ROYAL WEDDING BEING HUSHED UP Practical Gifts

Somebody Saw Prince And Princess Kissing

Two Kinds Of

Nagging Wives

Leeds, Dec. 20.

NAGGING is suicide in marriage,"

declared Mrs. Percy Leigh, former Lady Mayoress of Leeds, commenting to-day on the view expressed in a speech to an audience of women by Dr. J. J. Bachan, Bradford medical officer of health, that nagging was sometimes a kindness.

Mra, Leigh, who is the leader of many women's organisations in Yorkshire, added: "Nagging is about the most horrible and detest- able thing I can think of-and men are some- : times worse than women.

"I think one reason for it in these days isj that young couples nag one another over money matters. Girls have not been taught the value of money or the ways of spending it. They nag because they do not think they have enough to spend on enjoyment, and their husbands nag be-{ cause their wives do not know how to spend their money wisely."

"ART IN NAGGING"

Dr. Buchan-who is married but emphasises that his wife'"has never nagged in her life”— explained to-day that there were two kinds of naggers.

+

"One is the type who nags to urge her hus- ! band on in his business and social life, or who does it to bring about some improvement inf his ways for this own good," he said. "The other is the one who nags because of overwrought nerves or through worry.

"Many men would never have] reached positions of importance If It had not been that their wives had nagged them from time to time;

"Nagging properly used, can be a great neip in a man's career, but it shotud ways be remembered that} there is an art in it and that it should be used with care by wives."

It was stated that he proposed to her, but broke off the engagement because of a younger woman. It was this woman the judge suggested should be referred to as "stake in the grass."

"Catching A Man"

When Mr. Jenkin Jones, Lewis's counsel, suggested to Miss Colly that she was out to catch the man, the Judge said:-

"Let us assume she was. The question the jury and I have to determine is, 'Did she catch him?' Why shouldn't she? In these days the wooing not all on one side, If she saw a young man she fan- eled, why shouldn't she tempt him with cifts?"

Miss Cotty said she bought Lewis about a dozen silk shirts and some. silk underwear.

“I think silk underwear would be very fetching," said the judge. "Mr. Jones, did a lady ever give you sill underwear?"

"IT ISN'T DONE,"

CLUBMEN REAL MOROCCO

$950 $2150

The Hague, Dec. 20. HOLLAND is getting ready for a won-

derful three weeks of junketing_to} celebrate the royal wedding on January 7.

But beyond the fact that Princess Juliana will then become the wife of Prince Bernhard, and that the future Prince Consort works in an office and behaves generally like a human being, the Dutch people are not being allowed to know much about it.

The Royal Family hate publicity. Few details of the ceremony have been allowed to: leak out. No one is permitted to go into St. James's Church, where the wedding will tako place: police guard all doors.

The organist does not yet know the music he will have to play. "Even if I did," he says, "I would not be allowed to tell you." The brides- maids, too, have been commanded to say nothing about their dresses.

The offices of the Royal Archives have been barred to visitors. They are near the royal gar dens; it is feared some one might catch glimpses of Princess Juliana, or of the Prince.

Some one did catch a glimpse of them-ne perhaps that is the reason. It happened to be just at a moment when the Prince put his arm round the Princess's neck and kissed her.

That sort of thing shocks the old-fashioned Dutch. They shake their heads gravely when they see Prince Bernhard driving his own car, with the Princess in it.

When they'rend that the Prince has gone flying they just gaze at one another in consterna- tion. And on the day when a common photo-i grapher was summoned to the Palace by Prince Bernhard and Princess Juliana the clubmen almost took to their beds,

For the whole of that time every thing on wheels in Holland is going to be garlanded with flowers-oven perambulators. Every town and vll- lage will be illuminated every night, and The Hague expects a million and a half visitors on the great day.
