That | fascination is a fact and may serve to explain a mortal enmity which ex. isted recently and probably still ex- ists between two well known London society leaders. To one of these ladies al ly respected admirer mentioned his in- tention to purchase a diamond-geck- | lace. Knowing that the lady possess- ed ofore than a superficial knowledge of the value of stones, he begged hér #0 select for him what he required. The price he was prepared to give was £1,500. The lady jumped to 'the conclusion: that such a request could have but one meaning---viz,, that she herself was to be the eventual recipient of the gift. She thereupon visited the jeweler's shop dnd inspected his stock, but at the price she was em- powered to give saw nothing that particularly took her fancy. A fascinating piece of workman- Ship, however, did attr#®t her, the Rice of which was 3,000 guineas. @ desire to possess it became irre- sistible. She arranged with the jeweler to send the necklace to the gentleman for whom she was acting and invoice it to him at the agreed upon price, while, she gave her own wsheck on the spot for the balance Then she went home and awaited the arrival of the gift. Some days passed, but there war no appearance of the necklace. A horrible doubt which assailed hes became a certainty a day or twe later, when she saw the identical necklace she had helped to pay for sparkling on the neck of a younger and more beautiful rival.--London Tatler. Tropical Islands Going Cheap, Among the Iatest arrivals in Lon- don is a man anxious to sell several West Indian islands above which floats the British flag. He is the landlord of five of the islands that g0 to form the famous Bahama group, the first glimpse of which, in 1492, get the lion-heart of Christopher Co- lumbus jumping at the thought that at last he had found the new world. Great Whale Island, the largest of the five, is six miles long, and boasts a plantation of cocoa-nut trees. London society may well buy is- lands, especially when they are cheaper than motor cars. For $4,000 you can purchase sovereignty, you can be monarch of all your survey. That is the price of which the islands, big and small, work out. With his wife and two children, the owner has lived and reigned in his domain for seven years. The plateau at the northern end of the island, 50 feet above sea level, he describes as a most healthy and pleasant dwell- ing place. In the phrases of the sur- urban house agent this Island king directs attention to the facet that "the views from our house have been de- scribed by visitors as the finest in the Bahamas." The islands can be had for $20,000 the lot. Shekespeare and Burns. In a lecture before the Royal In- stitute in Leadon Professor Arthur Keith, in an anthropological study, gave it as his 'opinion that Shake- speare was a descendant: of the bronze age Invaders, the true or round head people. This was - re- markable, fact, the professor added, tor it was this same short headed stock, spread abroad in central Eu- rope, throughout Germany, France and Italy, which has produced the world's finest artists. Burns, be 'sald, on the contrary, was a good representative of the long headed type of man. His skull was very broad and of excessive length and appearcd to bé closely sét to the neck. It represented an ancient type. An Ancient Hotel. Veéry shortly the George Hotel, Redding, Bag., more than 400 years old, will be sold by muction. The George was doing business in "the days when the Abbot of Reading was ole of the great men in the land, and it stands now in dignified repose In & busy street, not far from the gaunt ruins of the great abbey. High over its arched entrance, on a little shield, is the date of its foundation, 1506. Readitig was then a village of 2,000 inhabitants. The George belonged to the late Mr. Henry Neville, the actor, who was very proud of the old house, and took the liveliest interest in Ju management. Turning Lead Into Gold. ' Professor F.

Doughty, the candidate of the conservative party in Riverdale, and read to a meeting #h Armstrong's hall, Pape avenue, {0 consider the ad- visability of having a candidate no- nminated on the temperance issue to support the "abolish the Bar" policy. It. was read by R. H. J. Pasmore, who holds the document with Mr. Doughty's signature. Mr, Passmore drafted the statement, and it was signed by Mr. Doughty. Coming from a conservative candidate, in a con- servative riding, In a conservative city, it was sensational news to the meeting and those in the riding who heard of it. This episode of a con- servative candidate not only pledging himself to support the temperance policy of the liberals, but also two others of the foremost planks in their platform, is a thing unparalleled in Toronto politics, and with the other recent upheavals in the conservative ranks in Toronto and the province will greatly hearten the liberals and temperance forces in the present fight. In view of the undertaking of Mr. Doughty, the liberals of River- dale have deferred for the present their convention, which was to have been held on Thursday night. RUSSIA CAPTURES CUP.
