Show Made Her Shed Tears. The Daily Mail tells the following kindly story of the queen of Italy. The terseness and force, of the child's letter in reply could scarcely be Improved upon: "Some time ago the queen of Italy asked a little girl to knit her a pair of silk mittens for her birthday, giving her the money for the material! On the day a lovely pair of mittens duly arrived. The little girl received in return another pair, one mitten containing lire, the other bonbons. Queen Marguerite also enclosed a little note saying: 'Tell me, my dear child, which you like best.' The reply ran as follows: 'Dearest Queen Your lovely presents have made me shed many tears. Papa took, the mitten with the money; my brother had the bonbons.'" |
