IN PARENTHESIS

"There'll Always Be Princess Alice, wife of the Duke of Athlone, Governor-General of Canada. was accorded a Scottish welcome when she attended the Provi Women's Missionary Society of the opening session of the convention of the

Presbyterian Church in Canada last month. In return, she read this parody on "There'll Always be an England," which she said had been sent to her from Glasgow:

There'll always be an England As long as Scotland stands: It's jut through poor auld Scotland That England's wealth expands. Our friendly neighbour England We always will defend: We'll fight all England's battles, Her broken ships we'll mend, And when the war is over And victory has been won, We'll sing all England's paris For what auld Scotland's dune.
