WEALTH COMES TO HUMBLE PORTERS IN CLUBS, One Possesses Automobile and Others Retire to Live in Comfort on In. come Saved From Tips. - London, Dec. 28. Every hotel and club servant in London is turning cov- étous eyes upon the post of hall por ter at the Public Schools Club in Al bemarle street, as it has just come to light through a case in the law courts that the individual who has the dis tinction of supervising the loading and unloading of the baggage of the mem- bers of this exclusive elub keeps an automobile, a luxury which some of the members cannot afford: n The evidemce in the case ilfastrated the possibility of amassing wealth in a humble calling, Head porters and head waiters in London are unani- mous in asserting that they find it dif fieult to make both ends meet, but per- haps they mistrust the wily tax eol- lector and suspect the newspaper re- porters of being socret agents of the chancellor of the exchequer, as the fact remains that many eases of fortunes amassed from the generous tips of hotel visitors ave known in Bngland. The head porter at the old Hotel Continental, in Regent street, which was once a favorite after-theatre re- sort, is now living the life of a retired gentleman in Putney and drawing a Glee income from property in Fulham, We have heard, too, of the head por: ter at the Royal Hotel Danpieli, at Venice, who is credited with refusing 40,000 francs a year for his job. Busi ness was so brisk that this august per- {Ronage once bought himself a gorgeous livery, Tiberally studded with real gold buttons. At a university in Switzerland the son of the head porter is one of the professors, When Karl William Hein- vichs, head waiter at the Eibing, in Berlin, retired, in 1909, the event was tonsidered of European importance and the news was flashed over the wires SOME FAMED WAITERS| "OLD ENGLISH GEMS. - Worn as Slap 'at American's Flash v ing Germs. fashioned jewelry is now beng worn by sogiety women, including the ug. wide gold bracelets = and long, drop ear-rings of the early Victorian jer od, | Everywhere you go you vec cameos and cheap but attractive Sectch jewellery---cairngorms, andes and ;amethysta--has come into ite own again.

Whatever the reason may be, it is known that England's two queens Mary and Alexandra, are responsible for the revival of this old-fashioned jewellery craze. Queen Alexandra of- ter wedrs moss agate brooches and cameos, and Queen Mary has many pieces of Seateh jewellery which she eights in wearing, except on siate occasions. o "Take our advice," say the Kogent street dealers, "and don't let your wife or daughter sell the old brooches and earrings that came to them nd legacies.

Thirty-five years ago Bopnett was a hard working Ohio farmer hoy, He labored on the "home place" near Plimpton, Ohio, saved (as much money as he could, and got ready to marry the daughter of a neighboring farmer. This is the story t8ld by the half brother and by Mr. Austin, with whom Bonnett had held talks. FL The marriage never came, The girl's father looked on Bonnett and decided that his daughter could do better financially. A tentative engagement was-broken, and Bonnett left Plimpton the next day.

There was Collins, the great waiter of the upper smoking-room of the House of vommons, who died recently, regretted by every member of the house. Col lins was supposed to know more of what was happening than anybody in palitien. Everybody confided in him. Members used to discuss their future lines of policy with him, and Mr. Lioyd-George used to say that when: ever he wanted to know what the house was going to do. about any.par- ticular mtter he asked Collins. Then, there was Gustave, who used to fulfill a similar function to the lit- evary and artistic set at the old Cafe Griensteidi, in Vieuna. All the rising geniuses of the capital used to discuss their plans for their new books and plays with him, and in times of stress borrowed money from him. In Vienna, too, the hall porter at the imperial was a national figure and a personal friend of the mperor of Austria. His breast was covered with decorations, and when he died, after thirty years' service in the door- way, he left $300,000 to his family. There have been several cases where persons sending for the pro- printoe of their hotel have discovered him in the head waiter or the hall porter; and we know that the ambi tion of sl the waiters who swarm in- to England is ultimately to own a reitauvant of their own. There is ove notable little redtaurant in Soho whose proprietor worked here a gemeration ago as an assistant waiter, but he is now mayor of his native town in Italy. In Vienna, again, 'the volows of an- other head waiter are among the most prominent on the raging field, and the head "boots" of a famous hotel in the Trossachs . is said 'to have amassed $85,000 in five years.

Henry Kolker has been engaged for the leading role of "The Greyhound," the * new melodrama by Paul Arm- strong and Wilson Mizner. Three of the four acts of the piece occur on an Atlantic steamship, and there are three scenes in one of the acts. "The Grey- hound" will be produced in five weeks. George Bernard Shaw has at last consented to allow one of his plays to be done in the London music halls. This is the last word in the wag of legitimate concessions to vaudeville. It is probable that "How He Lied to Her Husband' will be the play. Oscar Hammerstein has been grant- ed a lord chamberlain's license for the production of Massenet's opera, "Herodiade," in its uncensored form in London, When it was produced at Covent Garded in 1904 was mercilessly blue pencilled by. the ceu- sor, and as a consequence there was much speculation as to the outcome when My.

The perplexed hus- band, acting under the advice of =a married sister, makes a pretence of conversion to women's enfranchise- ment and infroduces into the house an impressionable ally, who excites the wile's suspicion and. jealousy. Williom II of Germany has turned his back oh the drama, announcing that in future no dramatic production will be financed by a Hohenzollern. He goes beyond this and declares that no member . of the imperial family shall hereafter be officially associated with the stage. This attitude, in the opinion of the Westminster Gazette, London, is based on the fact that the emperor believes fhe drama will be "a serious enemy to sociely and the state," especially as the 'erman trama is the most keenly intellectual in Europe, and opens its doors "to any real thinker anxious to employ it as an effective vehj for the dis- temination of his ideas." The same wri ter 'thinks the kaiser is foolish in his declarations, and, that he ought to capture the theatre, i ix ventions--municipal, royal l.s pevial--within the empire. rn Notes From Selby.
