Board Meeting

DETROIT. Mich, Nov. S.-When
the members Of the National Assoc
citation of Real Estate Boards gather
in Detroit next June for their
annual convention, they need not so
so very far from their headquarters
to find striking instance of the
way in which real estate values in
crease.
Manhattan island may have been
E0'd for $23 by the Indians. and sec.
tons of Chioago's loop were perhaps
bartered for an assortment of gaudy
trinklets, but the record in cash
real estate transactions must I'M
doubtedly go to the plot OF ground
in this city which was once bought
Cor one large copper cent.
The purchaser was Mary Watson
Hudson, citizen of Detroit, who
obtained a plot Of ground In ac-
cordance with an act Of Congress,
which for a cash consideration
granted every resident a real estate
holding, following the disastrous
fire of 1905 in which the thriving
little city was virtually destroyed.

My Dear, Yes! You Should Attend "A
 Scene At Hollywood
 Some of the pretty little movie stars have banded together in clubs at Holly wood for the pursuit of culture, and in their clubs they study the lives of au- thors and read papers to one another and improve their minds by discussion of paramount issues, something as fol- lows:
 Isn't this awful, all about taking bribes in Washington ?"
 .'Oh, yes, perfectly awful"
 ''Who took it?"
 "Who took what?' f'
 "Who took the bribes?"
 'NOh, my dear; you frightened me to death! l though somebody had lost her pearls"
 "I didn't say anything about pearls. |" A''I know you didn't, dear. You were talking politics"
 ''Yes; what do you think of Cool idgeY' &
 ''Well, don't know. I saw picture of him the other day and his finger nails were cut square across"
 "Oh, my dear! How awful"
 'Yes, my dear; and did you see Gilda Gasbag's nails at the preview of 'Blaz- ing Bankrolls' the other night? They were a yard long! !"
 "Yes, I did, my dear, and if Gilda doesn't stop licking up about three pounds of caramels and a pint of gin every evening, she'll break the scales and wake up on the small time circuit" !"

sTOOPs TO CONQUER

A Writer Finds Significance In A.
 Princes TumbIes From His Horse
 The Prince of Wales falls off his horse and gets on again. Queen Mary has pocket in her petticoat. Against royalty like that revolution has no weapons.
 Walking home from his majesty's theatre, we take the short cut through the stable yard of St. James's palace. Royalty sleeps all about us. But for the dim gas lanterns splashing the old gray walls with deeper patches of dark, noth- ing has been changed since the six, teenth century.
 At York house, up there in that room with the Nottingham curtains (the ones with the fleur-de-lis pattern), the heir apparent will later (probably quite a, bit later) go to bed. Next door, behind those long lengths of ruffled muslin, is a doting grandmother. All London knows, and is glad, that she takes his part, as proper grandmother should. Alexandra has her memories and her tolerances.
 Just around the corner in South Aud ley street lives Princess Mary, and al- most any fine day you can see the princess baby out in the perambulator. 1t lS announced that AlreaQy 4SnDell Mcdonald is a great favorite with the queen," and that-the Prince of Wales has been lunching in Downing street.
 As the people ascend royalty de- scends; but in England, unlike the rest of the world, 1t seems to stoOp only to conquer. Except by marrying a com moner, and thereby lifting the people stil higher, the Prince of Wales could do nothing more endearing than to fall off his horse and get on again.
 He rides, of course. No Engiishman could do less. He is a good sport. He gets up again. That, too, is essential. But though he is prince of the royal blood, though he is potential king, he is not the king of horsemen. Thou sands of his subjects are his peers. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, more are his superior.
 By the mere act of falling off his horse he exalts every horseman in Eng land and grapples them to him with the subtlest but strongest of bonds, faIlibility Bessie Beatty kn the Century Magazine.
