Wales brushed aside their objections and had a good half hour 2O00 feet above England,
 Brave, democratic, a splendid mo torist, a clever golfer and player of tennis, this is the side of Wales that would appeal especially to the Ameri can girl. But there is the other side of the medal. And on the other side is traced all that pomp of ceremony, that obligation of etiquette which no wife of a Prince can avoid. However democratic he may be, Wales will one day become King of Great Britain and Emperor of India. And his wife may know all about tennis if she likes, but she must know all about how to man. age a court train and how to wear a crown
 The art of being a queen is ar art in which every princess, from her infancy, receives rigorous instruction. Yet the dignity with which many an American girl has taken tip the role of duchess or ladyship augurs we'll for the way an American girl would play the role of sovereign.
 
 American women can grace an ancient and ilIustrious title. Among his closest friends are the American Duchess ot Roxburghe and Viscountess Maidstone and Lady Granard. He knows the American Duchess of Marlborough and Duchess of Manchester, Lady Beatty and Lady Decies. And he has heard of the first wife of Lord Curzon, the American girl who made the loveliest vicereine that India has ever seen, whose death was lamented by an em. nire. Wales adnnires American women: he has said so more than once.
 For to be Queen of England Is no easy task. It means filling position which has been filled by some of the most brilliant women in history. 1t means stepping at once into the radi- ance of glory reflected. from irn1nemo-

By mans nicknames ye shall know him. The English don't nickname so affectionately the men whom they do not respect.
 Two other little things happened which prove that England is going to have manly king when Wales mounts the throne. He got into the habit of picking up soldiers as he flew down French roads in his car, giving them 8 lift so democratically that many of them never recognized the slim, fair-headed young officer who handled the wheel like an expert. Upon certain day Tommie, picked up as he trudged forlornly through 8 bat tered village, began to talk about his sweetheart
 Here's her picture" he said, pro ducing it.
 The Prince duly admired the photo graph.
 Maybe you have a picture of your own girl?" the soldier ventured.
 Not yet" said the Prince with a little smile
 The soldier gave him a commiser- atlng look. Don't you carry any pictures of any of your people?" he asked.
 There's a picture of my father" the Prince answered, and dropped into the mans astonisned palm a golden sovereign, on which were stamped the features of George V.
 The other little thing happened while the Prince was still at an off cers' training camp, where he rose at 5, snapped on his accouterments, and started out for a long day of drill. At the end of a twenty-mile march in full equipment, a march com- pleted in eight hours, during which the young man "swore good and hard an airpiane sailed overhead. Wales was struck by the graceful beauty of the war-birc. That night he appeared, quite unannounced, at the aviation. camp and asked to be taken on flight. 1t was in the early days of the var. before aviation had been reduced to fairly exact science The aviation ofac"l's wern inclined to hesitate.

Union of Ideals

She must answer, through her sec. retaries, hundreds of letters a week She must have general supervision of her household, if she is a really cap. able Queen. She must see carefully to tho bringing up of her children, for some of them are likely to be rulers of various lands in the future She must hold the loyalty and affection of her people in every way, remem- bering that always the fierce, white light that beats about throne is ready to search out every flaw.
 Perhaps she will never wear her crown again, after that one golden day in the abbey. But always she will feel the gold circlet press her tenn ples; always the robe of state will hang rich and soft, but heavy, from her shoulders-as it did for Elizabeth and Mary and Anne.
 Is it likely that an American girl may be the next Queen of England? The union of democratic ideals with royal tradition would not dim the beauty of either, and should bring out the best i'll both. The world war has pointed the way to the abolition of many stiff rules. Perhaps the Prince of Wales really will marry an Ameri. can. Perhaps he won't 8ut h0 won't he sorry if he does.

can be preached unsmilingly And another reason is that the war has rearranged the royal matrimonial checkerboard in such a way as to make an eligible and acceptable princess as rare as a kind word for the kaiser.
 Princess Yolanda of Italy has been mentioned. and so has Princess Eliza beth of Rumania. They have men, toned all the eligibles lately because tha Prince of Wales is now an up- standing young man of twenty-four years, a. real veteran of many dangerous episode under shell-fire. and the most desirable catch" in Europe. The diplomats would have him marry soon. But Yolanda is Catholic. Eng fish law forbids the marriage of an heir to the throne with Catholic princess. even though she be willing to change her faith. And Elizabeth of Rumania, though beauty and half English, is a. princess of Hohenzollern blood. About the only eligible royalty who remains is Princess Maud of Fife, E. rosy and radiant English girl, win some as an apple blossom. But she IS first cousin to the Prince-daughter O. tt.A Kings own sister. Church, surenics and public opinion make this match unpopular.
 There are plenty of American girls who in beauty, social dignity, gentle breeding and regal poise yield nothing tc, ay1y Queen that ever helG scepter England desires more than ever be- .urs to be on the best of terms with America Aad--the Prince of Wales

rial ages, rich with the jewels of great deeds, Iustrous with romance. The American girl on her way to be crowned would have to cross the DOT ta1s of Westminster Abbey-that stu pendous shrine which was ancient when America waited the discoverer' She would pace down the aisle where Harold, last of the Saxon kings, went to his coronation, over 8O0 years aso' She would pass the canopied tomp which hides Elizabeth in the remnants of her stiff brocade and tarn1shed jewels Tn that hushed walk through the sacred twilight of the Abbey she would journey from the dim begin nings of British history through us magnificent course of power ana sa"' agery, benignity and triumph-"all the way from the days of Saxon and V1k' ing invader to the days of the British and the vanquished Hun. All the way from tyranny to democracy. Perhaps an American Queen would fit Ill well as a symbol of that liberty toward which, even in the far, dark centur1es' the Anglo-Saxons were always n8hV- ing their determined course.
 The coronation of an English queen is full of echoes of the past; bright with symbols of the greatness Whlch is England. If she comes to the throne because her husband IS Frlnce of Wales, outstretched hands from the dead centuries are reaching toward her from every side. For her husoand himself stands as a symbol or nation which yielded, but never was conouered.

TS IT possible that an American girl A may be the next Queen of England? The idea of an Anaerlcan bride for the young Prince of Wales has been sug- rested by two London newspapers not by American papers, mind you, but by English And the suggestion, which four years ago would have met with howl of derision, meets today with widespread approval in England itself,
 That's how safe the world has been made for democracy.
 It's impossible" is the first com n1ent made on this suggested alliance by those whose skepticism has not been changed by the war. But even the hardest shelled of. skeptics will re- member that these last four or five years have been a period of impos- abilities come true, In July, 1914. the Russian Czar as wife for the son of the English King, They were even suggesting the daughter of tie Kaiser. 7s young lady whona~-to his credit be 1t said---the Prince of Wales did not fancy in the least. Who could have foreteld the disasters that would over take the Romanoffs, or the dishenor that overlook the Hohenzollerns? There is no Russian royal house to- day. And an English prince now would as lief pet a viper as marry a German princess. These are little things for a skeptic to recall.
 Perhaps no country in the world has been more changed by the war than England. Old ideas are thorough ly out of date This is one reason why royal marriage with an American

J--t on their coronets. Thereupon the Archbishop places a golden scepter in the Queens right hand, and the ivory rod surmounted by a dove in her left, uttering another brief prayer
 As he murmurs, Amen" the Queen rises and, accompanied by the two bishops. returns to her place. And as she passes by the King on his throne"--thus the old instructions she shall bow herself reverently to his majesty, and then he conducted to her own throne and take her place in it.'' .-
 Then shall the organ play"
 It is but the beginning of a career full of patience and no little labor. but a career of service to the country whose crown she wears. The Queen must be active in charities. She must visit hospitals, attend countless cere- monies where cornerstones of public buildings are laid. She must select her ladies in waiting with an eye not only to their social graces but also to their fair regulations. She must rule her court wisely, avoiding the roustng of jealousies-a dreadful task. She must arrange lists of invitations. She must show herself at the opera, the theatre, the races. She must give lavish entertainments, befltting her state. For decades, now that the war is done, she must be active in relief work for soldiers families and recon struction work for veterans. She must be able to chat graciously with peas ant and play the hostess to visiting royalty.

SILK STRAIGHT-JACKErS.

They were called smocks, but straight jackets seemed the more ap- propriate word, for they were just as nf&cow as narrow could be and-there was not suspicion of waistline. The whole siIhoutte, from shoulder to ankle, was straight and curveless and slim-oh, marvelously slim! In fact, watstlines are out of fashion and even the suspicion of one makes g. femi- nine figure look a little out of date, says the Providence Journal.
 These new straight jacket -smocks were shown a week or so ago in New York. Among the collection of clothes for southland wear, and southland styles now mean spring styles for later on. One of the pop ular silks Is pussy willow, that shim- mery, sturdy, silken stuff which has been known to go through several seasons, first as frock, then as neg ligee and then as bathing suit with out losing either Its simmer or Its texture
 There are other weaves; khaki kool, a delightful silk for sport suits and skirts; indestructible voiIe, sheer
 
 ings; ruff-a-nuff and kumsi-kums1 and others-all as pretty and fascin- ating as their names.
 Some of the frocks shown were al of one material-those were mostly for evening wear-but the most in teresung models were the straight jacket effects which almost invari. ably combined two materials, The smock falls straight and simple iron shoulder to hip, where it Is con fined close to the figure by band O the fabric.
