asked what was his conception of
real unhapFiness, and answered
that he copid think OF nothing

a heavy foot on it. When Edward
VII was requested to reveal the
person against whom he bore the
greatest grudge, he answered, "The
man who insists upon pointing his
umbrella a, me and exclaimine,
There he ISL" The Emperor of
Austria gave a different answer to
this query, and said he could think
OF no person whom he disliked
more than the man whose custom
airy greeting was, Good heavens,
how old you do look = The En-
press of Russia answered the same
question az follows: For me
there is no person more disagreea-
bic than the woman who considers
her children the healthiest in the
world and who looks upon other
children as being very intelligent,
