The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-02-02

King Edward has considerably mys-
titled London society by quietly doing
one of the things which delighted him
as a Prince says the New York World
At the hight of the winter season, when
a premium IS put upon his fiVe-minute
appearances at informal functions, and
when every woman in London is trying
to divert him at entertainments of from
four to ten guests, which, none the less,
| all London knows about-the King has
suddenly taken tea at the house. of 8n
unknown lady in Bark Lane, has re-
manned an hour and a half, and has
| observed that he enjoyed the .sffafr
more than any entertainment at which
he has been present. Moreover, though
the tea was mentioned in the LbndonI
and American newspapers, I'm eennee-'
ton with the. name of the only guest
besides the King, stu the name of the
| hostess has at. no time appeared. The
social movements of the King are mat
urally very closely watched and re-
membered now, because. his choice Of
entertainment Is supposed faintiy to-
| foreshadow his settlements after the
coronation, of some very. nice questions
however reHotely. that was indicated.
society has kept its fingerjon it's own
pulse and wis quite unprepared for the
| Kings acceptance of tea when only one
other guest was hidden, especially after

MlssuVirginia Pope, oof New York,
has opened up new field of woman's
work. She is consulting physician
| to canary birds. and the! head of a
special hospital for birds. ~ eH
Frequently there are $50 patients at
the hospital at one time. sN +,
Miss Pope has a remedy for every
ailment She has little baskets. with
small hot water bottles fitted into the
bottom, and covered over with flannel
into which she puts the birds suffering
from chills and Inflammation of the
! bowels and Kindred complaints.
| For birds with broken legs or wings
she has a .cleverly contfiYed bandage
swing, which gives the little patient
much relief, The swing. is so sus-
pended that IL rests the injured parts.
Here is what Miss Pope has to say
on the way to- treat broken legs:
when a canary's leg is broken at the
joint, dissolve gum arabic in a little
alcohol, set the joint and put on an
application with a camers hair brush.
This when dry. holds the leg In place..
Apply the mixture lightly every day
until WE'LL. When the treatment Is
| discontinued and the bird Is liable to
take it's bath. see that the water Is
warm, or. rub the leg with little vase
line; either will soften the gum arabic
