stairs and shout:
oh, Miss Cole, the Prince an
Princess of Siam is heah!"
Prince SvaSti, father of the Queen
Of Siam, seated his royal wife and him
self on two comfortable chairs in the
lounge, set off on one side of the main
hallway.
Meanwhile aroused by the unusual
clamor, curious apartment jewellers ap-
peared from every nook and Granny
and, sensing the suppressed excitement
pervading the apartment, milled about
helplessly until the manager came to
the rescue This able executive with
the tact of a field marshel lined up
the crowd at some distance where they
might, without embarrassing the nota-
bles, gaze to their hearts content at
waiting royalty.
Finally the Misses Cole and Miss
Mcfarland came upon the scene and
warmly received their old friends OF
far away Siam. Whereupon the group
departed in official automobiles with
uniformed outriders for the rendezvous
to enjoy 1880 dinner.

Science
QuirLs Block" Thinking
On Simples Problems.

Automatic blocking" curious self
protective action of mans mental
mechanism, Is reported in the American
Journal of Psychology by DR.. Arthur G.
Bliss of the University of Chicago.
Students were tested on a series OF
easy mental tasks requiring answers to
simple problems in rapid succession.
For example, a long list Of digits was
shown and the subject asked to add and
subtract three alternately and as rap
idly c3 possible as he went down the
list.
1t was found that two or three times
each minute there was short pause,
during which the student was unable
10 make any response. These blocks"
followed a rhythmic order for each in
dividual. The mind seemed to pause of
its own accord to gather strength for
fresh output of energy. The responses
showed a tendency to bunch" around
the central point between the halts.
DIR. Bliss interprets the phenomenon
as "a periodic breakdown in some part
Of the central nervous system" He be-
lieves the blocks" are closely asso-
ciated with errors in clerical work and
that blocking" is new principle in
mental fatigue" T. r. H.

VI AAoO"SS'
v row Princess Svasti of Siam slip
ped away from King PraJad-
hipoks party long enough to
1 / pay an unscheduled visit here
to a venerable lady who had
taught her English years ago has just
come to light.
The unusual honor was accorded Miss
Harriet Cole, who, with her sister, had
come to Washington from their home in
st. Joseph, Mo, to attend the D. A. r.
convention. Both sisters, octogenarlans,
became acquainted with the princess
while teaching in Bangkok, capital OF
Siam. about &c years ago.
Looking back through the vista Oh
colorful years, the sisters lived again
their fascinating days of work in the
toyland kingdom. They recalled how
out of the blue sky a happy change in
their routine was developed when it was
whispered along the usual routes that
soon Princess Svasti, sister of King
Prajadhipok of Siam, was to begin her
English course. Attendants at the royal
court had been commissioned to seek
out suitable inStructreSS for her and,
wonder of wonders, Miss Harriet was
chosen to fill the position.
Won Princess Affection.
With her pleasant nature, friendly
manner and sound teaching abilities,
the elder sister soon won the confidence
and affection of the prir -css. Once this
was accomplished her English lessons
progressed rapidly until in the course OF
five happy years the American teacher
completed her instruction. Her charge
had mastered the difficult Western
tongue and the teachers work was fin
ished. The Misses Cole shortly there
after terminated their Sojourn in Siam
and returned to the United States to
settle again in their Missouri home.
During the years that followed the
sisters kept up n correspondence with
the princess So with this bond it was
only natural that the sisters eagerly an
ticipated the D. A. R. Congress, which
would bring them to washington to
meet their friends.
with the. end of the convention, and
the royal visitor not yet arrived, the
sisters prolonged their Washington
visit to await the princess arrival.
While here they were the guests of
Miss Mary Mcfarland at the Cecil
Apartment. The Misses Cole invited
the princess to tea on the day follow
ing her arrival in Washington.
Her royal highness regretted her in
ability to come to tea due to previous
engagements, but to her hostesses' Joy,
she suggested dining with them instead
on the same day. A nearby restaurant
was selected as suitable for the enter
tainment of royalty. The maitre
d'hotel of the Pierre, M. Emil, was
forwith requested to arrange for a
party that night.
Royal Party Arrives.
AS time approached the hour of 6
when the princess was due to arrive,
the hostesSes added last-minute touches
to their evening toilettes while eXcitedly
discussing the social triumph they were
about to enjoy.

in the apartment had that day gone
out of commission. The elevator boy,
who attended the switchboard as well,

he got his first glimpse of royalty, but
