A touching story showing how widely
King Edwards amiable and beautiful
'consort is beloved is told by Colonel
Henry Knollys. At the Victoria Hos
pital at Damascus Colonel Knollys saw
a little girl patient draw from under
her pillow her most cherished possess
sion-"a rough, common, frayed pic
ture, which she had rescued from some
sweepings of illustrated papers and
which represented Queen Alexandra
The picture was bordered with colored
paper and decorated with a loop of blue
ribbon" When asked If she would like
to send a message to the queen the lit
tie Arab girl replied; Tel the beautiful
lady in England 1 send my wish that
she may have the peace Of God"
In Shakespeare's England courtship
was not the prolonged and romantic af-
fair it is now. The young folks did not
make and unmake engagements as they
lpleased without consulting their par
ents. The etiquette of a betrothal was
almost as formal and as rigid as that
of marriage is today. 1t consisted of
three observances-the joining of hands,
kiss and Interchange of rings, all in
the presence of witnesses and usually
in church. The man had to promise
under oath to take this woman whose
name is N. to wife within forty days.
It ds needless to say that under such
circumstances-eng never last
ing as much as six weeks, partners US
ually chosen by the parents, marriages
at the age of IA and honeymoon trips
unlxnown-there was much less oppOr-
tunity than there is now for the de-
,velopment Of romantic love.
The most delightful whim of the sea-

the plaintive melodies Of the Magyar
nomad draw tears to the eyes OF for.
