about it one day, and said,

suggest that he try to sit on the

in vain. To "pester" Johnny

erased his examples and then

Great interest was aroused recently by
the circumstances that in grave ma

Queen Alexandra for consultation with

Except when considered as part of the
King and sovereign, Queen Alexandra is
not the head of the state. She enjoys a
position of her own which is unique.
While 1t differs from that of any other
women married or single or of any ank
in some material ways it is also different
from that of previous queen consorts.
One of the most curious and interesting
provisions of the law and customs of the
state is that the Queen is for private
business purposes not regarded as a mar
ried woman at all. She is the only wo-
man in Great Britain who does not come
within the scope of the married woman's
property act.
The principle of the law is that the
King is entirely different from all other
married men and that his time is too
fully taken up with the affairs of state
for him to have any left to devote to
domestic matters, and that therefore the
whole management of the Queens pri-
vate business matters must devolve upon
her majesty singly and that no RESPONSE
bility whatever in respect to them rests
upon the King.
Therefore, If such a thing could be i'm

that large capital was not required to

concern, but that ayone with a little
money to invest could take a hand and
beat the game. Those who answered the
advertisement were mailed circulars set

tages to be derived by investing in the
concern.
