THE DUKE'S BRIDE COMES FROM ROMANTIC STOCK
If it Is true that "All the World Loves a Lover," it is also true that a bride is an object of keen and sym-
pathetic affection, especially when she is a charming and natural young girl -whom fate has Chosen to dive id - a.
shadow of a great throne. Lady. Elizabeth Bowes -Lyon, who .consented to become the bride of the Duke of York
after he had proposed three times, ,comes ot an ancient Scottish family. They have occupied Glamis Castle for
over six hundred years, and are descended from the Stuart kings. Glamis castle has been the home of early Scot-
tish kings. Lady Elizabeth,' it is said, withheld her consent to marry Prince Albert because of her natural dislike
to the "formalities off Court life anil:the high associations.13.er marriage would bring her. She is a retiring young
woman, who loves the outdoors and all .outdoor activities. The Prince is an airman and previously was with the
navy, having served on Beatty'g ship at Jutland. His hobbies are associated with ;the social and industrla1 can-
ditions of England and their betterment. The picture shows Glaris Castle, and the parents of the young coupie

The Iu Letter.
In "the good soil. idays,".it is a inat,'
tea, of familiar remark, people' took
the time to write long and careful let-
ters. Even bus�inesa communications
were ceremonioas ' and deliberate,
Friends, 'separates] by days of more
or less, troublesome journeying, Dona -
milted to one 'long letter what 1.o.cla r
might be told, on.the installment plant,.
in many epistle,,, or even intrusted to
the wire. It is often declared that
letter -writing, like tit: nlanufaeture ,of
Cremona varnish ea cashmere shawls,
or certain dyes nor glazes, is a lost art.
Yet our postal routes carry' an in-
creasing burden of what passes for
written messages from human being
to one another. •
Letters are not like talk, They do
• hesitate. They are. not in searoh
of a word. Their language is gener-
ally mere formal than the language
of speech. They merely touch upon a
"high point" here andthere, whereas
if it were conversation 'there would be
more to say of matters which in the
lines on paper are merely •sketched
or
surnmarized,..-
Yet letters are definitely indicative'
of the personality • behind then.
One kind of letter gets under the
cuticle and creates' an irritation from..
the start. That was the intent of the
sender. There is a type of mind that
feels' the satisfaction of malice in)
dealing a wound. Cea}sure, sarcasm,
ridicule or complaint Is more iniprese,,
sive put in writing. But, as a master'
of letters used to point out, the cre-',
olive act of putting black marks on
white paper is a sacred thing, It haat
given us the world's great literatures
It is wrong to use such .a power to chs-
heai•teii .another human tieing need
messily,
Two amen, one of whom was the lath
Walter Page, promised each athee that'.
when they found a `book or a picture
or a play deserving of praise' they
would write an encouraging letter' to
the' creator of it. That was n good
plan. It gave the artiet, or.author,
the stimulus he wanted to do still 'bet-
ter 'work and thus extend and
inten-
sify an influence for good in count-
less lives.
A timely letter may supply dust the
lift one needs acrose'a: crucial place on
the way of life. It does not greatly
matte'r'what is said. It is not the art
of the rhetorician but the genuine
feeling in the words that makes 'the
difference. A letter from a child inay'..
he ill -spelled and the writing may be a
sprawls, but the sweet and earnest face
looks from the paper. The letter of
parent to child may be wanting illcae
most academic respect -s, but the love
behind the words is what truly"sign'i•
fres. Wmth a sympathetic imagination,
one .;cannot stand; in the •corridor of a
peat:office for a few minutes without
realizing a constant tragic drama, of
hope frustrated and - of mental'anguish,
due to the failure of an expected letter
to `arrive. Fortunately, the- many die -
appointments are offset iby the'•sail--
faction of hearing from those who,
near or far, are close be us in feeling,
The :letter es never a perfect,substi-
tue :fo r the`writer of a letter. Yet it
may in its silent•office a s a messenger
say the things that aro eomforting to
him who writes as wall as to him who
reads.

School districts in variou parte at
Canada are taking an- interest in the `
reforestation movement. It is; easy to
enlist the sympathies of the youth of
the country in tree planting. There is
pleasure in the mere act of putting
something into the ground .and watch-
ing it grow.
