Royal Visit

As a wag remarked, when Siam is mentioned, one thinks of twins. Two Siamese natives, legally joined together, arrived in the U. S. They were Prince Prajatipok, second brother of King Rama VI of Siam* and his wife.

The royal couple spoke English perfectly (the Prince was educated at Eton and Oxford) ; and said they intended to visit Boston, Chicago and other places en route to San Francisco, where they are to embark for Japan, thence home. "Home is always a good place to get back to," remarked the Princess.

*The Siamese call their country Muang-Thai, which means "country of the free." The system of government is based largely upon that of Britain. Siam lies to the south of China and to the east of India. Its area is 200,148 sq. mi--about four times the size of Pennsylvania.
