Dear Miss Grey: CD I have a
hat with a large red velvet crown,
which Is somewhat soiled and dus-
ty. Is there any way I can clean
it and make it look brighter? The
brim is of dark red felt and is
dull looking. Is there any way I
can brighten that? M. b. H.
o. First brush the hat well and
clean thoroughly with gasoline. A
weak solution of ammonia water,
If applied after the gasoline is dry,
will brighten the felt and velvet
and restore the color.

l Hello, prince; glad to meet yerw An home town seized his hand and said in
 a manner indicating that he owned the | city and was the whole reception com mittee, "Welcome to our town, prince. At the Canadian receptions and balls the prince was presented chiefly to ! young ladies, but in New York there was a ball at the Academy of Music at which elderly danes danced with him while the younger women looked
 on. Afterward the prince remarked.
 ~New York has quite fine collection of antiques"
 On the whole the prince enjoyed his
 American tour, though he never again
 crossed the water, despite various h.
 yitations. It is said. however. that
 two trees which he planted in Central
 park. New York. still stand as memo
 rials of his visit.
 For many years as Prince of Wales
 Edward represented Queen Victoria at
 various state and social functions
 which. according to previous custom.
 should have been attended by the
 reipning monarch. Thus. though he
 waited long beyond the average ex-
 nectancy to wear the crown himself.
 he was the central figure of the empire
 in public long before he became king.
 Tn the latter years of Queen Victo-
 ria's life there was little expectation that her eldest son would survive her.
 Several times he was reported as sur- fering serious illnesses. Even his coro-
 nation. for which the most elaborate
 nreparatfons had been made. had to be postponed because of serious illness which at first was regarded as fatal Two days before the date of the in- tended coronation he underwent . se-
 rious surgical operation. but he rallied.
 and six weeks later he was crowned.

A Twentieth Century Monarch.


 Edward VII, in fact, was an up to date. twentieth century monarch. knowing well his place and never seeking to overstep the bounds which tbe democratic empire had placed for h.n- Fully matured and toned down by threescore years of life before he succeeded to the throne. King Edward never evinced an iota of that over bearing attitude which a much young CT monarch might have sought to dis play even on the English throne in these latter and nobler days. He sim ply upheld the dignity of the crown. was revered as monarch and admir- ed as a man by his own people and the rest of the world, drew his emolu- ments. did his days work and passed Into history as benevolent sovereign.

He was born in Buckingham palace Nov 9. ls4l. being the eldest son and second ehsid of Victoria and the prince consort. Al bert of Saxe-Coburg.

Isveztea Manhattan Cocktail.

i several inventions. among them being i the , o'clock tea and the cocktail. The latter. it may be remarked has be.
 come more popular in America than l the former. The kings cocktail Is said to have been almost identical
 with the Manhattan of today. Yet King Edward was said to he rather abstemious in regard To liquors. A year before the death of Queen Victoria the private secretary of Ed
 ward wrote bis biography. from which
 these interesting facts are condensed: He never allows a typewriter in his house.
 He spends S5.o00 year for tele- grams.
 He allows oniystwe knives and forks to each guest at his table. He is colonel eight times over. He has one private secretary, two assistant secretaries and a staff of clerks to assist them. He receives POO letters a day and an swers most of them. Every minute of his time in London is spent according to schedule. He has every order of knlghthood In Europe.
 His uniforms are worth $Io.O00 He is a field marshal and an admiral. He is the chief horse owner. dog owner and yachtsman in England He goes to church every Sunday morning.
 He never goes to the races on Sun day.
 He started fife with an income of $55.O00 a year. He says he has no debts. He loves to travel incognito in Paris. He buys hundreds of theater tickets without using them. He thinks his nephew. the German emperor. is too sensational. He has friends in every nation and speaks German. French. Italian and Russian.
 He is five feet six inches tall and
 weighs 1S0 pounds.
 He has light gray eyes. gray beard. . brown complexion and bald head.
 His hands and feet are small and neat.
 He is fond of Irishmen, Frenchmen. Germans and Russians
 King Edwards Forethought.
 Of late years the Prince of Wales has been more of parsonage from a political standpoint This change was entirely due to the king. The latter told the Prince of Wales that. though he himself had had to fulfill much public duty during the ufe of Queen Victoria. yet he had been kept aloof from po- litical and diplomatic influence and 1t was not until his accession that he had been able to show himself to the en- pire in his true light. He did not want this to recur with his son.
