Prince's reason for disposing 01 it others
again sue of the opinion that the recent con-
fluteration which destroyed a portion of the
bnilding, together with considerable of the
Duke of Clarenee's peraonal belongings and
that Prince's death, so soon after, have
turned. the Prince of Wales against it.
Saudruigharn was the wedding -present to
Albert Edward front hia father. One million
dollars was paid for it, and since that time
the Prince has spent at least a couple of
million dollars in its improvement. The
estate contains a little over 8,000 acres,
about one-third of which is made up of ex-
cellent game coverts, It would not be
strange if some American of wealth would
purchase Sandringham, malarin, and all.
The royal assochttions will certainly be at-
tractive bait, and, in addition, the Prince is
so anxious to rid himself of 141 41>10,11 it is as.

Long jackets have undoubtedly come to

people who are buying or making shorter
jackets are making a carious tubelike. The
long jacket is a garment, for the season, and
for seasene to come, The theory that only
women with tall and graceful figures can
wear long jackets is a fallacy ; the fact is
that a very short person even ca,n wear them
