It is important therefore connected with the Court.

King Edward's political views are fected in a conversation Sir Almeric had with Lord Balfour of Burleigh -

An excess of niksli in soap and very hot water will destroy the fat and exuso harshness of wool and shrinkage of material, and so it is the aim in washing to preserve this softness by supplying ad ditional fat. The rinsing should be done in a clean soapy, lasher, and in a second rinsing use still a very little soap lather. The garment can then be passed through the wringer to remove as much moisture as possible, well baken to raise up the fluffy surface, and finally hung out to dry.

The drying process is important if you are to retain the correct shape of the gar ment, whether 'jamper, sweater,' or 'skirt..

The discussion started on, the Motor Bill, is connection with which the King said, You must tax them I am all in favour of taxing the rich on which Ritobie said; You Majesty does not approve taxing the food of the poor "No,"replied the King, and I do not care who knows it On which the Duke (of Devonshire) turned to Lord Balfour and said "We must really get this man on the stumpt":

A-WARSHIP'S "NAME"

mot

Hers is a story about King George's resolve pot to allow one of his battle ships to possess a revolutionary name.

The King has found arm foothold from which to administer a. rebuff to a self-willed 3inister. It was proposed to give one of the new battleships the name of Oliver Cromwell, and, al though Winston Churchill devoted him- self to arguing the point at great length, his Majesty was obdurate, and the Pro- tector will not appear in the muster- roll of naval fame.

The King's objection was perhaps satural enough, even if such prejudices have little actuality to many at the present day. but EMS. Oliver Cromwell would have read songwhat strangely, and it is bet ter avoided.

The present King's attitude to polit cians and bis Ministers is clearly ex plained:

The King's perfect.constitutional pro- priety has never been in question: if Lari "Lansdowne and Mr. Bonar Law have sought to draw him, they met with no encouragement for the doctrines put forward by certain Unionist publicists. On the other hand, it would be equally wrong to assume that he takes his orders from the Prime Minister. An in cident that attended the close of yesterday's Cabinet is not without instruction on this point. As they were about to disperse, Harcourt said he was going to have a tooth out, upon which Asquith remarked that he was in a similar plight, for he was going to see the King

THE KING AND MR. BRYAN.

A very indiscreet story is that which relates to the King's fear in 1912 lest the Inte Mr. Bryan should be appointed to England as Ambassador of the United States.

The finishing touches can be supplied with a warm iron, and after a thorough airing the tennis kit is again presentable for the courts.

If hyny chance green grass marka should have stained for fannel and are not removed after washing, steep them in a little Sanitas for a few minutes, when the stain will quickly disappear.

NORE LIGHTSHIP MOVED.

AFTER 103 YEARS.

The Nore Lightship, which provided the first light in the Thames and bad been moored in the same spot for 193 years, has been towed two miles farther out to sea owing to shifting sands. She is now anchored at the month of the Yantlet Chancel, pointing the way to a ditect course up the Medway.

The lightship is one of the best known of tons of London-bound shipping. Thousands of people visit her annually. in pleasure boats.

During the war German aeroplanes tried to drop bomba on her but succeed- ed only in hitting small craft lying alongside. In the new position her light will still be seen from the Southend Pier extension, but not from the town,

Her crew of six is changed monthly, but they got their letters daily from the Trinity House boat.

The Prince bad seen all the cases pro- duced, and, noticing that there were only twenty-seven cases present out of twenty-eight known to be in the institu tion, asked for the twenty-eighth

The officer-in-charge proceeded to ex- plain that his was a case of such -a frightful, not to say repulsive, character that it was not thought well to include him with the rest, whereupon the Prince said he had undertaken the job and re- fused to have anyone deprived of his sympathy who bad, it seemed, the highest claim to it.

He was at once taken, to the patient's room, went straight up to the maa, and. "kissed him...

Lord Morley found the King very dis turbed lest the new President of the Cnited States should send Mr. Bryan us Ambassador to this Court, and it was agreed that Bryce should unofficially be dropped a hint that such an appointSurely (adda Sir Almeric) an act of ment would be unacceptable.

Com manders,"S The King informed Lord Marley that he had written very forcibly to the First Lord and Prince Louis of Battenberg condemning their neglect

THE PRINCE'S COMPASSION, There is a moving story of the Prince of Wales which, although not new, is worth reproducing in Bir Almeric's own words. On May 1st, 1923, the diarist notes:RAT

A very remarkable story is told me of an act of mercy performed at his oven, inspiration by the Prince of Wales while! in Belgium this week. One of his taska was to visita bospital for the special treatment of English soldiers sullering, from facial disfiguration, the greatest difficulty of which is the extreme sensi tiveness of the victims to any suspicion of curiosity or recoil on the part of a visitor
