showed herself
In very Bohemian society and acted quite

unlike duchess. She felt sure that would
make him see the error Of his ways.
Far from it! 1t only made him treat
her more harshly and coldly than before,
while he did not reform his own ways In
the least.
Queen Mary showed her sympathy for
the Duchess in her wrongs, although the
Duke was related to her. his aunt having
married the Queens brother. There was
a gr(at State ball at Buckingham Palace,
to which the Duchess was invited by the
King and Queen, while the Duke was
pointedly omitted.
When the Duke heard of this he was
furious and gave orders that his wife
should not be admitted to their town
house when she came home from the ball.
For some years, by the way, he had been
accustomed to stay away from this house
every night and not to speak to his wife
during the day.
As a result of this order the Duchess
could not get into her own house when
she came home, about o'clock In the
morning. She tried the house Of a rela-
tive of her husband and could not get In
there In consequence all London heard
minister had been driving around In her
best clothes with no place to sleep In.
The Duchess declared that she would
have her rights and her divorce and tell
all about the Duke. Queen Mary, with her
customary solicitude for the dignity OF
society sent for the Duchess and urged
her to bear her wrongs for the sake Of her
children and the example to others. The
Duchess promised to defer any action for
a period.
Then the war came and at that time she
would not th,nk of bringing her private
wrongs before the public. A few months
after the armistice she gave notice Of her
divorce proceedings.

the Duchess and made final effort to dis

been for years.
The war came to an end and the friend
ship between the Duchess and her patient
continued. He proposed to go back to
business to earn his living, but she en-.
gagged him as her secretary to aid in vari-
Gus public-spirited schemes she was carry
ing on. She followed up the soldiers she
had nursed and tried to help them and
their families. She intended, as he has told
her friends, to devote the rest of her life
to relieving some OF the misery and bitter
ness left by the war.
Then she determined that she would be
free from her husband, the Duke, free to
do as she pleased, I'm spite of all the con-

Six months ago the Duchess began her
divorce suit, and now she has been mar.

marriage occurred one month after her
divorce decree was made absolute. Most
people believe naturally that her interest
in him decided her to obtain her divorce.
The friends of the couple assert that the
Duchess played the loading part in bring

have dared propose TO a duchess.
One day with absolute secrecy and no
sign of any wedding preparations they
went away to a little English village, Lynd-

registrar" an English official who per
forms marriages and registers births and
deaths. He officiates at marriages in

The wealth OF the Duke is enormous.
