YARDLEY FRAGRANCE POWDER

The one perfect powder

for a flawless English skin,

Clear and cool and gardenia-smooth, the Englishwoman's complexioni is like some pink-and-ivory-petaled flower, exquisite and raro. And she cares for it as she would her most precious possessions. She will use only the finest preparations that the world affords.

That is why Yardley made 'Fragrance' Powder.

It will give you more than you had ever hoped for from a powder. It is so light, It will cling for hours; so luxuriously fine. like delicate, tinted mist; so subtly shaded that only the touch of your fingers and the richer, softer finish of your skin will reveal that you have used a powder at all. Truly a miracle!

at his finger-ends.. The Duko is not particularly *Addicted to classical music, but anything live- ly and melodious apperts to him. MOST BRILLIANT PIANIST Ila Royal aunt, now Queen Maud of Norway, used to be the most brilliant pianist in the Royal circle. In fact, good judges used to say that her performances were quite up to professional form.

A Queen of England on the con cert platform would be a grvut attraction, and our own Queen Mary could have appeared as a vocalist and given pleasure to her audience and credit to herself. She has a light but very sweet soprano, and was taught singing by no less expert than Signor Tost, composer of "Good-bye" and many other popular ballads, The Queen's volco, however, has never been heard outside the family circle.

QUEEN MARY'S SKETCHING

of

· Another accomplishment Queen Mary is sketching in water. colour. As "Princess May" she lived for two years in Italy with her parents, the Duke and Duchess of Teck. It was there that the futuro Queen of England develop- ed her talent for drawing and painting, and she brought home books full of sketches in colour of the scenery around her tem- porary abode,

In this parauit Queen Mary only follows in the footsteps of Queen Victoria, who had, in her younger days at any rate, a pas. alon for sketching from Naturo. The latter was taught by the most Euccessful instructor of the day, William Leighton Leitch. When the Queen was at Balmoral she loved to draw the scenery around her Highland home, oven in the coldest weather. She seem- ed impervious to cold, and her unfortunate attendants would have to sit and shiver while the Queen placidly proceeded to transfer to her sketch-black some "bit" which had taken her fancy.

Queen Victorla 19:14 taught singing by Mendelssohn. She loved to sing duels with the Prince Consort, with Mendelssohn at the piano, and the composer has left:

record how pleasant were the times, when the monarch, the con- sart, and he joined happily to gether in making harmony.

PRINCE OF WALES'S SURPRISE

Victoria's son, the Duke of Edinburgh, took himself very seriously as u violinist, and was undoubtedly a great enthusiast. He was never so happy as when he could persuade some professional musiclans to join him in concerted pieces. The Prince of Wales, his brother, afterwards King Edward Vil, took up the banjo as a fad at one time. He was instructed by the ance famous Bohee Brothers," a couple of coloured bunjoists,

Now let us return to one present, Prince of Wales as a banjo player. A funny Incident occurred when the Prince was at Oxford, whither his beloved banjo accompanied him. It became known that .certain undergraduates, rather

extreme in their views, us young men often are, had invited a Com- munist agitator to visit them in' college and expound his views. ·

Hosts and guests were equally surprised when the Prince of Wales, complete with banjo, marched into the room, saluted everybody with 题 mischievous grin, and, sitting down began to play and sing "The Red Flag." There was a little conversation after this impromptu show, and it is said that before he left the Communist was almost a convert to monarchical-ideas-or, at least, had modifed his views as to some representatives of monarchy.
