H The Stuart line of Kings had begun to reign over England when Queen Elfzabeth died in 1603. And a sorry lot they were! The first of them—| James I—was a dunce and a coward.

The person who firmly resolves before starting on @ trip to enjoy to the utmost every little pleasure that comes along and not to mind the many petty amnoy- ances that are sure to arise, makes the ideal traveller, Most books of etiquette take pains to warn the unwary aguinst making acquaintances en route. Now, as to the worth of such advice, I should say it all depends upon who the traveller is. A young girl who js alone must be vory circumspect, She should never speak to any strange man, If it is necessary for her to make an inquiry she should ask the conductor or the brakeman. If men speak to her she should by her man- ner show them plainly that their at- tentions are unwelcome, for she can be certain that no man who is truly a gentleman will try to enter into conversation with her unless he has been properly introduced. If a man who sits near her offers to lower or raise a window or to place a heavy bag or bundle on the rack It {s per- haps only the polite thoughtfulnoss of & gemieman, and the courtesy should be rewarded by a hearty “Thank you,” and the incident closed.

George was fifty-four. He was German to the backbone and took no pride in his small percentage of English blood. “ He did not care for England or for anything that was English. He took so little interest in his new rank and in hia new subjects that he did not bother to come to England at all until nearly two months after he became King. And always after that he would make pretexts to steal away to his beloved Hanover for long visits.
