On December* 14th, M05, the second

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-

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. - ‘
Sunday, the 20th, was a day of

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

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. .
