Mistah Mocker and Sammy Jay as
Oonspirators.

When one is feeling very bad
1t somehow seems to help a lot
To hnd that some one else you know
Has into trouble also got.
At least that is what Mistah Mock
er the Mockingbird says, and he
ought to know. Never in all his life
had he felt mor miserable than when
he sat all alone hidden in the Green
Forest trying TO smooth out his torn
and rumpled coat. You see it had
little feathered people of the old or
chard. when they found that Mistah
Mocker had played a joke on them
with his wonderful voice and had
made them think that he was Sammy
Jay. They didn't e n joke in it
No, sir. they didn't zee the joke at all
Instead they were very, very angry.
So poor Mistah Mocker sat moaning
and mumbling to himself and won.

voice. It was the voice Of Sammy

Mistah Mocker listened. It wasn't a
polite thing to do, but he did 1t and
for a while he forgot all about his
own troubles.
"1t's bad enough to get in trouble
for things I do. but to be blamed for
things I don't do is more than ar

Mistah Mocker almost laughed
aloud when he heard Sammy say
that, for he knew, as everybody
knows, that there is no such thing as
an honest Jay. But Sammy spoke as

London. Aug. fixing George v.
Of England and his wife are said to be
planning to deal a cruel blow to Amer
lean peeresses. The American women
who marry English titles are altogeth-
err too frivolous and ultra-modern,
think their royal highnesses. So they
have been very active thinking up
means of discouraging lively Ameri-
can heiresses from marrying English
dukes and earls.
The plan that they are said to have
hit upon is tt restore medieval court
ceremonies. Up-to-date Yankee girls
never could stand this. They love
titles and the social prestige titles
bring. but the idea Of taking part in
the b%arbarous our ceremonies Of the
middle ages does not appeal to them
at all.
For instance, how could the proud
Vivian Gould, who is now Lady De-
Giles. endure having to stand ready
to hand the queen her clothes when

It i s pretty generally the accepted
theory that beautiful hands are born
and not made, and their beauty is
short lived.
Neither theory is altogether true. If
the God-given framework is badly
proportional 1t is naturally more diff
ficult to train the hand into shapeli-
ness; but unless there is actual de-
formity is can be done by daily atten-
ton.
After twenty-five the hand that has
not received proper care begins to
grow thin and bony, the skin to turn
a sickly yellow. and the nails to be-
come so brittle that they are con-
stantly breaking: joints stiffen and the
fingers crack every now and then. All
of these things, declares Therese Con
over Maxwell, whose beautiful hands
are renowned wherever she has APP
peared on the stage. can be deferred

Of cases prevented, II intelligent.
painstaking care is given before the
ravages have commenced. And by
taking care she hastens to explain,
II do not mean wrapping the digits up
in. cotton wool, as the bellies Of long
ago did, nor. of refraining from man
ual labor Of any kind, as man. a mod
'ern belle does, but rather to keep
them In condition for both use and or
namentation."
Whether the hand Is large or small
matters not, but slenderness as COM
pared with breadth is essential. Now.
to acquire comparative s~lenderness
practice stretching the hand, always
keeping the fingers lightly together.
It 10 Q mistake to allow the fingers to
spread apart. Not only does it on
large the apparent size of the hand.
but 1t makes usage Of 1t awkward, and
no one, however symmetrical OF grace
full otherwise. can afford to be awk-
ward in the use of her hands.
Three things are necessary to a fair
treatment Of the hands: Absolute
cleanliness, massage to keep them soft
and pliable, and exercise to make and
keep the muscles supple. so that the
hand itself may be able to respond
readily to the dictates Of the will.

cleanliness, but perhaps . word or

the latter arises on a cold winter
morning. to taste her food before it
is sent to the royal table. to be a
waitress to her highness at dinner,
or possibly sit under the table with
the crumbs and the bones while the
queen munches her lobster salad and
chicken a la king?
That's the way things went in the
middle ages. and King George has
a notion it would be a pretty good
way for them to go now. Out with
these moderns and all their foolish
notions!
In the good old days a whipping
boy was kept for each Of the young
err boys in the royal family. When
the Prince of Wales ate green apples
contrary to his parents wishes or
otherwise misbehaved himself, the
whipping to which his conduct en-
titled him would be visited upon the
whipping boy, who was generally the
son Of a peer. It has been suggested
that in case old customs are all re-
vived the delightful and useful po-
sition Of whipping boy be rendered

OF course, if the old ceremonies are
revived. others beside American peer
esses will get the chance to take part
in them. For instance, there was the

was to crow like a rooster by the
