You don't often hear of the pre-
tender to the throne of Great Brit
ain and Ireland, but there is ore,
and according to the rules of the
royal game he is more entitled to
the crown now worn by Edward
VII than is the son of Queen Vic
toria. The man who should be
"his royal highness" of England Is
the old Prince Luitpold, regent for
the mad king of Bavaria. He is
head of the Jacobites or Stuartites,
as they are sometimes called. and
traces his ancestry back 221 years
to James ii, who was ousted by
packed parliament and his throne
given to William of Orange.
For more than two centuries the
descendants of James Stuart have
awaited the call to cross the chan
mel and assume the scepter which
jovial King Ed holds. Frequently
there are demonstrations In behalf
of the '1egitiinist king of Eng
land" but they have never caused
King Ed half as much worry as
failing to meet pretty actress o.
as losing horse at the derby.

One of the new ideas in union
ism Miss Morgan stands for is the
giving of a fund or dowry by the
union to any girl member who
marries. Another is for the work
ing together of mems and women's
unions.
"All the foreign girls are &C
customed to getting the linen
ready for their marriage from the
time they can use needle" she
said. "That is" with a smiling
acknowledgment of her own spin
ster condition, 81 suppose girls
have no intention of not marrying
up to the time they're IA. After
that they sometimes begin to
change their minds
"But anyway the dowry idea Is
not a bad one. We have the same
thing in another form in this coun-
try"
Much of the time, however, Miss
Morgan was the student. She want
ed to know Just how one went to
work to form a union.
"How do you start one?" she
asked OF Miss Mary McEnerney

the women's bindery union, the

women stand for organization.

unions for women succeed Is for
them to work with the men," she
