Iiis,one gathers, ovist• provide 'alaterlal 'for the iconoclasts. One of bio' a Best references to the Queen as a c ti!d is as follows, ,`The child herti$1f4extresnely fat, bore a semarkable-resefnbkinee to her grand- father:She ia'the image of the dead King;' she is' King George in petti- coats!' exclaimed the ladies of the court. The future Queen's childhood was passed. in circumstances almost of penury, and the body of her father the Duke of Rent, was actually pre- vented, because of the debts,' from being removed front Sidmouth, where he died, to London for burial.' The little princes§ as soon as she could understand -,anything unsierstuod her von importnce and the great destiny that might sonic day await her. One day when she was playing with Lady June Ellice, in Kensington Gardens, and her little friend began to snake free with 'her toys, she said 'You must not touch those. They are mine: -And I may call you Jane but you must call me Victoria.' ' It is the fashion to call every mar- c cage contracted by royalty "a true love match" no matter if the diploe ncalic implications of it are flagrant. Bet with Que•eu Victoria and the Prince Copsort there is nut the slighest d6ubt that they loved each other tenderly. haven after she had rurrcndered her heart to the hand- senue prince it was with difficulty that her advisers persuaded her to con- sent to the marriage, so tenacious was she of her rights as a monarch. Eventually, as she confessed, she could no longer resist 'the exquisite nose, delicate moustache and very slight whiskers, the beautiful figure with broad shoulder, and line waist" Deeply as she loved him, she could not refrain upon ea'cnsion from re- minding him that he was merely her cxas;n't, and that his position was not comparable with her own. In wrath one day the prince die•ke-d himself in Isis room and :h,• Queen no less furl• ous, knocked upon rho dour to be ad- u.itteei. "Who is there?" he asked. "The Queen of England," was the re - pip. But he did net open and the ,acne dialogue was repeated a dozen times. Then there ctulle a gentler hocking, and 'o the question the an- swer "Your ',fife, A.Ibert," and she was admitted. Consort though Prince Cons a man "f lofty character 05;11 not popular i❑ the British Court. He was consid- ered too straight-laced and doctrine a1 re. He und,•rmMed his health by vis incessant and fruitless work upon all sorts Of State subjects.. He turn- ed out a ceae-lies stream of menulr- ;.nda for the guidance of the Govern- ment but though they were always respectfully read, they were never :acted upon. Before he contrated the chill that developed into typhoid fever and caused his death he had been looking worn out. Says the authur: "There was something of the butler about him, a portly flabby figure." Mr. Strachey says that the little Prince of Ws1eg rebelled against the strictness of his father, and. adds: "The 'mere lessons Bertie had to do the less he did them." On his travels his father hold instructed him to keep a diary, but it proved extremely mea- gre, was always quite uninfluenced by his father's lectures and injunc- tions. But the Prince Consort was ador- ed by the Queen. The happiest days of her life were spent at Balmoral with him on a sort of prolonged and renewed honeymoon. The Scotch castle had been built and decorated according to their own taste. The Prince designed the Balmoral tartan and when he dressed in it the Queen's admiration was greater than ever. When he died, Victoria was broken -hearted. Thereafter "every bed in which she slept had ®trached to its right hand side above the pillow the photograph of his head and shoulders taken when he lay dead, surrounded by wreaths of immor telles." Moreover for forty years the suite of rooms he had occupied was kept closed, but every evening his clothing was laid out afresh on the bed and water, placed in the basin as though he might appear any mo- ment. In those days, it is curious to note, the Royal castles were not sup- plied with running water, and in con- sequence housemaid's knee was ex- tremely prevalent. ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN More than 100 women serve in na- tional parliaments throughout the world. There are mire statues of Queen Victoria in existence than of any other woman in the world. Women are allowed to sit on juries in civil and criminal cases in 3lichi gars. In the famine districts of China parents aro selling their daughters for $1011 each. Thu United textile workers of A- merica have lust about 25 per cent. u1 their women members. Tho first woman's club in the United `'lutes was founded in Bnstun by Arms Hutchinson in 1638.

According to the internal revenue bureau, women consumed about 20, 0510,0,'0 cigarettes in the United States during 1920. The American Association of Tokio has decided to admit women as mem- bers on the sante terms with the men. In Australia, woolen have been ad- mitted for the first time as associates of the Royal Victorian Institute of .architects in Sydney. For the first time in the history of New Jersey 32 women were empanell- ed for two juries in East Orange re- cently. Mere than 270 different societies throughout the British Empire sent Queen Alexandra congratulatory mes- sages on her 76th birthday, The grand lodge of Free Masons in England 'has refused to sanction the decision of some of the subordinate lodges to admit women to their mem bership. The first woman who has ever been honored with a vice-presidency in the National Underwriters' Association is Mrs. Florence E. Shaal of, Boston. Nine out of every ten prospective brides who have applied for a license to wed in Boston in recent years were past 30 years of age. Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, wife of Vice - President Coolidge, has been made a life member of the Massachussets society, Daughters of the Revolution. Canadian college women are asking 'universities in Canada to establish employment departments as a point of contact with employer and employee. Mrs. Lilian F. Fitch is making an extensive study and 'investigation of woolen's schools throughout the world for the bureau of education of the de- partment of the interior. Miss Annie R. Maxwell, of Boston, appointed second deputy. state auditor, is the first woman in Massachusetts to receive appointment to such a `posi- tion, which carries a salary of $3,000. Madame Devourge, in charge of the Normal school at Grignon, France, is now in this country with a view of studying the home demonstration works conducted by the United States depart- ment of agriculture. Miss Margaret Ridgely, socially prominent in Baltimore, and for the last sixteen -years a missionary in Liberia, has returned to her home to recuperate from an illness received in the far off country.

If site had been .a girl who took things hard, she. might- have taken her father very hard indeed, But opinions and feelings being solely a matter of points of view, she was very fond of him, and, regarding him as a sacred charge and duty, took care of him as though she had been a reverentially inclined mother taking care of a boisterous son. When his roar was heard, her calm little voice always fell quietly on in- dignant ears the moment it ceased. 11was her part in life to act as a paliative: her mother, whose well- trained attitude toward the ruling domestic male was of the early Victorian order, had lived and died Mel .never nicer, little 'existed.

She was of the class which used to call its husband by a respectful surname.

Little Ann had never forgotten a detail, and had even improved upon some of thein, as she happened to be cleverer than her mother, and. bad, indeed, a far-seeing and clear young mind of her own. She had been Ball- ed "Little Ann" all her life.

' BSAAFORTH (IUEEN VICTORIA'S UNBIASSED CHRONICLER. It was not until several yetis af- ter the death of Queen Victoria that the legend which " had been slowly built up about her for more than half a century began to wear thin and let the human nature show through. To her contemporaries she was the es- sence of goodness and of wisdom. She still is to people of the present day, but her idea of the sovereign's part in the constitution is not held to in the practice of her successors on the throne. Memoirs published since her death, have Fhown her consulting with Disraeli, when the people of England had declared that Gladstone should be her chief adviser. Neither her son, King Eddrard, nor her grand- son, King George, would feel warran- ted in taking such action.

Each of the shabby and'poverty- stricken- young men had of course fallen hopelessly in love with her at once. This was merely human and inevitable, but realizing in the course of a few weeks that she wits too busy taking care of her irritable, boisterous old Manchester father„and everybody else, to have time to be made love to even by young men who could buy nevi boots when the old ones had ceased to be water- tight, they were obliged to resign themselves to the, after all, comfort- ing fact that she became a mother to them, not a sister. She mended their socks and sewed buttons on for then) with a firm frankness which could not be persuaded into meaning anything more sentimental than a fined habit of repairing anything which needed it, and Which, while at first bewildering in its serenity, end- ed by reducing the two youths to a dust of devotion.

In the course of a week, more or less, Tembaron-es feeling fur her would have been exactly that of his two hall -bedroom neighbors, but that his nature, though a practical one, was not inclined to any supine de- gree of resignation. He was a sensi- ble youth, however, and gave no trouble. Even Joseph Hutohinson, who of course resented furiously any na hter which his d "nonsense" of h K and possession was,ythe object, be- came sufficiently mollified by his good spirits and ready good nature to re- frain from open conversational as- sault. "I don't mind that chap as much as 1 did at first," he admitted re- luctantly to Little Ann one evening after a good dinner and a comfortable pipe. "He'se net stitch a fool as be looks." - Tembarom was given, as Littjp Ann was, to seeing what people wanted. He knew when to pass the mustard and other straying condi- ments. He picked up things which dropped inconveniently, he did not interrupt the remarks of his elders and netters, and several times when he chanced to be in the hall, and saw Mr. Hutohinsun, in irritable, stout Englishman fashion, struggling into his overcoat, he sprang fqrward with a light, friendly air and -helped him. He did not clo it with obstentattous politeness or with the manner of ac- tive youth giving generous aid to elderly avoirdupois. He did it as though it occurred to him as a na- tural result of being on the spot. (Continued next week.) )L. _ :•=`E J.ERY W.H ER a� NA.
