The Crown Prince Ferdinand Will

birthday. Now, a birthday for crown
prince OF Livonia is not q matter Of a
cake with candles on it, and having
his ears pulled, once for each year and
an extra one to grow on. Nor of a
holiday from lessons, and a picnic in
spring woods. Nor a party, with chill
dren frOllcking and scratching the best
furniture.

lea" and doing 1t wrong, looked up in
dismay.
I'D like to know what's the use of
having a birthday" he declared re-
