end of the limit, or. some such
matter.,
Its" the real Royal Set of America, the ,
last round of the social ladder, the point from
which there is no further to climb. :
These titles have lost their . glitter.
Ordinary nobility has proved , fairly easy to
associate Jtvith, - Returning . travelers ' nave

their successes abroad They found it easier,
to' get on with the title's than with their towns-,

: Commonplace now, seem the earlier suc
cesses. To know a count or a duke confers
no particular : distinction. Almost i any rich
American who goes abroad can meet as many
of them as he fancies. " - ,
These presentations at court, , also, are
lacking in novelty. So many Americans have
secured them that they cause no commotion in
places above the list of fourth-class postoffices.

around Europa and establish the Baroness Vaughan In

Another business man who is on intimate term
with half the sovereigns of Europe Is John Pierpont
Morgan. Over there they regard the, trust' builder

' They-are, used to the Wngs acid queens. They are
quite wU aware that their sovereigns are h uman

"gan has made that blinds ..them to the man.
'Sovereign themselves are not quite free from this
feeling. Besides that, there is profit in knowing the

Perhaps no American who ever went abroad has
been .more truly a member of the royal set. A favorite
of both the kaiser and kalserin. her intimacy with the
imperial family was such as few Germans ever attain.

? CHARMED BY ARTLESSNESS
Something of a. almllar success was achieved in
-London by Mrs. Samuel Kewhousa Fresh frbm the
West, where her husband made millions in mining, h
charmed London, both by her artless manher and her
beauty. - v ' - ' . '
Bored Englishmen were quick to appreciate her. ;
The women, too, tiked her. Therefor she had no
1 rouble la going where her million alone would never
have taken her. 'i he 'members of the royal family
made Just as much of her as of the countess of Gran
ard, who married a member of tne king's household
and turned most of the Englishwomen green with envy
by the magnificence of her entertainments. , .

royal circle, and whmi her husband went to Belgium
as minister from the united States she was, during
, his incumbency, one, of the most brllleant member
of court society. .
Still another, favorite i in Englieh court circles Is
Anthony J.'Drexel and his family. His daughter. Mar
garita, occupies a position keeond to no Kngliah girl,
and meets most of the visiting royalties who frequent
the British capital.
Of the Americans in England none Is on more Inti
mate terms with the king than Mr. Drexel, and, as Is
well known, the king Is far less democratic In his
associates than he was as prince of wales.
Those of the yachting fraternity seem particularly
favored with roval friendship. Mrs. Ogden Goelet and
.'Mrs. .Potter Palmer are omonff tho who pend a ,
good part of their time cruislnsr In foreign waters, and
both are frequently favored with royal personages as
-guests. ' - : -r-- .-

When Mrs. Goelet steams along the shores of the
fatherland she finds it easy to entertain on her float
- ing palace such notable personalities as the mother
of the crown princess- of Germany. Herself the mother
of the duchess of Roxburgh, wife of one of the most
prominent of the younger peers of England as wel
as one of the best polo players of the United Kingdom,
not to mention the princely fortune at her disposal, -Mrs.
Goelet travels with all the pomp and luxury of
a royal personage.
As for Mrs, Potter Palmer, that redoubtable lady
has long ago proved that no doors could long remain
closed to her. One of the Board Of Lady Managers of
the Chicago World's Fair, she was early accustomed
to meet people of royal blood. The slight of th In.
fanta Eulalle of Spain during that memorable fair -bothered
her not th least when the first sharp atlng
had worn away.
Having fully established her social position In
America. Mrs. Palmer took her yacht and herself to
continental climes, and experienced less trouble get

At the beginning of the Japanese War Mr.' Stone mat

compile revocation of th policy of silence which
Kussia had always pursued. "
This was in line with similar concessions which
Mr. titone had secured from other foreign countries,
- and it is safe to say that few Americans hate the run
of as many courts as he. J
All told, the royal conquests have not- been unduly
difficult. Many an aspiring American at heme has gon
to far greater pains and spent big sums on long cam
paigns with far less success than has been o'taina
without effort by Maxlne Elliott and others abroad.

who is at tne head of uie worjt for the prtaervatlo
of the White mountain forests, shows that the paper
making and pulp business alone amounts yearly t
more than $73,000,000, having increased about out
third from 1900 to 103. In the former year the ou'

Then there 1 th lumber trade, whkh In 1907
amounted in value to $8,300,000 for . raw material
worth, when placed on the market in boards, no Km
than $23,000,000. In New Hampshire alone th hold

Aside from the lumber business, the mountain
streams form great arteries of trade.
