Pink shirts and pink collars are being
sported by the ex-kaiser, reports London
Daily Mail correspondent after q visit to Hol-
land. All around, Bill is perking up. He is
emerging from strict seclusion. leading freer
existence, and works daily in his garden in full
view of anyone passing the castle home of the
notorious exile. Chopping and saving wood?
Not these days. Instead, Bill is thinning sut
the fir trees along the road, clipping and
trimming like barber. His gang of helpers
work with him. just inside the wire fence, in
their shirt-sleeves Occasionally even Bill is
reported to strip off the coat of his gray suit.
He talks incessantIy'-but his talk is
limited to trees and landscape gardening.
The ex-crown prince pays occasional visits
to his father and dashes all over the country in
his new motor car. He spends much time
playing lawn tennis and croquet and he sees
many visitprs."-
The story in Holland is hat he would visit
his father more often if it were not for the
fact that Bill makes him help in the garden.
Recently he took two weeks vacation while
plumbers installed bath in his island home
What do you think Of that, Watson? Well,
Sherlock, it looks as if the ex-crown prince
expects to spend another winter where he is

GOOD NEWS.
BY BERT0N BRALEY.

GOOD NEWS.
like the friendly letter that is full of pleasant
chatter,
Or the letter from the folks hack home;
And the gushing girlish letter crammed with
bright and slangy patter, \
And the letter from across the foam;
! like the prim epistle from some dear old
maiden auntie
And comrades letter. true and tried
But the best of all these missves, though it
otherwise is scanty,
Is the letter with the check inside.
There's the letter full Of crosses Indicating
loving kissesl
Which will give each lovers heart a thrill,
There's the letter 0ar from Joyous any missiye
such as this isl
Which "begs to call attention to bill";
Business letters, begging letters, letters CAV
and letters merry,
Letters that you want to shower hide:
But the best OF all epistles-though the thought
sounds mercenary-
Is the letter with the check inside
Friends may write to calm and cheer you in a
manner sympathetic.
And it's nice to have them write that way,
Other folks may spur you onward with their
phrases energetic,
And-gou Aay take their advice, some dav:
But when things are going badly with no sign
Of getting hetteri
And you think the game Of iife's = snide.
It's then you get new courage from the truly
helpful letter.
Tia latsas vith thA-chack iasida!
