Kretsrhmar, 1'rlnce Consort on the anniversary of his death. During the lifetime of the "ate Queen Victoria the anniversary 'f the death of her husband wns al ways marked by impressive services held in Progniore Mausoleum, near Windsor Caotle. The Qiippii attended those services In person and more over Insisted that the Prince of Wales and other members of the royal family should be present. It was customary on these occasions to have an elab orate musical hirnlshcd by the choir of St. Oeorge's Chapel and directed by Sir Walter Parratt. King Edward, though the love he bears the memory of bin father Is well known, hat taken his customary practical view of the matter and de rided that the time has come to abandon th observance, in future memorial exercises for the Prince Consort and also for Pilmvss Alice, whose death ocuirred at the same time, will be held In conjunction with the anniversary scrvlie tor Queen Victoria.

Do you really think It right to teach the children that there is such a per son as Santa Claus, when all the while you know there Isn't, and when you know too that bofore long they will inevitably discover tho deception. Many conscientious mothers ask this question seriously.

She de clared that the only way to solve the housemaid problem was to insist that employes In every department of housework should have a technical education before they got employment She also thought that diplomas should be given housemaids after one year of employment In a family, such di plomas to be signed by the executive committee of the association.

The Wisconsin state labor bureau has been collecting reasons why girls prefer work In factories and stores to houiohold service. Inquiries were sent to 700 persons. Among the an swers were these: "If ladles would only give girls better rooms, kinder treatment and wanner beds and let them live Independently, more girls would do housework:" "I went into the factory because I wanted t be treated like a human being;" "Un reason I won't do housework Is he cause I will not be treated like half a slave and always a nobody;" "I love housework, but, like the mofct of other girls, I refuse to do It under present conditions;" "None of the girls I know would do housework, because a girl who does It Is always looked upon as a kitchen drudge, always on duty and seldom treated Justly;" "I am troated better In the factory in every way, and. besides.
