The kinq's Way,

1t was characteristic of the late King
Edward VII. that he never showed too
much or too little courtesy. but Just
enough to maintain his reputation Of
being the most gracious gentleman of
Europe. Some years ago, according to
the author of The Peoples King" his
majesty visited Aberdeen and knighted
the lord provost. At the luncheon
which followed the king sat next to
Mrs. Lyon, the wife Of the lord pro-
vost, and noticed on the table the card
denoting her place.
Il must alter this" the king said,
smiling on the lady
With his pencil he effaced the word
Mrs. and in its place substituted Lady
and graciously handed the card to her
