'swells'' have given up the contest in
despair. and the new king has always
refused to admit that this artificial
strain has benefited English society.
He's Close Fisted, Too.
He has no ideas about money or;
entertainment. He is close listed, dis

has made study Of royal statecraft
and knows down to the tiniest detail
exactly her powers and possibilities
and those Of her husband.
Most persons wonder at the extraor-
