There is hardly King in Christen- dom whose wife does not overtop him by a head.
 King Edward is quite six inches shorter than Queen Alexandra.
 The Czar, a little man, is overtopped full head by the Czarina.
 Kaiser Wilhelm is of medium height, but the German Empress is tall, and that is why the proud kaiser will never consent to be photographed beside his wife unless she sits while he stands.
 The King of Italy, short and squat. hardly comes up to the shoulders of the tall. athletic Queen Helena.
 The King of Portugal, though fatter. Is less tall than his queen
 Even the Prince of Wales is shorter good four inches than the princess.
 And the young King of Spain is sev- ral inches shorter than his queen.
