QUEEN’S HOLIDAY IN CORSICA
(Rec. 10 p.m.) LONDON, March 9. When the Queen flies to Corsica on Saturday, she will start the most complete holiday she has had since she came to the Throne, says the “Daily Mail.” No State papers will be sent to her, and she will only be contacted by telephone in an emergency. To make her trip even more informal she is taking only three members of her staff —hep private secretary. a lady-in-waiting and a personal maid. There will be no equerries and no hairdresser. The Duke of Edinburgh will do some undersea fishing during the cruise. Afterwards he will spend some time with his aunt, the dowager Marchioness of Milford Haven, at her Riviera home.
Latent Talent.— Four years ago, at the age of 66. Manuel Marin, a carpenter of La Solana, Castille, in Spain, was by mistake hit on the head with a hammer. Soon after he felt the urge to write, and has since written 20 novels anc * short stories, earning £ 4000.—London. March 8.
