She has £600 a year in pocket moncy as well as a beautiful home. The dearest wish of the staff that nurtured her is that the secret of her humble origin sha'l never be known to a critical world. They are bound by a well-intentioned conspiracy of silence,

Years ago two tiny girls who had no parents or friends in the world were left in our care. One was older than the other and al- ways regarded herself as a little mother towards her baby sister.
"They were boarded put by us at institutions, and found to be charming and graceful children.

The Separation,
There was some sadness at first at the parting of the sisters, but the younger seemed so thoroughly happy with her fellow orphans in the home that the elder took the separation in good nart. She was shy at first in her novel surround ings, but soon became adapted to the new life into which she had entered.
"She was sent to a good school, and received every care and affcc- tion from her adopted parents. She made a large number of friends in her changed circumstances, and became indistinguishable from Ler well-born companions.
"Recently this lucky girl became A partial orphan for the second time. Her adopted mother died. In token of her affection for the kind ministration of her adopted daughter, she left the latter several thousands of pounds, from which our former inmate now drawe £300

The Andorrans now complain that the Spaniards are trying to the joint Franco monopolise Spanish postal administration of their territory. They have asked the help of the French to prevent the Spaniards getting complete control of the country's one and only post office, and they declare that they will boycott the Spanish post office and run the postal ser vice themselves, issuing a special set of Andorran stamps.
As so few people write letters in obliterated Andorran Andorra, stamps are expected to be so rare as to command a high price among stamp "collectors.
The French have promised to support the Andorrans.
