Press dispatches from Pekin an nounce that tho Dowager Empress of China is having a 'palace especially pre pared for the reception and entertain ment of Miss Alice Roosevelt, whom she has invited ' to bo her guest.

Miss Carl Is declared to havo been the only foreigner to be a resident guest nt the Chinese court since the day of Marco Polo, S0 or so years ago. Miss Can was painting the portrait of the Dowager Empress for exhibition at tho St. Louis Exposition.. In a' forthcom ing number of the. Century Magarine she is to detail her experiences as the guest of the Empress. If Miss Roose velt should reside under the same roof with the- Empress An, she would nave the distinction of belng the only woman in the worki besides Miss Carl so hon ored. TheVo seems to be no doubt about the friendliness of Her Imperial Majesty of China tqwardi Americans.
