Change in the King’s Title.
u u . If, as is said to be not unlikely, somechange is adopted in'the King's title, it will be the sixteenth time the title has been altered. The last time, of course, was, in 1877, when “Empress of India” was added. It was the first change for seventy-six years; in 1801 George 111. had dropped France out of the list of countries over which he was King and Defender of the Faith. The title has-been changed not quite once in every half-century since tho Conqueror, hut between 1100 and 1200 it was changed four times. William the Conqueror called himself “ King of tho English, Normans, and Cimonantiaus.”
■' Some things never grow old, the most noticeable among which are young ladies 'who are not married.
