AS Princess of Wales Queen Mary
devoted a great deal of time to her
children and her home.
There was trouble at times with King
Edward over the way she kept out of
social engagements and the little en-
tertaining she and her husband did at
Marlborough House.
Once Queen Alexandra asked her to
attend big dinner party given by the
late Lord Rothschild, which the Queen
and King Edward were to attend.
Wasn't Asked Often.
The princess begged to be excused
A few hours later King Edward arrived
and asked her to attend the party. The
princess did not think 1t right to say
mo" to her father-in-law.
We'll, May" said the King, you
refused to do what the Queen asked.
am glad you have not the face to re-
fuse me-"
But the princess created SO much diff
ficulty about attending functions of this
kind that King Edward did not often
ask her.
1T is too much like hard work getting
May to do what she does not want TO
do" he remarked.
The Princess of Wales, however
recognized that she must attend GER
tain number of functions and do
certain amount of entertaining at Marl-
borough House, and she did this in a
thoroughly systematic way, allotting
three days each month when in London
to entertaining or attending social
functions. The Prince of Wales left
all such arrangements entirely in her
hands
Marlborough House, when King
George was Prince of Wales and he
and his wife made it their London
home, became a very different place
from the days when it was the home
of King Edward as Prince of Wales.
A Determined HOusekeeper.
One of the first things Queen Mary
did when she became Princess of Wales
was to request the commissioner of
public works to come to see her.
1t must be explained that MARI
borough House, as the official residence
of the heir to the throne, is kept in re-
pair by the Office of public works, a
state department.
The commissioner was taken in a lift
to a landing where the Princess Of
Wales awaited. She showed him three
rooms adjoining each other.
Il wish these knocked into one"
said the princess. "I want to use them
as playroom for my children"
The commissioner bowed, took out his
notebook, and said he would bring
your royal highness' wishes before
the treasury, which will no doubt take
steps as soon as possible to obtain the
consent of Parliament to carry out the
proposed work"
Wants Action in Week!
But want the work begun next
week." said the princess.
The commissioner gaSped. In the

first place the request to make any
structural alteration in a dwelling that
was state property was almost un-
heard of.
The consent of the cabinet certainly
would have to be obtained, and there
was the question of the cost, which
would, of course, have to be granted by
a vote in the House of Commons. It
would be at least six months before
the preliminary steps could be taken.
But the commissioner did not under
stand the woman he had to deal with.
The princess listened to his explana-
ton and then said:
well, 1 shall have the work started
next week myself AS the office of
works will most decidedly have to pay
for it in the long run, ! would prefer
that your officer undertake to carry out
the work, rather than myself"
The commissioner left, and in 4 DAYS
he had obtained consent of the treas

to work the princess desired at any of
the royal palaces.
A FIabbergasted Chef.
They had a first-rate chef at Marl-
borough House, with three assistants.
The chef cooked only dinner, and did
not as a rule arrive at Marlborough
House until about 6 in the evening. His
assistants prepared lunch and tea and
any other meal that might be required.
One evening, when the chief chef
arrived, he heard that the princess
had come down to inspect the Kitchens
that day.
The chef nearly tainted from
establishment. That the princess should

my kitchens" staggered him. Then
anger overcame his establishment No
one, not even the Princess of Wales,
should be allowed into his kitchens
without his consent H..
But after dinner that night the chef
received another shock. The princess
desired to see him. For a moment he
hesitated then went to the princess in
her boudoir. The chef was hidden to
sit down, and then he listened to frank
criticisms, spoken in his native French.
Of certain arrangements In the kitchens
the princess disapproved,
Chefs Anger CoOIs.
The chef clenched his hands; was
ever a great chef spoken to like this?
He wouldn't stand it! Then he looked
at the calm. cool, determined face of
the lady addressing him, and he sat
still until with a quiet gesture the
princess dismissed him An hour later
in a club in London where great chefs
foregather, he was telling his listeners
a tale that left them the most aston
ished men in London.
The 10 years during which King
George was Prince of Wales we're quiet
and not very eventful in the life OF
Queen Mary. They we're on the whole
happy years.
One afternoon the princess and heI
husband were summoned to Bucking-
ham Palace King Edward had a chill
and was in bed. The doctors were
apprehensive.
The prince and princess had an in

he was John Curry, suddenly arose and
pushed the detective from the platform.

RATIFYING PACT
Grain Purchase in the
USSR Increases

(WireteSs to the Daily W0rker)
MOSCOW, u. S. S. R., Feb. 19.-
The Isvestia comments on the rati-
fication of the protocol between the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics
and other states by the Central
Executive Committee of the Soviet
Union, and declares that the cause
of peace demands the speedy ratifi-
cation of the other signatories.
But Isvestia adds that Litvinoff is
right, however, when he says that
the Kellogg pact is insufficient to
ensure peace; only disarmament en-
sures peace.
Grain Purchase Greater.
A leading article in Pravda con-
tains figures in regard to the grain
purchase, which totals 6,446, 900 tons
in seven months, compared with g.
4l8,000 tons in the same period last
year. SiXty-six per cent of the pro-
gram is carried out, says Pravda,
compared with 61 per cent of the
program at the same time last year
Pravda indicates, however, that
there are difficulties ahead. as the
rich peasants are holding back their
grain. Still, Pravda continues, the
prospects are favorable without the
application Of extraordinary meas
ures. There are good grain supplies
in Siberia, Kasakstan, Bashkira and
the Volga districts, where the grain
purchase has not yet begun.
