gone by there was little cripple at
the home in whom the late Capt.
Archie Butt was interested. Both
he and she had a great fondness
for dogs and Capt. Butt would pay
weekly visits to the home, always
taking his dogs along. He would
relate spicy bits of gossip and news
to her, for she, too, had once known
the world of society and at one time

for France. She was to lecture some
where in New York, but called 1t

inspiration.
The Prince OF Wales neighbor UP
In Alberta, Canada, has written an
awfully charming, chatty book about
his highness. Nothing particularly
new and nothing very revealing, but
good reading and well put together.
Mr.. Hunt, the author, owns the
adjoining ranch to the princes and
seems to have been introduced to him
by the 'exuberant and boisterous
Nancy"-Lady Astor. When he was
writing his book he was given a room
at York House. st. James Palace, the
princes London residence. 1t is not
revealed just how much converse he
had with what he describes az the
most popular man in England, and Of
