CHILDREN'S CORNER.

My dear Children,

Of course you all know about Lucy Lockett losing her pocket but I wonder if you have ever thought why it was that she found a ribbon round it and no peany in it?

In case you do not know, the story of "The Lost Pocket" I will tell you,

Your loving,

PETER PAN.

THE LOST POCKET.

You all know that.

.

"Lucy Lockett lost her pocket. Kitty Fisher found it. There was not a penny in it But a ribbon round it." Lucy Lockett had just had her fifth birthday. Her mother had made her a new piak frock to wear and as Lucy had asked specially to have a pocket she had machined a little one on to it.

Lucy's father had given ber a shining new penny (as well as a beautiful curly haired doll) and she had put the money carefully in her pocket with a hankie on the top of it so that she would be sure not to lose it.

But accidents will happen some times. That afternoon there was a party. Lots of children came in their best frocks and they had tea with hundreds of thousands" on the bread and butter and sugar cakes

LORD INCHCAFE'S PROTEST.

Lord Inchcape contributes to the current number of Sperling's Journal-a powerful article on "Our Export Trade and its Meaning," We, of all people, he says, can least afford to waste our resources and energies in squabbling among ourselves. He believes that a steady and comprehen- sive view of the British trade situa- tion as a whole and of the perils that follow from warfare between Capital and Labour, would effectively con- tribute to industrial peace. "Wo cannot go on like this, he continues. "A perpetuation of the stupidity that brought about the disaster of the coal, strike can only mean that in a very few years this country will lose her commercial and financial sup-

vernment's services in fighting nation remacy." While recognising the Go- alisation and in decontrolling industry, he is a strong critic of their present Besponses, Ferus Falais 68(Wood- fiscal programme which, in his judg
