LAW AND THE QUEEN

n the
of the Queen of England. So far as her Maj
esty's private business IS concerned, she IS not
regarded by the laws and customs of England
as married woman at all. She IS the only
woman in Great Britain who does not come
within the scope of the Married Woman's
Property Act.
The idea in all this is that affairs of state
sumo all the time of the King. and therefore no
responsibility for the Queens private business
in her husbands name, he would not be respon-
sible for them, as any other husband in the
United Kingdom would. The King cannot be
sued for debt; but the Queen can be. Should
the King die, some authorities hold that the
Queen could not marry again. in case she wished
to, without the license Of the Kings successor.

A Magazine That Cheers

-
ticular number of our SUNDAY
MAGAZINE. Of course it cheers for itself
after it is published but it cant do it in
advance, and this cheering is about our next
number. This issue will do its own talking.
Of course it might be wiser to save the
energy toward making succeeding numbers
even better; but it wouldn't be nearly So
much fun. Besides, we can't honestly hope
to get out better one just now. Later on,
We hope to Guido our next number.
THERE'S Torchy story, to begin with.
You remember the Introductory one.
and when you have read "A Jolt for Pid-
die you will be mighty glad to know that
this new series by SeweH Ford is to alter
nate with Shorty McCabe. When the
| returns from the first story came in. we
didn't have any choice. OF course we
knew you would like the red headed office
boy, with his hair-trigger intelligence, his
| unlimited gall, his uncanny shrewdness,
his bubbling humor, and his picturesque
| slang, with real goodness and kindness
| back of it all, and we wanted to make him
| tain small folk with their candy.
TN "A Jolt for Piddie" one finds Torchy
a part of the Consolidated Trust and
coming up in the world. AS he says, he is
only two moves from first vice president,
there's only the " P. S door, the general
managers. and then Torchy himself. The
picture of Piddie, who is confidential sec
rotary, is going to make those who know
the familiar type shout with glee.
At THE SIGN OF THE POWDER
PUFF" by Kate Masterson, is SO
witty, SO truthful, SO brilliant. and alto
gether SO delightful. that it is hopeless to
try and give you any real conception of it.
One can say it is gloriication of the
| feminine beauty cult with never chance
missed for humor or satire; one can
quote, Demand that women must choose
| between the ballot and the corset, and
you will hear not one muff1ed drum nor a
| funeral note for the downtrodden female
but you can know how wonderfully clever
it is only by reading it. The chances are
You'll read it half dozen times at least.
The first time you will laugh SO much you
will miss lot of the wisdom; SO you will
have to 90 over it again to absorb the
truths-and to laugh some more. The
other times you will read it over to your
friends-to edify or confound them. It's
wonder, really it is.
| A SON OF THE IMMORTALS" grows
more and more interesting. The
action is turning toward Delgratz, and Of
course loan has to be taken there too.
How it is accomplished shows Louis
Tracy's wonderful gift as a storyteller.
The Humming Bee, Felix Poluski, plays
principal part in it, and one comes to love
the little hunchback anarchist, who is
really great artist.
THE BLACK MAGIC" by Michael
White, is story of India, whose hero
is an American engineer. When cleo
tricity stacks up against Hindu super
stition, something is bound to happen.
It's mighty exciting in this tale-and

I HAVE repeatedly called the attention
! of my readers to the importance of life
insurance for married men. 1t is duty
every man owes his wife to see that her
welfare is looked after in case of his death
In the past the widow has sometimes been
the prey of sharks, who, learning that
widow had received nice sum from life
insurance, Immediately proceeded to sell
her gold bricks in the shape of worthless
mining shares, etc. l want to commend
especially-even at the risk of giving lit
tie free advertising monthly-income
policy of the Prudential Insurance Com
pany. This policy provides for certain
income to be paid monthly for certain
number of years, or a certain sum to be
paid monthly throughout the life of the
widow. In this way the man has the salts
faction of knowing that there will be no
uncertainties of food and shelter for his
widow, as these matters are provided for
by the terms of the policy. This form is
especially commended to the average
man. whose wife must, of necessity, be un
familiar with the ways of financial sharks.
This form of policy also provides against
the i'll advice of friends on financial mat
tiers, so far as the investment OF the life
insurance money is concerned.
