Twenty-hve ywats ago the bells rang forth the news that the direct sixes -salon 'o :be British lbtme was 'ensured by the birth .of a little prince. 'rhe great -grandame of Queen Victoria were already num- erous, but none were *ngliab; and of all, perhaps the greaten destiny lay before this swell babe. Until his birth it •tensed possible that the Geode of Britain might cocoa more be oeeupted by a woman; ter falling the birth of a son to our present King, the Pr,incpBP Royal and then Princess Arthur of Connaught, a< that time Lady Alexandra Duff, would succeed. In spite of the good reign of Queen Victoria. ber sublects re- joiced with her iu the birth of a male heir, and with her watched with loving interest the growth of the future King -Emperor. Named after .the Prince of Wales •ad the King of Denmark, he was then given there of the patron seiats of the United Kingdoms, Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick Duvid. As David he has always Leen known by hue [nosily and inti- mate frieods. A curious coincidence that the name of our future King should also be borne by two of Brt- Win'x greatest men --Admiral Beatty and Mr. -'.loud George. Witb tars brothers and sister he lived • happy, secluded childhood, and when sent to Osborne as a meal cadet he was popular with all, aot on account of his position, but as • natural, jolty, and kind-hearted boy. A great favorite of King Edward, the King's death was a very real sor- row to his young grandson, who after a short crui.te at :hit had to abandon his sailor's career :o learn the ways of men, and study at Oxford the his- tory and the law and the politics that were to help him in the yea:ei to cows.. Hunting and golf and row- ing were, not f.rgottee either, and friendships were being made with other underg}aduates. Imploring his tither that be might stay lunger at Oxford, sanc- tion was hardly given when the greet world war broke. over Europe, and In a few days, whole the fate of many lands and peoples lay is the balance, Britain found herself at war. The prince was "ne of the first to "Join up." and personally Implored Lord Kitchener to seed him out with the Expeditionary Force; but even King's sena ,must learn, and iso most as his training was complete, he was Sent overseas to fight his country's ties.

"What Is the origia of the Prince of Wales' feathers?" asked young hopeful. "Never heard of them," answered one member of the family. "Something to do with the Battle of Crecy, 1 think." chlmed In father. I. Of course the most natural thing to do was to Ipok It uy and And out what the authoritlea had to nay *bout the matter. The authorities seem to differ slithtly . In their theories. The three ostrich plumes are the badge of the Heir Apparent to the throne of England. The ostrich feathers must not be contused with the Coat of Arms of the Prince V'k ' Wales which is an entirely different insignia altogether The popular belief is that the ostrich feathers were won from Philip of Valois at the Battle of Crecy when the black Prince so gallantly served his father Edward 111 and his country by defeating the French. An authority on heraldry, Charles Boutell, maintains that there is no foundation 'or the belief that the Lfeatbers were won from King Philip of Valois. The theory. he says, is not supported by any contemporary. The first time the feathers are men- tioned In any record is in a docu- ment which was dated A.A. 1369, The Battle of Crecy was fought In A.D. 1316. In 1319 the three feathers were grouped together by Arthur Tudor, Prince of Wales, eldest son of Henry VII. The plumes appear to nave been eeclrcled.for the first time with a coronet by Prince Edward --who afterwards became King Edward VI, but ,who never really was Prince of Wales. Edward la used.the ostrich feath- ers as a badge with his shield of arms, and the feathers were also used by Queen Phrllipia, his wife, as a heraldic device in 1370. The ostrich feathers appear on some, but not on all seals of the Black Prince and were omitted from some . PRINCE OF VWA&.iid. CREST. of hes seals after tbe Battle of Crecy. The feetbera were also used by all. the other sons of Edward 111.. but each with some alight difference. In his will the Black Piffle* ex- pressed a wish that two armorial shields Dearing the insignia of the feathers with the scroll and motto "Ieb Dien," 1 serve, should be dis- played in the procession immediately preceding his remains, "Una pour 1a guerre de nos armee enterer auaztelles," and the other for peace. "et Padre poor la pais de nos loges dee plunges d'oslrice." He further appointed in his will fat his Chapel in Canterbury Cathedsei should be adorned do various llades with his Coat of Arse and likewise with tbe badge of Ostrich Feathers. Aa old English poem written try Alyn makes reference to the ostrich feathers in thew lines: 'There lay the trophie of our ehtvalry Plumed al his ostridee feathers, which the prinee Tooke as the ensign of his victory. Which he did after wteare and over since The Prince of Waits doth that achievement ireare Which I:dwa-d Brat did via by ems - quest there." Randle Holtne, another autheitIy, deduces the three ostrich feathers trent a totally different source. He asserts that they were the insignia of the Prince of \Vales during the independence of Wales prior to the invasion of the Er.glisb. Atter thug event the eldest acne of the Klass a England as Princes of Wales otls- tlnu.d the badge e•slgesd with a coronet with the motto "kb Dew' to express the sentiment that al- though of paramount dignity in that country they still owed allegiance ti the crown of England. Richard 11 -'adopted the ostrich feathers and they were placed on either side of his crested hale da tba heraldic sculpture of Westminster Hall. They were also placed en hie Royal Seal and were habitually used for decoration and heraldic display. Richard 11 '►Iso granted them as a mark of especial favor to be borne as an augmentation of the highest honor to bis cousin. Thomas Mow- bray. Duke of Norfolk. Henry Stuart, .driest son of James I established the arrangement of the three ostrich feathers within a prince's coronet in place of the scroll. Ostrich feathers were also worn as a badge by all the scam of Henry IV, and by the Beautorts, and were held In high esteem by both the rival house of Tort and Lancaster. it Is aha) recorded that -the white ostrich feather with its pen golden is the King's; with the feathers en- tirely white, or silver, Is the prince's; the feathers golden with its pen ermine is the Duke of Lan- caster's, and the feather white hav- ing Its pen Company is the Duke of Soinerlet's.
