MISCELLANY.
A GLIMPSE At ROYALTY.

There IS a general movement among the
ioungerS IN the Park, and an unostenta-
tlouS carriage with servants IN red livery
goes slowly by. There are two ladies only
IN 1t, and there are two little curly-haired
dogs on the seat before them.
The ladies are attired very nearly alike
IN black and white striped silks the one in
pink, the other In blue bonnet. They
are not so beautiful as rumOr would make
rs believe. They are oyal-faced, highbred
looking women, the one whom the English
call ''our princess being older looking,
less blooming than her sister Dagmar
The Czarovina is like girlish edition of
her sister, but though hes brown eyes have
a deeper lustre, her cheek ripper bloom,
and her mouth and pretty chin "A more pi-
quaint air, there Is a sweetness, a gentle
dignity, a grace about Alexandra which
u axes her loveGness more perfect, vet its
charm impossible to describe. She leans
forward as the carriage passes, bows and
smiles cordially. "Ah, said lady of
the Queens household TO us one evening,
''She is such real princess. And this
mention of royalty brings me back to
twilight hour when from terrace on the
High street of old kensington we watched
the royal family returning from ChisWlck.
1t was trte day the streets were gaily
decorated, crowd assembled in the ter
raced gardens, shop windows, and Oh the
pavement. The carriages containing roy
atty rode by with unusual state; outriders
IN gay liyerieS, preceding them First the
christians las we might say nee Prin-
cess Helcna), a fair, Flacld-oolling young
woman in a white tulc hat, and a middle
aged, S0ldlerly man IN uniform then a
trap driven tandem by a handsome
young man with full brown beard, rose
bud IN his buttonhole, gay debonair man
ner ("the Duke" he is called, Just as his
elder brother IS always ''the Prince'1 :,
and then a second park carriage, with a
bonny young Scotch chieftain in Highland
dress, and very pretty, pale, brown hair
ed young woman IN a pink dress; with
some sprays Of white blossoms. gathered
doubtless at the tett, IN her hands. A
shout goes up as they drive by, the good
looking young Highlander doffing his
Scotch cap alrily, the young princes with
the wisttul eyes smiling gently. These are
the Lornes, about whose domestic life ru-
NOR is very busy. But 1t is said on good
authority they are fairly we'll content with
their somewhat unequal marriage. The
princess is very intellectual and accom-
pIished, and is by far the handsomest of
the Queen S daughters. Her husband has
many friends he IS young and has a fine
disposition, and after all his family is near
enough to the throne to silence contempt
uous gossip.
just as the patience of the crowd is Civ
ing out there goes up a cry Of The
ris.,Y
this divine right of kings and princes
When these people say The Prince, it
is with an air Of Long live the King =
Here come the Marlborough House liv-
cries, and such a carriage load of royalty
the Princess of Wales and her sister Dag
mar, their white dresses and pink hats
looking pretty IN the eyem Q light OPP
poSite them the Prince of Wales, who,
in spite of rumor and iucrea sing weight, Is
yet tinc.lrokmg, and the tall, broad
Shauldered, good-looking Czaroyitch ;
and then comes a last carriage. out of
which little sleepy looking children in
brown holland cloaks and straw hats,
with tiuttering white ribbons, appear TO
be rolling. There are in truth three OF
them upon one seat, and opposite, stout,
gracious looking lady, of whom we re-
member chiefly her brilliant smile and
pleasant situation. Her husband
haudsomer IN his dark, grand way than
any Of the Guelphs sits beside her.
Those are the TeckS.' says somebody
earnestly; they are 50 kind and simple,
Their home Is IN kenSngton palace
