PRINCE ARTHUR AND THE FAIR " FLOWER
GIRL."—An anecdote is told in connection with the recent
departure of the Queen and Royal family from Edinburgh,
on their way south. As the sheriff of Edinburgh stood in
shrieval dignity on the platform of the railway station a
lady sought audience of him. It was granted, and the
lady proceeded to tell him that she had a little girl with
her who was deeply in love with Prince Arthur, and that
nothing on earth would satisfy her shore of presenting
Prince Arthur with a bouquet. The sheriff pondered a
moment, but was afraid he had not jurisdiction sufficient
for the proposed presentation of the bouquet ; however, ho
would see. Accordingly he entered the Royal carriage and
explained the matter to the Queen, pointing out to her the
expectant young lady, who stood, a bewitching little crea-
ture, all blushes, hopes, and fears on the platform. Her
Majesty, with the utmost promptitude, declared her willing-
ness for the bouquet scene, and said she would not for a mo-
ment "come between the two." Whereupon the sheriff re-
turned with the welcome tidings, and little Miss—, step-
ping forward with the grace of Ferraris, presented her
flowers, with a charming consciousness beaming from her
child-face, which no doubt the youthful prince fully appre-
ciated —.Fife Rerald.
