QUEENS TALLER
S
London, April 14—Suffragettes
who arc prone to emphasize the
decadence of the male species have
discovered a handy argument in the
comparative stature of the kings and
queens of Europe. Nearly all the
monarchs are shorter than their |
wives. George of England is several |
inches less than Queen Mary in j
height. The German Empress is |
so much taller than her husband
that the Kaiser usually has her sit
down when they are photographed I
together. The Czarina makes her j
husband look like Mr. Pip when j
sho stands beside him, Queen Ena
of Spain is nearly a head taller than
Alfonso, and King Victor of Italy
barely reaches the shoulder of
Queen Helene.
The regular weekly work meet
ing of the Woman's Church Aux
iliary will be hold in the Annex
