Gently. while motoring in the outskirts
of The Hague, the Dutch sovereign
WAS attracted by the unusual beauty OF
a lab0rerS child who waved to her.
She stopped her car to chat with the
little girl, asked her name and kissed
her
A Few days later the delighted child
received a parcel from the palace con
tanning beautiful pair of gloves, the
right-hand glove filled with caramels
and the left with gold pieces. Accom-
panying the gift was a note from the
queen asking her little friend to write
and tell her which of the gloves gave
her the most pleasure
In due lime the child's reply, Oh
tear-stained note paper, reached the
palace Your majesty it read. Il
don't know which glove | liked the
best, because my daddy took the left
hand glove and my brother took the
right
The queen, in good story book style,
promptly duplicated the gift. making
certain, however that the child should
not be robbed by grasping father or
greedy brother. II is not related
whether or not she repeated her rather
embarrassing inquiry.

LION OF WATERLOO TOPPLING
Glory OF the Old Battlefield Eeipsed
by Events Of the World
War;

The great lion on the field of Water
loo is reported in danger of collapse.
The base upon which it rests is in
ruins.
The battlefield of more than cen
tury ago has been forgotten by most
people in the rush to the new field of
glory. Where Napoleon and yelling
ton contended does moi concern the
tourists who want to see where FOch
and Hindenburg were making their
fame.
And the lion has lasted much longer
than either the Corsican or the Eng
lishman, neither of whom had an
other claim upon the attention Of the
world, observes the Fort Worth Tele-
gram
The poet Shelley sang the requiem
of all the glory of might in the pic
ture of a crumbled statue half covered
with sand, bearing the inscription;
My name is Ozymandias. king of
kings;
Look on my works, " mighty and
despair;
Nothing beside remains,
OF that colossal wreck, boundlsss and
bare.
The lone and level sands stretch far
away"

itary fame. rests on a foundation that

LET ME HELP

Today, let us have a real personal chat. Not to preach,
not to satate with advice or weary with instructions, but to
suggest, to stimulate, to encourage, in a word to help-that
Is the aim of the writer in these daily articles.
Have these articles helped you? Or hasn't your problem
been touched on in the way you would like it to be? There
are many general problems which every one of us must face.
Many of these the writer has tried to discuss from their va
rious s%tandpoints. But perhaps yours is a distinctly personal
problem. No suggestion or encouraging word has been given
that seems to fit your case. Then you are the person the writer
wants to hear from. Write to me. Tell me your problem.
Let me help you.
Or perhaps there are some questions, questions relating
to the home life, questions of social or business etiquette, ques-
lions relating to ones personal appearance or questions on
household management that you would like to have answered.
Send me the questions and I will do my best to give you
the desired information.
Let there be a personal touch between the reader and the
writer. 1t will prove an inspiration to the writer and l believe
a help to the reader. Let these articles be, not for the woman
IN general, but for a woman in particular-and that means
you.
The writer wants to say the encouraging word to the dis
couraged, the cheerful word to the depressed, the stimulating
word to the Indifferent, the timely word to the novice, and the
right word to each of you. So tell me your troubles and
discuss with me your problems. Write to me. Let me help
