THE RINEHART-UTTLE PIANO COMPANY E DEPOT S1REE1 MHAFFEY BLDG Character Study of the Distinguished Sovereign Who Was Europe's First Diplomat and Head of the Greatest Empire In History of the World Br JAMES A. EDCERTON. PERHAPS tie chief trait of Kin; Edward VII. was tact lie was tie master of form, of fash ion, of etiquette. He was an embodiment f that much misused word "gentleman," an Incarnation of the conventional and the correct lie was blab priest of the gospel of cos torn. With him courtesy was a fine art and osage was the highest authori ty. ' While his life knew many scan dals, they were so decorous that they wen forgiven. He was the gentleman even in bis rices. As Prince of WaleB his role was a difficult one difficult In the sense that, while be was next to the throne and often called upon to represent the throne, yet be must never virtin the hnnnds Hurt assume an? of the prerogatives of the crown. The universal testimony is that he was let ter perfect !t5 the role. As king he showed another aspect of the same quality, lie was bis own foreign min ister, the first diplomat of Europe. Here be was In a larger field of form, the etiquette nf. nation.. "-It was the one field whk-u by Unlit and training be was best fitted to fill. ' His nice observance of the proprieties extend ed to Internal affairs. While he was king in fact as well as name, he never went beyond the close limits that free England bad set about bis office. To put It In a word, he never made breaks. Despite bis punctilious regard for the formalities, it is said that the late kins personally disliked fuss and i feathers. If so he managed to conceal ithe fact most effectually. He prob- any other man on earth, except the kaiser. If he did not enjoy that sort of thing he was both a great martyr and a great actor. It does seem rather I amushig that modern up to date na t Hons rig out their lring3 in plumes and glitter and ribbons like a schoolgirl or a butler, but perhaps it is no more ) arousing than the fact that they have kings at all. Maybe the two things go together and are In keeping. But it is not surprising that the gorge of a full grown man should rise at it So If Edward did not like fuss and feath ers the fact is much to bis credit " Hi Genial Popularity."

This was true when be was Prince of Wales, and true when be was king. It was fre quently stated that, if Great Britain were a republic and plain Albert Ed ward Wettin offered himself as an In dependent candidate for the presiden cy be would have been elected by an Immense majority. An amusing though touching Illustration of bis general popularity comes to mind. An Aus tralian gentleman was once in London and. observing a carriage with two mounted policemen in front asked his own bus driver as to what personage was Inside the closed carriage. "What: Her was the reply. "Dont chcr know? That's fe most grysbusr "What: The king?' V "Yuss; thnt's Mm, right enpujrh." Surprise was expressedthaT the e j cort was so smnll. How were these two policemen to protect the king in case of a row? The driver laughed, -"v "Why, 'oo's goin' to 'urt.'ii. mister? There ain't no one In London ud touch r "air of Ms 'ead.
