An agreeable surprise comes from
the Florida resorts to the effect that
the opening spring will see phe-
nomenally busy building season. and
are to be erected by British noble
men to whom the European winter
pleasure spots have become distaste-
full. There can be no question that
the Riviera has been swallowed up
by the profiteer and his ambitious
family, and that Cannes and Biarritz
are no longer what they were Lord
Queenborough. formerly Almeric
Paget, and whose first wife was Miss
Pauline Whitney, passed a few weeks
about Daytona and Palm Beach, with
his bride. last year, and he is one
home as soon as the spring is suffi-
ciently advanced. Mr.. Otto Kahn is to
erect two houses, one for himself and
family, and another for the Marriotts
and their infant daughter, Mrs. Mar
riott having been Miss Maude Kahn
before she married the British army
officer. The Barclay Warburtons and
the Gurnee Munns. both well known
in Washington, are among those who
have decided that earth offers moth
ing more desirable in the frozen
season than the outskirts of Palm
Beach. Mr.. Mum had a villa last
winter At Biarritz, but has no desire
to repeat the experience this season.
Another Britisher who is considering
plans for a villa near st. Augustine is
Claude Graham White, the aviator.
Lady Beatty will pass part of the late
winter in Palm Beach If possible, her
husbands engagements having pre-
vented a visit during theirsrecent So
journ, and the Beattys, too, speak of
obtaining a permanent home, since it
is almost impossible to lease desirable
dwellings during the height of the
season or from New Year until
Easter.

NEW YORK. June 29-The

ton Standard oils of California
