MILESTONE IN LIFE OFF ]PRINCE
OF WALES
The Prince of Wales has led an
active, t'pacious and busy Tife frolls
ads oar"est yeees, but there have been
certain dpys in his career more mem-
orable thin others, and which may
fairly besaid to be milestones in his
life.
To start with, there was the day
that he was formally created Prince
of Wales by the King. That was on
June 23, 1910. It was the first great
ceremony in which his royal .highness
shad taken part, and he was the chief
{figure in it; a very trying ordeal for
a boy of fifteen who was naturally of
a. shy and retiring disposition.
After the ceremony the prince ad-
dressed the great assembly in Welsh.
This was the first occasion on which
a Prince of Wales had ever addressed
gathering of the Welsh people in
!their own tongue.
Ellis royal highness was personally
rsoacbed in Welsh by Mr. Lloyd George
for this great occasion, and the fluent
ease with which the prince delivered
the address reflects credit both on
the royal pupil and his instructor.
It is worth while quoting the words
of the ancient homage which the
prince, as he knelt, repeated to his
father:
"I, Edward Pnince of Wales, do be-
come your liege man of life and limb,
and of earthly worship and faith and
truth I will bear unto you to live and
die against all manner of folk."
And then the prince, wearing the
'!bang crimson and ermine mantle, the
coronet, ring and sword, rose from
Chia knees ,Prince of Wales.
The next big day in the life of the
!prince came in October, 1913, when
he entered Oxford university as an
ordinary commoner. This day is a
distinct milestone in the life of the
prince. No prince had ever entered
the university before as a commoner,
and it was not without a great deal
of thoaght and. perhaps some misgiv-
ings that the King decided to allow
the heir to the throne to do so.

thh pr'ince's mellow undergraduates ad
xxuit`tedl to be a complete success. Th
pr'i'nce proved then, as he has prov
ed many ttroe since, that -,-to pars.
phrase I£'iplin "he could walk wi
men nor lose the )singly touch.9'
One year after his royal hi�ghn
entered Oxford the war bad brok
out, and then came what, to
Prince of Wales,, is perhaps the most
memorable dray of his life. Direct!
weir was declared the prinee left Ox
ford and offered his services, as tho
sande of other young men did, to hi
errantry. On August 7, 1914, he wa
gazetted a second lieutenant of th
grenadier Guam, and joined the 1st
battalion of that regiment.
Like other newly -joined officers, h
i strenuously engaged' in fittin
himself for service at the front. H
took part .in lengthy route marches
and all the .service drill that was
prepare young officers for service i
France.
Five weeks after the prince had
joined his battalion it was ordered to
France, and then came a bad blow
for his royal highness—Lord Kitch-
ener would not allow him to go on
active service. Twice the young
prince went to the then secretary of
state for war to ask him to recon
s�ider his decision.
The story of one of the interviews
has been told by Sir George Arthur.
"What does it matter if I am shot?
asked the prince. "I have four bro-
thers."
Lord Kitchener's reply was grimly
candid. a
"If I was certain you would be
shot, I do not know that I should be
right to refuse you, but I am not cer-
tain, and in the present state of our
lines I cannot run the risk, which ex-
ists, of the enemy securing•you as a
prisaner."
But at length—long length indeed
it seemed to the prince—he was
granted permission to join the head-
quarters staff in Fraiice. The per-
mission reached the prince on Novem-
her 12, 1914; on the 17th he 'left Eng-
land, and that day may certainly be
counted one of the most memorable
and biggest in his life. It saw the
heir to the throne going to serve his
country as an ordinary second lieu-
tenant in a Guards regiment. Once
at headquarters the prince knew it
would not be long'before he would be
allowed to share the dangers and
hardships of his own battalion in the
trenches.
After the war was over the prince
began to undertake his' great world
tour. There is no need to dwell here
on how ably the prince, during those
tours, filled the role of Britain's roy-
al ambassador. But the day on which
his royal highness first 'visited Wash-
ington must certainly be mentioned
specially.
It was one of the most trying or-
deals the prince had faced. On No-
vember 10, 1919, he first stood on
American roil. On the following day,
the first anniversary of the singing of
the Armistice, he entered Washing
ton.
A little explanation is probably
needed in order that the reader may
fully understand what a difficult or-
deal that was for the prince, who was
then only twenty-four.
This visit to the United States,
made during the prince's first Canad-
ian tour had nbt been decided on
without a good deal of anxious

thought on the part of the King, the
British gorvernament, and the prince
himself.
It was the first time that a Prince
of Wake, as suoh, had visited the
United States. King Edward visited
it as Baron Renfrew. The prince's
visit therefore became an extremely
formal and official one. -
A wrong - word or even questions
might spoil the whole success of the
visit, and make it one that had bete
ter not have been undertaken.
In all undertakings of this kind
first impressions count for a great
deal. What would be the impression
that the prince would create as he
stepped from his special train to be
greeted by cabinet ministers and the
high officials of the United States
government on the platform at Wash-
ington? .
It was perhaps the most critical
moment of the prince's life, but the
qualities that have carried him so suc-
cessfully through many ordeals of
this kind sustained him. His modesty
and perfect naturalness of manner as
he shook hands with and: chatted to
the group on the platform at once
won him the goodwill of America.
His royal highness that day achiev-
what perhaps was the greatest tri-
umph of his public career.

PARROTS PAY WAY AS GUESTS
OF ZOO
Visitors to the London, England,
zoo are often puzzled by the word
"deposited" which appears on the
cards describing certain animals.
These are the paying guests of the
Zoological Society. There are fewer
of them now than there used to be,
but they still number hundreds. Over
100 of the 3,000 birds are lodgers.
Some time ago a mate for the pig-
my hippopotamus Diana, was offered
to the zoo for £500. Before accept-
ing the offer it was decided to discover
whether the newcomer would for a
month bear the climate . . . and
Diana! He did.
Delicate animals are frequently left
"on approval" for six weeks or so by
dealers before the zoo will purchase.
There are even a few on sale to the
public, though the London zoo dis-
courages this.
As a rule the lodgers are beasts or
birds of distinction, belonging to own-
ers particularly interested in some
rare variety. Almost the whole range
of cassowaries—black members of the
ostrich family, with sleek, fur -like
plumage, which come, by the way,
from Australia, not from "the plains
of Timbuctoo"—are on, loan from
Lord Rothschild.
The most handsome and ferocious
of the race of parrots, the rare Hy-
acinthine Macaw, is also a lodger, and
another is the Echidna, a long -nosed
ant -eater with porcupine quills. Such
visitors the zoo welcomes, and is
ready to house free.
Only for the famous Johnny Goril-
la has actual payment been made for
a loan. He lived in Sloane St., where
he always spent the night, comm to
the zoo certain days for tea. at
he liked best, however, was his coun-
try house in a remote Gloucestershire
village, where he used to play with
the children on the village green and
regularly accompanied his "aunt" out
to miealsl
Owners of rare creatures back from
the tropics are sometimes allowed to
keep them in the zoo until a suitable
home is built. Often such a visit ends
in the animal being presented; at
other times it drags ons indefinitely.
A hawk -headed parrot has just cele-
brated the twenty-first yr of his
visit!
LENTEN CROQUETTES ADD
Cl1$Ai8M TO FIIEAL
Here are some helpful Lenten sug-
gestions.
As a food, the oyster is one of the
greatest delicacies obtained from the
sea. It is easily digested, nutritious
and wholesome and is rich in ei'eo'ents
important in the diet. Oysters are
rich in iodine, and for this reason arc-
recommended
rcrecommended for frequent use in the
diet of young people living in dist-
tricts where disorders of the thyroid
gland. are common.
Oyster stew is unexcelled as a
nourishing cold weather dish. The
oysters and milk, together with the
butter used supply all the elements
for a complete meal.

Old Fashioned Scalloped Oysters.
Prepare a quart of oysters, reserv-
ing all the liquor; put a layer on the
crumb covered bottom of a very lib-
erally buttered glass baking dish,
sprinkled freely with salt and pepper
and dots of butter, with a few grains
of. mace. Add a scanty layer of dic-
ed cooked celery, and repeat until the
dish is full, with crumbs and liberal
dots of butter ,en top. Pour the liq-
uor over, with about 1-4 cupful of
hot top milk or cream mixed with 2
tablespoonfuls of sherry. Bake in a
quick oven about 400 deg. F. until the
top is delicately browned.
Baked Oysters.
Chop in a bowl with a chopping
knife 30 oysters, 1 onion, 2 hard -
cooked eggs and season with ea tea-
spoonful pepper, salt to taste, a
small pineh of cayenne, and a spoon-
ful of kitchen bouquet. Add enough
soft bread crumbs to absorb excess
of moisture, add 2 tablespoonfuls
melted butter, and mix well with the
other ingredients. Fill into buttered
custard cups and bake in a hot oven
until heated through. Garnish each
before serving with a small spoonful
of chopped pickles. This should be
enough for from six to eight custard
cups.
NUTS AND WINE
"What can equal the joys of ski-ing
amid the snows of Switzerland?" asks
a writer. Has he ever stepped on a
small mat on a polished floor?
Thieves recently entered a country
house and stole all the books from
the library. They were at least hon-
est about it, and did not, like some
people we know, ask if they might
just borrow them.
"I hear that Mr. H. C. Morphett,
the president of the Dark BIues Boat
Club, will himself stroke the Oxford
boat this year."
"How sweet to think of them mak-
ing such pets of their boats!" gurgled
my flapper friend when she read •the
above news item.—The Graphic, Lon-
don.
At a fancy dress dancer's grimace,
Said ,his partner, "Your mask's a dis-
grace!"
Said he, in derision,
"What's wrong with your 'vision?
That isn't a mask, it's my face!"
I saw the trim and rosy maid
When she began to skate,
The while, with swift and graceful
glides,
She cut the figure 8.
I fell in love right there and then,
As Cupid's victims do,
And felt convinced that we, were meant
To cut the figure 2.
I wooed and won the lovely girl,
So frequently I sought,
And ever since that glad event
I've• cut the figure 0.
"Do you believe poor people are
the happiest?"
"Yes."
"Then we're going to be tremen-

"I do so many good turns I get

Their meeting, it was sudden;
Their meeting, it was sad;
She gave her sweet young life,
Most gracious thing she had.
She sleeps beneath the willows,
In peace she's resting now;
There's always something doing,
When a freight train meets' a cow.
"Slang," says a well known author,
"is almost a foreign language." If
so, it is about the only foreign tongue
our "bright young things" know any-
thing about.
A professor says that a great many

Sandy on a visit to London, was
prevailed upon by bis English host
to have a Turkish bath.
The attendant was a veritable San-
dow, and when Sandy was placed on
the slab he was punched and pum-
melled and thudded in such a way as
almost to taus the breath from him.
The climax came when he was ruth-
lessly rolled over and given three
tremendous wallops on a teudnr part
of his anatomy.
With a shriek he jumped off rile
slab and angrily demanded to know
what was meant by this outrage.
