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. Malyorn. Sho said that the child who was often punished for being untruthfal was probably merely a particular- ly imaginative' child.:..

Dr. Hawthorne enid that she ro 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 had disappeared. Everybody was sum- moned to find the watch, and the tur- place was temporarily in moil. The five-year-old boy enjoyed wan escaping from thin, an ho lessons in the nursery. When the watch could not be found the ex- citement died down a little. The boy then went to his mother and sald, in a tragic and pathetic voice, "I am very sorry, Mummle: I took the watch."

His mother was horrified and Baid, "Darling, why did you tell me a lie? Why didn't you tell me before you had taken the watch 7" He was asked what he had done with it, and said, "It was such a nice watch; so very much like my own toy watch. I took it into the bathroom because I thought 1 would like to see what It looked

KING GEORGE'S MAIL

LETTERS BY THE THOUSAND

SOME QUAINT MISSIVES Many a Hollywood film star would like as large a daily mail as King George V.

Huge bags, containing thousande of letters, are dumped at the post offles Inaldo 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.. Ho has six private secretaries, hended by Sir Clive Wigram, and all of them are kept busy.

Although most of the latters sent to the King aro sincere, there are cranka and always some from tricksters. So there is an Invidl able rule that any requests for charity must first be investigated by Scotland Yard. Nevertheless,
