no notice was taken OF the crown pin

finding herself quite forgotten, attempted
to follow unattended into the room pro-

asked permission TO speak to the PriH-

greeted this request, when the situation
was relieved by the arrival Of one Of the
suite, who had com in search of his
royal mistress. Explanations and ex.
cuses were showered from all sides; but
the princess, after gracefully acknowl-
edging them, pleaded fatigue and her
delicate health, asked for her carriage,
and retired fso@ the scene.
