SHE LOST HER ROYAL WIG
Prolonged Stay in Bed of Queen Ma
rvs Sister While Royal Party
Was in Algiers Explained.

LONDON.-According to private
advices from India Queen Mary is
determined not to face the Bay of
B1scay on her return home and has
decided to land at Genoa. After see
ing something of Italy on her return
voyage she will make her way to
Calais or Boulogne.
This decision is due not only to
the terrible sufferings from sea sick
ness which she herself endured, but
also to the perilous adventures of
her sister-in-law, Princess Royal, the
Duchess OF Fife, in those troubled
waters.
Very few people knew the real
reason of the Princess Royals pro-
IOnged stay in bed at the British con-
suIate at Tangiers after the ship
wreck. The truth is, that the Prin-
cess, like her mother, Queen Alex
andra, has very little hair of her
own and wears a wig.
When the boat from the wrecked
steamer Delhi was swamped the I'M
fortunate princess who, with true
British determination, clasped her
umbrella in her hand lost her wig.
She wrapped handkerchief around
her head to cover the loss and al
though she was none the worse for
her adventure it was necessary that
she retire to bed
Frantic messengers were sent to
Gibraltar for new wigs and finally a.
consignment arrived in time for the
royal party to embark on the steam
er Macedonia.
Queen Alexandra received details
of this domestic tragedy and did not
hesitate to relate them to her sister.

1t was learned, however, that three
square inches of the child S skull had

to cut away the growth, which was
so situated that it made the opera

sinus, a large vein, the puncturing of

death.
Until Johnny was about three and
one-half years old the tumor caused
no trouble, though it showed itself
in slight ridge on the top of the
head. Up to that time John was a
normal child. Then the tumor ossi-
fed, the ridge on his scalp grew IN

his character changed. He became

he attempted to speak, often threw
himself on the floor, screaming and
kicking, and attacked those who
came near him. Frequently his pa

so that he could not beat his head
with stones.

Six months ago the Galicks decided
to take their son to a surgeon. But
Philadelphia specialists, to whom the
mother was recommended, refused

West Side German Dispensary. There
DR.. Walscheld impressed on the
mother the danger that attended the

child run the risk; so the operation
was performed.
