t baa been definitely settled that the
('erman crown prince Hiid princess ate to
represent the court of Herein at the coro
nation. The.y will probably he accom
panied to Kngland by Frince and 1'rlncess
Henry of FYuksIh. who were the official
representatives of the court of Berlin at
Klnif Kdward'a coronation. Trince and
l'rlncoss Henry will not be present at the
ceremonial at Westminster Abbey as rela
tives and not officially, no they will be
placed along with other members of the
royal family and not with the representa
tives of foreign courts.
The emperor of Russia Is to be repre
acnted by his" brother, the Orand Imke
Michael Alexandrovltch. who will very
likely be accompanied, to Kngland by his
cousin, the Grand Duke Dlmltrl Faulo
vltch. The Kniperor Francis Joseph will
be represented by the Archduke Francis
Ferdinand and the Archduke Francis Jo

come from Stockholm, the Duke of Aosta
from JtHly, the crown prince of Denmark
and probably Prince Waldemar from Cop
enhagen, the Duke of Sparta and Prince
f!eorge of Greece from Athens, the prince
consort of the Netherlands from The
Hague and the crown prince of Rnumania
from Bucharest. The courts of Madrid,
Dresden, Brussels, and Stuttgart will all
be represented b royalties, and ambassa
dors extraordinary are coming; from. France
and Norway and from the United States,
China and Japan.
London is making preparations for the
coronation. Westminster Abbey haa been
closed to the public that It may be put In
readiness for the coronation. The official
program of the ceremonies has been ar
ranged. Tuesday, June SO, the state banquet at
mklnghnni Palace will be held. Wednes
day, June 21, dinner will be given by the
duke of Connaught at St. James' Palace.
Thursday, June Z'J, coronation. Friday,
June 2:1, royal progress through London.
Saturday. June 24, naval review at Spit
head. Monday, June 2C, the kins and
queen return to Iondon. Galla perform
anco at the opera. Tuesday, June 26, gar-
' den party at Buckingham Palace. Galla
theater performance. The king and queen
aftirwurd attend a supper and dance at
Ilerby house. Wednesday, June 28, de
parture of royal guests. Visits of the king
and queen to the Royal Agricultural show
at Norwich. Thursday, June 29, royal visit
to the Guildhall, and In all probability drive
in state through the east end. Triday,
June 30, the prime minister and Mrs. As
qulth will entertain the king and queen at
linner. Saturday, July 1, the king and
lueen go to Windsor.
Queen Mary takes much interest In the
relief work being done among the poor of
London. Recently she summoned Preben
tary Carlile, founder of the Church Army,
0 Buckingham Palace to receive from him
1 report of the Army's work and the con
dition of the destitute and homeless poor
in London. Probable no queen-consort Is
tetter fitted than our present queen to un
Jerstand the needs of the poor, for she was!
nade the companion of her mother's char
itable efforts and taught to visit and re
leve the sick and Indigent 'while still a
mere child. Queen Mary was profoundly In
terested In all that Mr. Carlile told of the
Derations of the Army and expressed great
Pleasure In having the matter so ably pre
sented. Although London is in for a succession
of ' brilliant court functions this season,
home life during the present rtf'.n is likely
to be far more in evidence than in the last
decade or so. The example of simplicity,
characteristic of the living of the king and
queen, will doubtless exercise a good ef
fect upon many a British home, for tastes
ara not fa the least lavish. Indeed, apart
from the etiquette sovereignty entails,
their family life can be held up as an ideal
for every household.
Instead of the royal family, it might,
from appearances, to be a domesticated
and industrious family of the upper-middle
claases that sits down to breakfast at 9
o'clock. Above all, the queen Is as much a
worker as the king. With the precision al
most of a mother with a modest and lim
ited weekly allowance, she supervises the
preparations and arrangements of the
household. In fact, she has been known to
tuck up her sleeves and help in the actual
cooking. Queen Mary haa eminently cul
tured tastes, being an excellent historian
and a writer of pretty verses.
The late Idy Meux possessed a very
valuable and an almost unique collection
of Nelson relics, and the fortunate Inheri
tor of these treasures is, appropriately
tnough. Lord Charles Beresford Among
'.he relics is a good deal of Lady Hamil
ton's jewelry, including the famous "11am
,lton necklace," given to "my dear F-mma"
by the hero of Trafalgar. This is a superb
ornament. It Is formed of three rows of
perfect pearls, Joined at Intervals of about
in inch by larger ones. The clasp is of
ky-blue enamel, set with diamonds, and
the workmanship is a miracle of the Jewel
tr's art.
Many people have owned the necklace
since It first adorned the lovely neck of
Idy Hamilton, and a very keen bargain
Ing contest took place before It became the
proiwrty of Lady Meux.

Lame Factor In the Dlaprndng

I!Y EDWARD T. PBVINE.
General Secretary Charity Organization
Society, New York City.
(Exclusive Wervlce tlie Survey Press
Bureau.)
In the year ending September 80, 1319,
the Charity Organization society disbursed
In direct relief a little - less than (80,000.
Koine people think that it Is too much.
Some think that It Is not enough. I am
among the latter. We need mora money
for widows and dependent children, more
for the families of consumptives and mora
for many other particular kinds of dis
tress. ...
What we need for relief we always
raise for that particular purpose. We be
lieve tn what Is called the case-by-case
system of ' raining relief funds. What we
mean by this is that if we require $10 or
$15 a month for a family for a year we
prefer to ask people to give that amount
for that particular family. We open a
special account with the money thus given
and we keep is religiously for the family
for whom it was raised so long as It Is
needed. If it is not needed we give it back
to the donors If they want it or we trans
fer it with the consent of the donors to
some other similar case.
That does not often happen. Generally
we nerd for a family all that we have se
cured for them. Our purpose is not the
"tiding ovei-J' of a family "into next
week's misery," but family rehabilitation.
We pension widows until children can
prtiperly begin to earn wages. We care
for the sick until they are well. We move
people to a place where they can become
self-supporting if possible. We go after
deserters and bring them back to their
families.
Relet! Means to an Hnd.
With us relief is but a means to an end.
In some instances we give no relief nhat
eer and In other Instances sue may spend
a large sum of money In direct relief be
fore we get through. Of course. In the
vast majority of rases some relief is neces
sary, and e give what our experience and
bst jutlainenl niaO'St whether It is much
or little or notlilng.
Heavy Items ul Ktursie,
Ix.-ltlis the IMI.OO which was expended
for relief and besides what was expended
for other activities which have separate
treaHUiics, the Charity Organization so
ciety expended about $1)00.000. Anyone who
quotes these figures and Infers from them
that there is a disproportion between re
lief and the cost of administering relief Is
misleading the public. What tljese figures
show is that the society Is engaged in
other activities besides relief giving. In
round numbers J.-0.OOO was the cost of con
ducting the New York School of Philan
thropy. This Is a training school for those
who are expecting to engage In civic or
social work. It is not supported by contrib
utors at all, but by endowment and tui
tion fees. i
Thirty thousand dollars was spent on the
work of the committee on the prevention
ot tuberculosis and its affiliated Associa
tion of Tuberculosis Clinics. None of this
was for relief and none of It was for the
expense of administering relief. It Is more
fundamental than relief. It Is prevention.
It Is publlo education. Largely as a result
of a campaign carried on by that com
mittee . the city was Induced to Increase
Its appropriations to the health department
and to the Board of Education, and as a
result we have open air schools for
anaemic children and an adequate corps
of health department district nurses, visit
ing the homes of poor consumptives. These
things mean more than fuel and groceries.
Tbey mean health and the saving of life.
Tbey mean stamping out infection.
Advice and Information.
The society spent a little over $8,000 in
Its bureau of advice and information,
which Is for the purpose of reporting to
its members and others of charitable
agencies w hlc,h appeal for financial support
This bureau exposes fiaudulent enterprises
and gives Impartial, reliable information
concerning the hundreds of Institutions,
societies and enterprises of various kinds
tn the city. Frequently, through this
bureau, substantial aid Is given In the
reorganization of charitable aaenctes in
such a way as to free them from some
ground of criticism, one may put a high
or a low estimate on this kind ot service,
but obviously It has nothing to do with the
amount spent In relief.
The usVfulness of any special activity is
not alwavs gauged by the amount of
money which It costs. For example, the
socirty spent less than Ji (0 for Its special
leinplowo.nl bur.au. the object of which Is
to find work of i- e. la! kind t for handi
capped persons Hi ose who are not able to
do a full day's work In the ordinary sense,
but who can do certain things very satis
factorily if they have some special- con
sideration. Thus employed they are both
happier auiVbetter off phvsicnlly than If
trey are auppurted in absolute idleness.
