E-GGs-TRAoRDyNAaY CASE

A Young woman who was reared in
an Eastern Kansas town resd in a
poultry journal that poultry raising was
remunerative, so she decided to t-y it.
She purchased a hen and set her on
thirteen eggs. She wrote to a poultry
journal that poultry raising was much
to her liking and wondered how long
the hen should remain on the eggs. The
paper wrote back, "Three weeks for
chickens and four weeks, for ducks.
Later she wrote the poultry journal as
follows: "Many thanks for your advice
about the setting hen. She remained on
the nest three weeks and at the end
Of that time there were no chicken
Matched. As ! did not care for ducks, /
tool her off the nest and sold the eggs"

QUEEN MOTHER
IS INTERESTED
Maintains Close Touch
With Affairs in City
of London
(By The Associated Press.)

LONDON, Dec. 24.-Even at her
country hcme in Yorkshire to which
she retired a year ago, Queen Alexan-
dra has not lost her touch with the
affairs of London with which she has
been associated for more than half a
century. The hundreds Of hostesses
who entertain during the season, like
the royal family, always remember the
Queen Mother and she receives invita-
lions to all affairs just as she did when
she lived at Marlborough House, across
the park from her sons home.
whenever a dinner or party is given
by anyone whose position allows, an
Invitation is ssnt to the Queen Mother,
and this is usually followed by a note
Of regret and an expressed wish that
a little account of the affair. with the
names Of the guests, the dresses and
ether details be sent to her. When the
queen first retired to Sandringham
most of her friends made regular trips
to visit her, but during the last few
months her physician has demanded
that she give up the fatigue of these
visits and it is now only through the
post that she can hear Of the neighbor-
hood gossip.
When Queen Alexandra moved into
Marlborough House she continued to
keep open house for the many members
Of the royal family who enjoyed the
right of entry to the palace under the
genial Edward. The custom is still
continued at Sandringham and there is
hardly a day when some member of
the family is not the guest OF the
Queen Motheh
The king and queen have spent sew
eral sweeks with her at Sandringham
this year, and each of the princes had
paid a visit to his grandmother. Re-
Gently before the two sons of Princess
Mary came to London they were takes
to see their great-grandmother, and at
the same time were officially intro
duced TO their great grand-aunts, the
Dowager Empress Of Russia, the Dow
ager Queen Olga of Greece, and theii
aunt, Princess Victoria, who is her
mother's constant companion.
Queen Alexandra, who is eighty years
old, still takes a daily walk through
her gardens to visit her kennels, for
she is an ardent lover of dogs and has
no less than Is pets. Reading the
newspapers as also another daily task of
the aged queen and she usually sup
pigments it by writing a few letters,
generally on public Matters for she
has never ceased to take an interest in
the welfare of the hospitals and chill
dren's, homes, which she has fostered
since she came to England 81 years
ago.
