LONDON, May 9.-Queen Mary

Wales has given by going Demo.
cratic.
While Wales visits slums, the
queen has democratized her tea
parties. They are not exactly on
the free-and-easy plane of the church
social as yet, but at least some of
the formality has been removed.
Heretofore, Buckingham Palace
tea parties have been really royal af-
fairs, at which the king and queen
formally received their guests-the
queen hatted-and at which the hun.
dreds of guests stood stiffly about
and stared at each other.
But at later parties the queen in
timated that the guests would be eX-
pected merely to attend and enjoy
themselves. They were surprised to
see her bareheaded, and she circu'
lated among the guests chatting to
them. A buffet tea, was served. So
ciety reporters describe the affair as
simple, homely and happy in its
graceful hospitality and kindness Of
welcome"

Dickens Intended Death of
Character in Book.

LONDON, May 9.-The mystery
of Edwin brood. that has perplexed
Dickens lovers for years, Is believed
to have finally been solved with the
death of Sir Luke Fildes, dis
tinguished painter.
Dickens died while he was writing
the book, THE Mystery of Edwin
brood" Detectives, literary men
and school debating societies have
tried to complete the story ever
since Dickenss death in 1870.
1t was announced after F'ilde's
death that Dickens had confided to
him-the illustrator Of tho book
that Edwin brood was TO be
strangled, with a necktie, by the
character, Jasper.
Fildes, it is said, was visiting
Dickens and showed him a picture of
Jasper wearing a little black necktie.
Dickens insisted that 1t must be
a large one. Asked why, he in
quired in turn.
Can you keep a secret?'
YES" replied Fildes.
"Well, Jasper must strange
brood with it, Dickens replied.

PARIS, May 9.-There is gloom

the all-night resorts are aghast and

AS the national currency goes up
and up in value the patriotic owners
of the pleasure palaces feel their
hearts dropping lower and lower.
The foreign element, without which
the cafes couldn't exist, is going off
to other climes where a pound ster.

what their possessors have been ac-
customed to for more than year.

The Americans and English who
didn't care at all when they had to
pay twenty francs a drink at the
bar when that meant only forty
cents or two shillings think twice
about 1t when a round of drinks costs
more than night club in New York

for champagne two or three months
ago represented an expenditure OF
four. dollars, or less than a pound.
Now it represents almost double
that figure. No wonder the night
