On December* 14th, M05, the second sonotthsDukeandDuchessofYork' was born, and christened at Band- rmgmrn church, alum. _nodes-ici: Gegle M the ceremony. the Duke went to the church ilrst, cenylng little David; the Duchess followed with the nurse and baby Albert, or Bertie as be was generally called. Bertie was not so strong as his elder brctiharlbutwithlnayearhe hadoutt- grow his delicacy.

The birth of this second child made

York Cottage must again be enlarged After Bert.ie's binth a new wing was added, containing day and night nurseries. And so tba little f

marsh medows and heather-cove hillainithehousewfhichwasmorea home than ever before,

The farms attached to the cottage

had fallen lnito some dlsuse, but now the Duke turned his attention to re- stocking them with animals of the but breeds. York Cottage, like Sandringhsni Manor, was a place of many pets, and little Prince David's love of animals was always encour- aged by his parents. 'Caesar*, his zfa.nd1ather's dog. was a great favor- ite, and it was pretty to see the pair romplng together. Once the Duke asked his small son what he would do ii’ he were King and the answer the child gave was surprising. "When I am King, l shall make three laws," he said gravely. .“No one shall out the tails off little dogs, or

fish with hooks, or use V bearing- relns to hurt horses.

The Duke always insisted that he

erred rather on the side of hardness with his children, and he remarked One diy. when he and the Duchess were entertaining friends at tea, that ha was a strong believer ln. dis- cipline for the young - At that mom- ent his eldest son entered, very cherublc in a while sailor suit.

"Who do you like best, darling,

Father or Mother?" asked one mis- guided lady. "Both the same," the small boy answered, but added, "Dada spoils me most."

The Duke still continued to add to

his wonderful stamp-collection, buy- ing and exchanging stamps in the ordinary way, and refusing to take advantage of his position to obtain them in any easier marmer. Once a young msn in a City financial omce advertised that his stamp-collection was for sale and could be seen at

his lodgings. A stranger called, chose some stamps; not until he was leaving was hc recognised as the Duke of York.

But these and all his other pleas-

ures and hobbies were subordinate to State work, which began to eiicro- ach more and more on his time, as he gradually undertook more of the the tasks which fell to his _father. At first, the necessary speecii-making was somewhat of s trial, and he took infinite pains in preparing what he had to say ai: dinners and elsewhere. until he had become the effective and sincere speaker of to-day.

The present Prince of Wales, on the

contrary, began his speech-making at

'a very early age. His first effort was

‘made at a childrens party, when he

was presented with a sword by his hostess. Solemnly the small boy mounted a clialr, and said ili rlcar tunes and with much dignity: "'J.‘iiank you for giving me such a beautiful sword. I shall always keep it and remember this night." Where at. the Duke of York turned aside with the murmured remark:-“Little wretchl l-Ie speaks much better than I do."

The year 1897 was an eventful one

for the inmates of York Cottage, as it was for the Empire-that year of the Diamond Jubilee. On April 25th a baby daughter was bom to the Duke and Duchess, a. lovely ‘ plnk-and- white, golden-haired child, the image of what her mother had been before he. She was’ christened Victoria 'Alexandra Mary, and from the first Princess Mary was adored by bein her father and brothers. \

The following June 22nd was the

oiilcial Day of Queen Victorias Jubi- lee, to which the Premiers of all the Dominions had been invited. and which brought to Inndon an unpre- cedented number of visitors froxi'i,`Ell` parts of the world. In England it was felt that some outstanding good work should be inaugurated to .com- memorate the occasion. and the Prince of Wales. with the hclp of the Duke, suggested a scheme which received tremclubus P°i>uilr support. to free the great London Hospitals from debt. - ‘

A new Blade

A new Razor

THE GREATEST SHAVING

. IMPROVEMENT IN 28 YEARS

MRLIONS of well-worn Gillette: are now going

to win an honorable discharge. Sure - they’re

good old razors! And if you have to wait for your dealer to get his supply of the New Gillette Razor, your old Gillette will operate with the new blades.

What have we done to the Gillette Razor and the Gillette Blade? Not one thing, or two things or three. We have made a dozen important changes. _ '

Take "razor pull," for example. Our laboratories

examined tens of thousands of used razors; our engineers talked to twenty-seven thousand hard-ro- sarisfy shavers.

What did they find? A razor "pulls"' because its

working parts have been dropped 'and dented on floor or wash basin.

Perhaps the dent is microscopic. _lust the same it

makes a. difference. When you handle a Gillette, you are dealing with a fine precision tooL Even the smallest den: can throw it out of alignment. Hence "pull/’ Now look at the corners of the new razor. See those heavy lugs? You can't dent those corners by any ordinary accident. But suppose, by some ter- rific abuse, you should dent them. Never mind. The ends "of the blade “have been cut out. The blade is no longer held at the corners. Therefore, a deng- ed raz:-:-corner can't possibly affect the smoothness of your shave.

Another ching. The new blades are processed to resist rust. Think what that means in convenience and time saving. No more do you have ~to take the razor apaft to wipe the blade. No more cut towels.

]usc loosen. Turn guard at right angles. Then re- lighten. Hold under hor running water for rinsing. Shake well. Lay on the shelf. - '

The old posts are gone. How many a good edge

was lost by bumping against those posts. Now the razor blade turns at right angles for rinsing. No taking apart for cleaning.

Notice the new guard teeth . . . longer _ . . turned back farther. They glide over the skin like velvet. You hardly feel the razor slide over your face.

See the ends of the blade . . . square . . . not

round. Much easier to handle with slippery fingers. And, being almost flush with the mp, the blade shavcs much better around the difficult corners of the mouth, ears, and nose. The famous guard chan-

nel beneath the blade edge allows the blade ro meer che beard full and clear, yer with perfect safety. This has hitherto been an ex- clusive' feature of high prilted Gillettes selling at $5.00 to $75.00. Now you have it in the $1.00 model.

Fir!! SUIT OF BOYS CLOTHES The little Prince was thrilled by all

the splendor, but still more by the fact that he was wearing his ru-st suit of boy'.s clothes, a fact which he kept repeating to his father as they drove through the wildly-cheeringi crowds. `

p The Duke himself did not play so large a part in the celebrations as his father, but the ceremonies influ-

'enced him more than hc perhaps

realised. The mightiness of the Empire over which he would some day rule was brought home to him; his

serious _talks with several oi’ the _pverseas premiere told him how strong the bond of Empire was. One day a notable from overseas told the Duke: "You should send your boy overseas when he is oldcr: There is nothing which ccments friendship between the Home country and the Colonies so nfueli as s friendly visit from royalty." How prophetic those words were. .

In August, the Duke and Ducheas

paid a visit to Ireland, and were given a tremendous reception atlilnglfnwn after a terrible creasing. They opened Lady-,Cadogan's Irish 'Rxtile lxliibition. and when a pretty little
