When Miss Virginia l.onNe Oilman,
who was presented to Albert, king of
the llelginns, nt the launching of the
Cantigny nt Hog Island, on Monday,
consented to nn Interview nt her home
today, it appeared she and King Albert
lind foreign languages in common.
Her mother served as interpreter, but
since Virginia Louise's sixteen months
hne brought her to the threshold of
speech.
"Virginia Louise, did ynu like the
king?" she was nsked. Turning her
big blue eyes whicu King Albeit so
nptly called "beautiful" upon het
mother, she seemed to implore nld.
"Say, 'jes,' Virginia," said Mrs.
Oilman, coming to her Infant s md.
Viiginin Louise answered witli n
snuc bob of her head.
"What did he look like." her inter
viewer asked.
"Me-nh, me-nh." was her reply,
which is Virginia's answer to the iiues
tion. "How docs the pussy cat go? '
"Hut surely, the king didn't look like
a puss) cat," cried Mrs. Oilmnn.
honor-stricken. "Look," -die con
tinued, showing her dnughter pictures
of a menagerie nnd sajing, "This is n
piis.y cnt."
Virginia responded by looking lit the
picture dubious!).
On the net page was n picture of n
bo) shepherd with the sheep nnd dog.
She immediately pounced upon It. cry
ing, "Dniida. dadda."
"Yes." suid Mrs. Gilmnn, "that
looks like 'dadda.1 "
"Itut what did the king look like,
Virginia Louise," nsked the inter
viewer. "Dadda, dadda," came the immediate
response.
Virginia Louise Is the dnughter of
Mr. uuil Mts. W. A. Oilman, of l.'t
Marlborough road, Ovriluook. Her
"dadda" is assistant to M. C. Brush,
president of the American International
Shipbuilding Corporation.
Immediately following the launching
of tin1 Cantigny, ns the king nnd his
unrty were nreparing to leave the island,
I Mr. Itrusli carried Virginia Louise to
Illl' IMIIK S tlimiHrill UNI! NUil .
"lour majesty, permit me to present
to )ou Mr. Oilman's daughter. Vir
ginia Louise."
He then handed her to her father,
who held her close to the king.
King Albert responded to the intro
duction by exclaiming :
"What a wonderful baby; what
beautiful big blue e)es!"
"Olug blub,' leplieil Virginia ns
though flattery from mere kings weie
something she bad grown unite accus
tomed to.
Itut King Albert understood nnd

URPRISE TO MOST PEOPLE
What would you be liable to say to the man or woman who would tell you 'that most of the meats and
quite a few standard groceries were being sold in the American Stores at considerably less money than these
same goods were sold for one year ago today? yet the fact remains. l
Recognizing that your interest is our interest, the immense buying and distributing power of this
organization is co-ordinated and operated along the lines of scientific control and economic management,
having in mindrthe producing of merchandise at the lowest possible cost consistent with quality in a word
the holding down, and wherever at all possible, the lowering of the cost of living.
In these days when the price of shoes and all kinds of wearing apparel is soaring it behooves wise house
keepers to pay greater heed to their table cost. For this reason this advertisement should determine, once and
for all, that your money should be spent where the purchasing power of your dollar is the greatest. That
place, in the judgment of housekeepers who know, is an American Store.
While we concede that some goods in our line are higher, it is gratifying to us to be able to show quite
a saving, as compared with last year's prices, on a number of important lines of food.
Note carefully the comparison and check every item.
