water perceptibly shorter than they
used to be. but even royalty seems to

Mary, of England, Is taller than George
! V. The German empress Is taller than
the emperor. and the same difference
on the wrong side exists In the case
! at the~czaF,- tha king of Italy and the
king of Denmark Women have all
sorts OF privileges these days.

in-iaw of the prophet of Oyster Bay
| has never followed the precepts so
( frequently formulated by his acquired

! a certain spirit of sarcasm may have
| furnished a reason for the appoint
! ment in question.
