The CAST
BY w. HERBERT BLAKE

One of the ineStimable advantages of
living under a democratic government
is that you can be quite naturally and
childishly interested in royalty in its
picturesque and flamboyant aspects.
RoyalistS, of course, must take all this
for granted, for a king is the most
matter of fact parsonage in the world
to his subject, far more so than the
subject to the king. Perhaps this is
one secret of the connubial attractive
ness of foreign nobility to our imagin-
ative young women, as it is certainly
the principal reason "A Royal Family

rather bored queen, and his mother.

Doubtless this is a shocking frame of

Marshall must bear the blame. Appar-
