foNpoN, July 6.-The Prince Of Wales
co's a first class certificate as an artists
model from NJ. Francois Flameng, the
French portrait painter.
Tho Prince, II appears. does not sit like
a ramrod. az II he were getting his photo
graph taken. but gossiys genially with
the artist. thus keeping his face animated.
He is also model o' punctuality. He
arrived AT the studio every day hut one
with Monte Cristolike punctuality. On
the single day when he was behind time
he telephoned to NJ. Flameng to say that
the delay was due to the bursting of one
of tho tires Of his automobile-tiresh have
no respect for royalty.
In Fla meng's picture tho Prince is
rigred as naval cadet. BY the way. he
brought joy I London when he arrived
here week ago for the celebration of his
birthday. He wore a bright purple neck
tie with his topper and morning suit.
Now mayb' the present gloom which
beeets masculine costume in this !, cient
city may he partially dispelled.

is ou' with an articlN 'riy revelling in
the prospect OF English women obtaining

BRITISH JUSTICE.
Infexihle English justice appears tc
have certain amount Of elasticit"
They have been reducing the severi;.. a
the sentences Of suffragettes who delib
erately damaged property or conspireo
to do so. apparently because they hav,
large and influential backing in Pariia
ment and among the voters. But there
is no prospect of mercy for younC
woman OF 20 who was sentenced 20 tive
months imprisonment a few days ag,
for giving way to a natural impulse o
affection.
II appears that Ellen Butler married
Of Penn street. Hoxton. had n sister Jessi
who was wayward and was sent to al
industrial school, Jessie escaped on
day and fed to her sisters home.
The sister. instead Of dragging her Il

Magistrate could see no palliation for he
crime and sentenced her. although sh
had young baby in her arms.
The woman swooned in the dock oI
receiving the sentence and had TO he car

humble as she Is respectable there is n
hope of the Home Office's taking up tn
case.

ALondon paper has started discussio
as TO what is the best known railwa.

Waterloo and ST Pancras seem TO be i
the lead from the English point OF view
but the paper itself is inclined TO thin
that Clapham Junction has the best clair

traffic that passes through 1t.
One cabin at the junction deals with n
less than ,383 scheduled trains in tn
