ton and a simple naturalness about the
Prince of Wales which many Americans

A certain teacher who had studied a
particular bad boy from every conceiv-
! able standpoint finally found the cause
of his apparent wickedness. He had
| been especially annoying all day, and at
the close Of the school the teacher sat
down by him and said: John, what is
it so hard to behave in school?' Poor
John, in a burst of confidence, blurted
out: Its cos I'm so derned hungryr'
Then the teacher knew that Johns refor-

with a polite note praising it's delicacy,
but saying it was unsuitable to his maya

more it was returned with kind words
for it's delicate touches and regrets that
it was unavailable. When the third time
the little story had been praised for it's
delicacy, but rejected, the authoress was
in despair.
| 'It looks to me-" she said. 'as if my
story was so delicate that it had gone
into a decline"
