PRINCESS "SOLD'OUT"
EVENT AT PARIS SURELY MARKS
THE DATE IN ROYALTIES.
Madcap Daughter of Old King Leopold
of Belgium Left Little for Her
Creditors Empty Wardrobes
. All They Could Find.
Princess Louise of Belgium has just
been sold out by the sheriff in Paris.
It marks the 'date in royalties. The
papers of all Europe have their edi
torials upon it.
"What can we be coming to?", they
ask. "The furniture of a king's daugh
ter sold by public auction."
But the Princess Louise was not in
Paris. .
"Let the things go!" she said grand
ly. Princess Louise was in Vienna,
wearing her magnificent Jewels. At
least the shopkeepers of Vienna think
bo. Half the time the princess' con
fidential maid has the real jewels on
and Louise wears imitations of them.
The shop keepers of Vienna know
this also. Half the time both maid
and princess wear false Jewels, the
real ones being snugly hidden in a
box of blacking on the kitchen mantel.
And the shopkeepers of Paris know
this also.' Also those of Paris, London,
Rome, Geneva, Nice, Abazla and Na
ples. When . the princess is within
their bailiwicks keen ' eyes . of confi
dential "agents" seek to discern when
she wears her real Jewels.
Do they hope to put the sheriff on
them? Not at all It is to sell her
more goods and get payments on ac
count of what the princess owes them.
When she wears her real Jewels it is
a sure sign that Princess Louise is in
funds. Often she fools them this way
also.
The princess is the queen of shop
pers. Fifty hanging wardrobes in a
single Paris flat I
They crowded four spare bedrooms
like a clothing warehouse, lining the
walls and forming alleys up and down
the floor. . , ,
The Paris sheriff found the 50 ward
robes empty.
Gone, the $23,000 sable coat, made
of "a hundred black imperial pelts, se
lected by an expert during two years"
so they told her. Gone, the chin
chilla ulster with silver fox collar that
was charged $11,000; 'gone, the ermine
lined chinchilla mantle, whose price
had been $13,000. Gone, also, the
tailored gowns which she bought ten
in an afternoon; . the evening cos
tumes, dishabilles, and afternoon
gowns, signed by the great makers at
$500 to $1,000 each; and all those "100
pairs of new shoes" and "300 new
hats," and the "Louise handkerchiefs"
at $25 each, which the Vienna papers
told about
All the sheriff found to levy on was
furniture and bric-a-brac, too heavy or
bulky for surreptitious removal!
Of course, the great shopkeepers of
Europe don't believe it They believe
the disinheritance to be a trick against
themselves. The fortune is so great
that a single lump of "twenty-six mil-
llona" could "disappear," a lump of
fifty-four millions" could . belong to
the estate or not a' third lump of "fif
teen millions" be described as "all
that I got from my father and mother"
and "three trunks full of securities" be
supposedly disputed about to this day,
without the lists of them or the sum
total of their millions having been yet
discovered!
An interminable sale. The first aft
ernoon it lasted five hours! .Thrice, in
solemn tones, the governmental func
tionary called aloud - the princess'
name to appear, pay the debt and
claim her goods. Thrice there was
silence. Then, her default established,
he proceeded to sell the complete din
ing room set of furniture which
brought $446. It was the highest price
of the two days' sale! The total two
days' sale brought only $7,800.
Recognition Comes Slowly. -
"The late Alfred RuBgell Wallace, the
co-dlscoverer with Darwin of evolu
tion, had a hard row to hoe at first"
said a Baltimore physiologist
"Poor Dr. Wallace had, in fact, such
a, very hard row to hoe that he
couldn't afford to marry till he was
sixty-three, when to balance matters
he wedded a young girl of eighteen,
by whom he had a son and a daugh
ter. "I commiserated in London last
summer with Dr. Wallace.
"'It was too bad,' I said. 'A man
of genius like you cramped with pov
erty till past middle life! It was too
bad.'

ACR033 TRAFALGAR SOUARL
EMERGING from a west end
theater in London a companion
remarked to the writer: "This
makes me glad to be a provin
cial. It's lost on Londoners."
I knew his meaning. The Londoner
may be proud of London in his negli
gent, unenthuslastlc way; he may love
London, perhaps be sentimental about
London, and (not inconceivably) exag
gerate London's cosmic Importance.
But he seldom is thrilled hv London.
That sensation id reserved for the
provincial. Whether it is a sensation
to boast of depends on one's point of
view. ThoBe who count romance as
a Doisoner of clear iudirment mlcht
perhaps regard the provincial's thrill
with scorn, for the thrill Is the tribute
of an incorrigible romantic. In the
north especially, even in the huge
towns, London is a name which calls
forth the liveliest anticipations of ad-1
venture. There is something ingen
uous in the awe with which the young
northerner will speak of the goal of
London. But. an fomnfinsatlnn for h la
extravagant notioa of the wonders of
tne metropolis, be extracts more , oy
irom it wnen he does visit it for a
week, than the cockney can feel in a
lifetime.
Emotion Romantic.
This emotion is. as has been said.
largely romantic It is also, however,
appreciative in tne artistic sense. The
provincial sees London as a series of
pictures. Doubtless the Intelligent
Londoner sees them too, hut he is
usually far less . conscious of them
than is the provincial, even the pro
vincial who has lived in London for
years. My companion at that theater,
standing on the curb and watching
the Dacked traffic slide cast in thn
sheen . of the electrics, , was acutely
aware of his own delight in the spec
tacle.
The Drovinces. ns far as I know rln
not impress the Londoner as London
impresses the provincial; and though
this naive reflection mav arouse an
ironical smile, it is less trite than it
sounds. Our enthusiasm for the glam
or of London reaches its height after
dark, when the lamps are lit Some
of London's most famous thorough
fares are a shade disappointing to us
by darllKht The Strand that Meorn
of the Bohemianlsm celebrated in
music-hall ditties has commonplace
architecture, an unremarkable vista,
and is narrowish as important streets
go. Regent street during the day, is
omy really nne in sunshine. Leices
ter square is uelv. But at dusk th
more vulgar details vanish, concealed
benma the glitter of a dazzling jew
ellery of lights. A dim cobalt skyline
is still visible, but the crudeness of
the roofs and chimney-pots has gone.
Down below, each shop window is a
sparkling cave of multicolored treas
ures; and the pavements, thronged
with promenaders, furnish forth a
spectacle of animation on a Brain
which only treat canitala TWUn
Paris, New York can match. When
the plays are due to begin we have
another entertainment: the rush of
vehicles to the theater porticos.
Wealth suddenly floods out from its
homes and from the restaurants. Ev
ery automobile, as it moves nolBBloaa.
ly past on bulging tires, gives us a
dainty peep-show glimpse of Its lit In
terior. Exquisite toilettes loll against
the rich upholstery. The corner of
Long Acre and Bow street on an
opera night almost suffices to per
suade us that the world's money Is
concentrated in London. Car after
car, in a slowly advancing line, mar
shaled by police, creeps round the
curve and down to Covent Garden's
blazing entrance-doors. Each car con
tains its intimate group, exquisitely
dressed, and (to that gaping provin
cial of ours) sublimely unperceptlve
of the moment's true splendor. With
in the ODera house the pageant of
mmm
luxury is even more amazing. And
the same gorgeous dlvertlsement on
a smaller scale, is seen simultaneous
ly, every night, in 30 or 40 west end
theaters; can be seen, night after
night, without repetition! While outp
side in the street there is a carnival.
Impromptu and undiverted by its own
antics, scarcely less enthralling, gem
med and tinseled and decorated no
less lavishly.
Through Central London.
The wise stranger reserves a night
free from theater-going for a stroll
through central London's streets. Of
course he must see the Embankment,
where a noble vcurve of lights trails
Its reflection, like a flung-down neck
lace, in the water from Blackfriars
to Big Ben. The monstrous tram-
cars, not very impressive by day, are
glass caskets of effulgence, spinning
along theif polished rails below the
cliffs of the Cecil and the Savoy.
The more squalid south side of the
Thames displays an illuminated adver
tisement or two, exasperations to the
aesthete. Westward,' St Stephen's
lifts a fine silhouette athwart a vague
flush of radiance beyond. The light in
the clocktower shows that parliament
is sitting; and a "late extra," bought
in Northumberland avenue, will tell
us what the talk has been about We
have forgotten it by the time we enter
Trafalgar square, where the silhou
ette of lions and Nelson's Pillar are
clear-cut against a flare of gold at the
Coliseum in St Martin's lane. Those
spots of extremer dazzlement always
mark a theater though the picture
palaces are now nearly as blatant
Up by Charing Cross road and round
into Coventry street or Shaftesbury
avenne we get the impression that the
whole of London Is given over to the
pursuit, of pleasure.
This is theater-land: the vortex of
gaiety's whirlpool, only excelled, per
haps only equaled, by our American
friends' fabled half-mile of Broadway.
Why go inside any theater when this
tableau is to be seen free outside?
Why bother with burlesque and ballet
when the evolutions of London's mil
lion pedestrians roll and unroll, tan
gle and untangle here? Why seek
comedy and tragedy behind footlights?
A hundred yards of Piccadilly circus
exhibit enough comedy and tragedy
to last for many an evening. That
I think, or something like it, is hoW
our provincial often feels after his
walk through London at night. Should
he be temperamentally a countryman,
fond of the fields and the fresh air of
heaven, he may be glad enough to see
the last of this exhausting and garish
wilderness of houses and lights and
hectic activity; but even so, he can
not fall to derive some amusement
from Just those aspects of It which
leave the Londoner cold. The Lon
doner buys all his pleasures too di
rectly. A theater is to him a place
wherein to see a play, a cafe is a
place wherein to obtain meat and
drink.
To a stranger a theater is a place
wherein not only to see the play, but
this is a gift supplied without
charge to see the playgoers; a cafe
is a place wherein to get refreshment
for the body with the addition of a
still more stimulating refreshment for
the mind. Pictures! London at night
is a bewildering and kaleidoscopic gal
lery of pictures; and even when. the
streets have emptied and no sound is
heard .but the hoot of a late taxicab
or the trundling of an early market
cart, fresh compositions present them
selves at every turning; mysterious
and endless perspectives of lam pa,
strange, pale facades with blank win
dows rising like precipices from the
canyon of the roadway, or colorless
trees, in some deserted square, throw
ing the pattern of their motionless
leaf-shadows upon the pavement b
