THE LONELY PLEATED
CHILD
COMFORT FOUND IN IMAGINATION
The so-called untruthful child was defended by Dr, Jane Haw- thorne at the New Health Society Summer School at Malvern, She said that the child who was often punished for being untruthful was probably merely a particular-: ly imaginative child.
Dr. Hawthorne said that she re- membered the case of a five-year- old child whose mother one day found that a gold watch which she had left on her dressing-table hnd disappeared. Everybody was sum- moned to find the watch, and the place was temporarily in tur moil. The five-year-old boy enjoyed this, as he was escaping from lessons in the nursery. When the watch could not be found the ex- citement died down a little, The bey then went to his mother and safd, in a tragle and nathetic voice, "I am very sorry, Mummie: I took the watch."
His mother was horrified and said, "Darling, why did you tell me alle? Why didn't you tell me before you had taken the watch ?" He wa asked what he had done with it, and said, "It was sech n nice watch; so very much like my own to watch. I took it into the bathroom because I thought 1 would like to see what it looked Jike in water, and 1 put it in the bath."

KING GEORGE'S MAIL
LETTERS BY THE THOUSAND
SOME QUAINT MISSIVES
Many a Hollywood film star would like as largo a daily mail as King George V.
Huge bage, containing thousands of letters, are dumped at the post offico Inside Buckingham Palaco every morning. It would take the King over a week to answer just one morning's delivery.
As a matter of fact, however, the King seldom sees any of them. He has six private secretarios, headed by Sir Clive Wigram, and all of them are kept busy.
Although most of the letters sent to the King are sincere, there are always some from cranks and tricksters. So there ia un inviol- nble rule that any requests for charity must first be Investigated by Scotland Yard. Nevertheless,

QUAINT ADVICE,
Some of the most curious letters ever put in a mail-box were received during the King's illness in 1928. One old Lancashire woman wrote an ungrammatical, badly-spelled effort on a sugar bag. It ran: "A'm rect sorry to hear of your Ir being poorly, your majestie. you ruh your chest with the mixture hear given, a think you'll be alrest".
A year or two after the accession of the King a letter was received nt Buckingham Paluce containing a cheque for £25,000, payable to the (King. The writer stated that he
