A story of a NeckIaee.


The Crown Princess of Prussia, Vic.
toria S eldest daughter, inherits more OF
her mothers traits than any of her other
descendants, among which is jealous
virtue not to be despised, and something
of temper. She recently went to her
jeweler to buy diamond necklace, and
selected very beautiful one, something
quite new but noticed that the head of
the establishment, who, Of course, was
serving her. tried in vain to suppress a
peculiar smile. The princess, always ex-
citable, flushed up and asked haughtily if
there was any reason why she could not
purchase the necklace which she had Sc
lected. 1t already belongs to your
Royal Highness," the shopkeeper was
startled into saying, though i was not
authorized to let your Royal Highness
know it. 1t was ordered some time
ago" who ordered 1.-THE Prince?
OH now | seel Ny birthday is in a
few days.. no doubt he intends this as
his birthday gift. Be sure you do not
mention my visit here, and i
shall say nothing to the Prince" The
Princess was touched by the thoughtful
compliment from her husband, who in
those days was neither noted for his
thoughtinlness nor for his tenderness,
ard eagerly awGited her birthday in
silence The morning came, and num-
berless cddedur according to German
custom, were carried into her bed-cham-
ber, among them one that bore her hus-
bands handwriting on the covering.
She tore off the wrapping trembling, al
most weeping, and refusing assistance.
The little casket contained handsome
diamond brdcetet--no necklace What
could it mean2 Like the Queen, the
Princess Royal is martyr to. jealous
rage, and her fury may be imagined.
But, to discover what she was determined
to learn, she hid her rage, saying to her.

be fitting cddedn TO some one who goes
to COURT shall see i'll" And she did.
At the next court ball the searching eyes
of the Crown Princess did not permit any
woman to pass unnoticed. At last there
entered a young and beautiful lady
"a well-known belle, she wore
that necklacei The eyes Of her Royal
Highness flashed as though giving back
the light of the diamonds when her
glance rested upon it. She walked de-
liberately up to the lady and asked her,
in tone quite audible to those who were
near, Who gave you that necklace2"
The lady turned crimson, hesitated,
stammered and failed to reply. Who
made you present of those exquisite
demanded the Princess,
varying her question. The lady, now
quite confident from the manner of the
Crown Princess, that she knew the donor
and that there was no mercy to be ex-
pected, stood silent. 1t was given to

that she swept out of the satoH. OF
