A King Hear. He's "onIy Grandpa"

n htuE hears hes "Oniy GrGnNDA."
The Prince and Princess of Wales be-
lieve in raising their children in a very
democratic way. so democratic, in fact,
that little Prince Edward fails to see
that his august grandfather, King Ed
ward, is of any Importance whatever,
says n London cable dispatch to the
New York American. A few days ago a
children's outfitter came to York House,
bringing with her a new suit for little
Prince Edward. The little prince had
evidently spied her, for as she was
waiting to be announced he came run
ming out, saying: ooh, please come
right In. There is no one in here She
tried to prove to him that she must
wait to see whether ii would be con
venient for the princess to receive her.
but Prince Edward cried out; "W'hy.
you can walk right in with me. | tell
you there is no n in here that mat.
ters, only grandpapa."

Of Women's Clubs treated a hack

cheered her audience by assuring
them that good club work and care

the club strongly reinforced the most
important elements in woman's home
making.
She combatted the idea, now rather
prevalent, that literary study IS q re-

argued that the stimulus OF literary
study is Of incalculable value to the
mother, breaking the thread OF do
nestle worry and sustaining her IN
many trials. Such study, broadens ana
cultivates, the loftier thought CROWDS
out the ignoble, making the student
better. Thru the friendship of books
the strain of life is relaxed, the sting
of poverty forgotten. Literary study
also forms the habit of the use OF
