One depicted the Prince of \\ ales, aged and bearded, marrying' the daughter of an English landlady. The tiin^ of the supposed marriage was set in 1972. It Is entitled: " 'Long choosing and beginning late.' "The basis for the caricature is the Prince of Wales' apparent aversion to marriage. There was, however, a storm of protest from press and pub lic and the caricature was with drawn." The Weekly Aux Ecoutes of Paris prints a story in which it says on "inside authority" that the Prince of Wales lias decided to renounce the throne in favor of the Duke of York. "Wed? Not even for a crown!" is practically the attitude of the Prince of Wales, according to Aux Ecoutes, which says, among other things: "Queen Mary Is Insistent that he marry, but the prince will not listen, especially since during his voyage to India his parents married off his sis ter, Princess Mary, whom he desired to see the wife of his friend and com rade, Lord Louis Mount battenf to Lord Lascelles. The prince did not even send a wedding present to his sister. During the last season Queen Mary privately tord the Duches3 of Cun nuught, 'Edward will marry this year.' "The duchess thereupon arranged a 1 grand reception at which the news was scheduled to be given out. But the prince stayed at home, sending the Duke of York, to whom he said: " 'Tell them If they want a king. I am here; but if they must have a queen, too, then I renounce In your favor.' " Really, you know, one of England's chief worries, even in these parlous times of reconstruction, seems to be Just what to do with His Itoyal High ness the Prince of Wales. My word! He should have married long ago and given Great Britain a future queen and a whole fleet of little princes and princesses. Instead, when George and Mary talk marriage to him, he gives them the bird. When the Lon don press picks out a new bride for him he goes steeplecliaslng. When the whole empire shudders and pro tests because his horse falls, he gets a better mount and wins. When he should be on hand at some heavy state function he sends the Duke of York In his stead. With unmoved serenity he sees the advent of Princess Mary's Master Lascelles and the marriage of Mythical Proteus In classical mythology Proteus was Neptune's herdman, a prophetic old man who had charce of Amphltrlte's seals. This aged man of the sea could tell all things, the past, the present and the future, but would only do so under compulsion. According to Homer, Pro teus dwelt on the Island of Carpathus, between Rhodes and Crete. The only method by which It was possible to obtain information from Proteus was VTSCOimr -AMD mmcess xtary' Jnf&rntthona/ fVroiv the puke of Yofk to Lady Elisabeth Bowes-Lyon. \ Apropos of the story printed by the Paris Au\ Ecoutes, here is the Brit ish version corroborating it : Duke: "Carry on ? marry Hetty! (Lady Elisabeth Bowes-Lyon). I never will. And what isf more, iearn to b^ King of England. I never will he." ) And what are they going to do about it? ? that's part- of the British worry. Parliament, of course, is su- , preme, but can it order the prince to marry or to stop steeplechasing? All joking aside, il is probably no exaggeration to say that the I'rince of Wales is the "constant worry of his parents and the disappointment of the English people." j .Anyway, the Prince of Wales has had a good time since 1919. o In that year, fresh from four years of war, he was sent out to conquer the do minions of the British empire. And he did a good job. All through 1919 and 1920 England read with thrills the Odyssey of Its princely young am bassador. Comes the summer season 1921. H. R. H. Is twenty-seven. It finds him still a bachelor. Most prospective kings are married at twenty-seven, with heirs. So the English press be gins to pick out a future queen of Eng land. One after another royal young woman is tentatively chosen. But II. R. H. says never u word In ap proval. One after another the select ed brides go into the discard ? bars of religion, nationality, caste or looks, you know. Then vox populi, through the press, begins to suggest a bride from the English nobility' and nnother succes sion of tentative candidates. And so on up into 1922. And now the prince has become a young man about town. > "At eight in the morning Wales is up and driving his car to a meet of the Pytchley or the Quorn, where he proceeds to fall oft his horse," says Ferdinand Twohy In the New York Wcrld. "At midday he is photographed drinking champagne at a point-to point meeting at which, In the course of the afternoon he Is thrown at the water Jump and photographed emerg ing Neptunelike, a dripping, draggly mass. And so back to London to din to surprise him as he slept In his great cave at noon surrounded by his seals, seizing and binding him. Even when -surprised and ruptured In this manner, he would endeavor to escape by chang ing into a great many different shapes ? such as that of lire, water, a tree, a snake, a lion. If, however, his captor did not permit him to go until he gave the truthful answer required of him ns a seer, he would nnswer and then plunge into the sea. There Is a saying about having "as many shapes as Pro teus-? meaning "expert In disguises," / i ? ? ner at the Rltz or the Claridge, with anybody who can afford $5 to say that they dined 'with the l'rinee of Wales.' And so on to a revue, some bright and tuneful mental narcotic. One show, called the 'Nine o'Clock Itevue,' he has seen 10 times in three months, always sitting in the stalls and uever in a box, and going behind the scenes be tween the acts to chat with members of the company, or else standing sip ping at the bar. All excellent stuff ? but think of Buckingham palace! Twelve o'clock the show is over. With his gay companions, of which Lord Burghersh is the chief, II. R. II. re pairs to the Quern's hall or Grufton Gallery Dance club, sometimes Escort ing a society lady, such as Mrs. Dud | ley Ward; sometimes a beautiful young actress, such as Bea'rice Lillie. All excellent stuff? but think of Buck [ ingham palace! And so to bed, some times in St. James' palace, sometimes in Clarges street. And then the round begins again." Of course all this ha^ Its amusing side, especially to an American. "Still," says the New York Tim^s, "one can not avoid the fact that the Prince of Wales is heir-apparent to a throne of some importance in the world," and the Times goes on to say : "The Duke of York has lived hith erto with his parents. The prince has traveled, perhaps too much. Never resting, the restless instinct has been overdeveloped. For years at a time he has wandered homeless, doing his bit. HeMs so utterly popular that, in public esteem, there are now no new worlds for him to conquer. He has already exhausted all the first thrills of kingship. He has passed beyond the Illusions." So, under the circumstances. It Is not to "be wondered that the British public is asking In whispers: "What is behind it all?" ^ It's a fair question. Is this young prince, who seemed destined to be the idol of his countrymen, merely a ilghtwit and an Idler? Those who know him well say lie Is not. They assert that he's, the stuff of which real leaders are made. Why, then, his shirking of his obvious duty, as the British public sees that duty? London sees no answer to, this question. It whispers about a possi ble uufortunate affair of the heart, but cannot find the lady in the case. ? Finally, the speculation gets down to this: Does His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales really want to ascend the throne? Only 8lightly Changed. An instructor In a church school where much attention was paid to sacred history, dwelt particularly on the phrase: "And Enoch was not, for God took hits." So many times was this repeated in connection with the death of Enoctu that he thought even the dullest pupil would answer cor rectly when asked In examination: State In exact language of the Bible what Is said of Enoch's death. But this was the answer he got: "Enoch was not what God took him for." O.

Fairy Ybab had gone out into the woods to practice some new music which she was going to teach to the members of the Fairios* orchestra. She had been singing the runes to her self as she made them up, trying them over and over again to see where she could make improvements. Then she had stopped to speak to the group of Indian Pipes which she had seen. "Yes," the Indian Pipe continued, "we are so different, so unusual, and children like us and they like our in teresting name. "We i are fond of the family carne ourselves. It's a nice name for a group of plants, we think. It has al ways been the family name, too: We have lived in these woods many years. And when I say that, you know, I mean our family has lived here. Oh, yes, my great-great-great-grandmother and grandfather used to see Indians coming quietly through the woods. Oh, how quietly they could walk, scarcely rustling the leaves as they moved along. i ? "We children have been told of all that. And such excitement as there used to be in these old days. Such excitement! You see, we're all brave plants or flowers, or whatever yon would call us. Oh, yes! We don't hang on to each other We don't cling as vines do. Vines haven't half the strength of character we have, though vines have their own sweet, lovely ways. "I don't want to say anything against vines. Vines are so good about giving shade and they make porches so pretty, and they do a great deal to add In mnltlng the world love lier than ever. Anything or any num ber of things doing that should never be criticized. But you see how we are! We're different, that's all. "We are all solitary, single, alone. Each one of us (lowers is by itself. You know how some flowers are clus tered together ? many little flowers In one group. But each of us has just one flower standing all by itself. , " "You seie. too, how we haven't even any leaves with which to shield our selves. You can always tell us when you see us, for we are so unlike any other plants or ferns. U&ially a number of us make our home around a certain part of the woods. We dear ly love the woods, and in the woods you should look if you want to find us. "Yes, each one is by itself. Each "Children Like Us." one has its own stem and each one lias Just one white llovver hanging over its stem. "Many other flowers grow together on a single stem ? lots of them to oue stem. And we're all white! You'll find no green leaves ubout us, nor any green or brown stem. Our flow ers have little black spots about them, and when the bud of a flower Is closed It looks dark at the top. We're brit tle, something like some kinds of candy, easy to break otT. "But . we're not good to eat. I sop pose people thought we looked like an Indian's Pipe and so that was why we were named this name. We do look something like a white pipe, It Is true. "But I have always heard how the family said we were flowers of the woods and that the Indians, too, loved the great forests and the silept places and the dark trees and the unknown paths. And so we all think it Is be cause we, too, are something like the Indians tliat we have such a name. We stay still. We do not go ubout. We're not like Indians' arrows. But we're like Indians when they sat smoking quietly. Yes, we're like In dians when they were quiet, when they were sitting In the woods thinking of the adventures they had bad nnd of the adventures they were going to liave, of the beauty and the stillness and the loveliness of great, dark, mys terious. wonderful trees. "Of course we're white, and Indians are always called Red Men. But If we were Just like Indians we wouldn't be called anything else but Indians. We're flowers with many of the same ways as those thrilling Red Men. And we look like pipes. Ob, we're very proud of the family name!" What Small James Learned. Small James, upon his return home from his first visit to Sunday school, was asked by his mother what he had learned." "Oh. mamma." he replied enthusias tically.

Of Mattliew little' is known, even his birth place is concealed. Our first sight of him is seated at the toll booth Collecting tuxes. The tax gatherer was hated by the loyal Jews because he collected taxes for the alien gov ernment under whose yoke they were galling. This hate was the more bit ter because of the extortion usually practiced by those in rule. From the meager accounts we find that Matthew was: 1. A Man of Decision. We do not know whether he had ever seen or heard of Jesus before this time, but we note that he at once arose and followed Jesus. Without doubt, there were many things to concern him. It was no little task to break off from his business which apparently was very lucrative. 2. He Was a Humble Man. In chapter 10, verse 3, the order in which he gives his own name and the fact that he designates himself a "pub lican" would ahow that lie did not overestimate himself. 3. He Possessed Force of Cliaructer. This, Is shown in the fact that he gave a feast and invited his friends in to see and hear his Lord. He had two names, Levi, which means "attached" or "joine^j," and Matthew, which means "gift of je junal!." Most likely Matthew was the n.'ine assumed after his conver sion. II. Mattnev/s Call or Conversion (Math. 9:9); 1. As Jesus Passed By, He "Saw a Man." He saw the possibilities which were in Matthew. He saw through the hated profession of a tax gatherer the shining possibilities of his man hood and npostleship. He saw In him the man fit to perceive and portray the Messiabshipof the Redeemer. The divine grace was revealed in this call. Jesus sees what is in man regardless of name or profession. 2. Matthew's Response (v. 0). He acted witn decision and promptness; he loft his business behind him. When Jesus said, '"Follow Me," Matthew perceived tliat greater than man had spoken to him. May we yield oar selves unto Iliin and render such sim ple obedience that our actions may be but the echoes of the divine voice in commanding. Two things In Mat thew's compliance prove the genuine ness of his conversion : 1. "He Left All" (Luke ,r?:28). Iteal conversion aiivays results in the for saking of all that Is contrary to Jesus, such as illegitimate business, wiched associates and worldly^ pleasures, etc. 2. "Followed Jesys." Following Jesus means the commitment of oge's life to Him for full r?Ivation, aban donment of the will th Him to do whatsoever He wills}/ and a \sining ness to suffer, and even die, if need be, for Him. III. Matthew Made ft Great Feast (Luke 5:29-32). This -.least was made In honor of his newljf-found Savior. His conversion was s? real that he wanted his friends 1p become ac quainted with his Sailor. He was not ashamed tr, confens his Lord be fore them. He showed real tact In making a supper. ll?n will come to a feast much more reldlly than they will to a sermon. A great company of sinners came, who doubtless hod been Matthew's compi<3ions In sin. He now desired them to become his brothers in Christ. The Scribes and Pharisees were astonished that Jesus would appear in comi*iiny with such a motley crowd of disreputable per sons. They were toj cowardly to speak to Jesus but tlHy came to the disciples. Jesus championed their cause and battled His adversaries. His reasoning was unanswerable. A physician's place Is among the sick. Only those who are diseased should come to the doctor's house. Sinc? spiritual matters are more impor tance than physical, J tsus was more than justified In belnjj In the center of those who were morally sick that He might heal them of their malndies. He came to call sinner* to repentance. Our Conreitlnee. If conscience smite thee once It Is ?b admonition; if twlre, It is a con demnation. Itepose is as necessary ia conversation as in a picture. ?
