There is a story, never contradict-

Duke of Clarence, eldest son of Icing

could have preferred the -+ldar to the

WIVPuh WIPB No NATION,
If an Englishwoman Marries an
American, What Is She?
The other day, because a British
child was born in a foreign port on
a foreign ship, it was suggested that
its British citizenship was endanger-
ed. This was wrong, of course, for
every child born of British parents is
British, and the place of its birth
makes no difference whatever.
But now and again a British wo-
man finds herself in a very queer
position_
Suppose a British women marries
an American, What nationality is
she? The general rule is that a wife
assumes the nationality 00 her hus-
band. In British law a British wo-
man married to a foreigner is no
longer British.
But In American law a foreign wo-
man does not become an American
citizen by marrying an American.
Hence the queer anomaly—a woman
without nationality! says Answers.
It is only when a foreign woman,
married to an American, elects to
become an American subject that she
becomes a citizen. Lentil then she
is considered to remain what she was
before marriage.
The law In France, Belgium, and
a
' e hr1-
Italy t. different from at 1 of 13
lain. Women of those three coun-
tries marrying foreigners only lose
their own nationality if they marry a
maxi whose country's laws mate all
foreden wives national. Thus, a
31'renohwoman married to a British-
er would be deemed British.
A Bill will shortly cons, h"•fore the
British Parliament to change the law,
By that proposed change women will
be given the right to retain their
Ilritish nationality after marrlage to
't foreigner, and will only cease to be
British on renouncing their national-
ity of their own free will.

The Prince and the Peonies ;
His Gift to Canadian Cities
The following direction .for the
planting o' the peony roots being
sent to all Canadian rides and towns
by H. R. H. the Prince of Wales ns
souvenirs of his visit to Canada, will
be found useful The roots are being
distributed by the Bank of Montreal.
Plant in well -drained, sunny posi-
tion, tory time before ground freezes
up,
Any good garden soil that will
grow corn will grow peonies. They
will no'c thrive in wet or shandy places.
Donot put manure next to the
roots and do not plant where peonies
grew before, unless the soil depth of
one foot and a diameter of three fees
is removed and replaced with fresh
s011.
For ideal permanent planting dig a
hole two feet deep and three feet in
diameter. Put in six inches of cin-
ders and broken stone can brick for
drainage, then fill in with one foot
of olcl rotten manure (cow dung prr,-
ferred), finish the bed with one foot
of good garden soil. This loaves a

Plant the roots in this top layer of

three inches below the finished eur-
face of the bed, and pack the ground
fairly firm around them.

Piling' manure over the plants and
stents has been blamed for causing tt
dieease in the peony, practically the
only disease worth mentioning. This
disease does not kill the plant, but
prevents it from flowering, so if
manure is used keep it well away
frons the stems.
The peony is known among 9111033
as 11 gross feeder and provided 1s
strong food is played within reach,
where it can take it or leave - it as
required, is attains its greatest per-
fection when well-fed. This is the
reason for placing manure at the
bottom of bed when planting in 0.
permanent location. Peonies planted
over 50 years ago in beds so prepared
are still flourishing and flowering
