EXAMPLE TO WOMENKIND

PRAISE FOR QUEEN MARY. THREE TIRING DAYS. London, Feb. 25. ‘‘One cannot help wishing that the National Anthem sometimes was sung, ‘‘God Save the Queen,” says the ‘‘Daily Mail,” in referring to Queen Mary’s three tiring days at the British Industries Fair at Olympia. ‘‘How many women half the age of our wonderful Queen could face her strenuous public duties without evasions and complaints; how many could endure cold and fatigue for hours, or standing, unable to relax, for hours, together with suffering the inevitable shopping headache, and still be fresh and smiling at the end of the day?” the article asks. “The Queen,” it is added, “brings expert feminine knowledge to bear on the innumerable materials displayed, praising and encouraging everything that appeals to her as enterprising and good. “The sales of anything the Queen buys soar like a rocket, not merely because she is the Queen, but because she buys with great good sense, shrewdness and taste. “The Queen is a shopping guide for all Englishwomen. She works harder than most society women. She is unable to go on pleasure cruises whe" tired, but remains at her post. : : ’ works indefatlgably and cheerfully one of the nation’s most williiq workers.”
