The PRlNcEss ALExAEDRA's CHRISTMAS
GIFr.-An English paper tellsus little sto-
ry Of the Princess Alexandra, which admira-
bly, illustrates her domestic habits, her amia-
bic disposition, and kindness of heart Cross
ing the hall of Marlborough House late one
afternoon, a few days before Christmas, Her
Royal Highness observed a young girl of sim
gularly delicate andrefned appearance, wait
ing, and also standing, though evidently fa-
tigued and faint.
The Princess kindly told her to sit down,
asked her erraud, and discovered that she
had brought some little garment which had
been ordered for the children, and which the
Princess, who is much interested in Sewing
Machines, and understands their merits, had
desired should be made on the Grover Il Ba-
ker Machine. Interested in the modest intel

girl. Her Highness desired her to follow her

for she was little more, where she lived, and
took down the address upon her tablets with
her own hand. She then gave her the deli

basket, and told her to take them to her
mother.
On Christmas morning, into the clean
apartment Of the invalid mother and her as
tonished and delighted daughter, was borne
a handsome Sewing Machine, with a slip Of
paper, on which we're the words: "a Christ
