Olive Logan writes that the Princess Of
Wales is amazingly popular IN London,
and says Of her personal appearance
" For lashionablity, for nobbiness, for
chic, for everything that women most ad-
mire in women, there is really no describ-
ing her; she must be seen to be appre-
ciated. Her dressing is always the last
expression of Partisan elegance, and in
variably her toilet is as finished us an ep-
igram down to its smallest detail. From
her dainty, high h-heeied boots, up to the
tightlydraWn veil over her face, she is
the most cOnSummatey appareled lady
in the French style who graces this me-
tropois. Judging her merely as wo-
man, with no aid from her high rank to
bewllder a mans imagination, | think
there are many girls here in society who,
with their !impid eyes, glowing complex
ions, soft, thmbled hair and general love
illness, would win the race for IL heart
sooner than she. But that matter is not
to be thought of, Of course. She is Prime
ess, future Queen and Empress, and Won
derfully we'll she is adapted to her sta
ton" Wherever she appears in the streets
she is greeted with hearty cheers.

4 True Wife.

Oftentimes have seen tall ship glide

invisible tow line, with a hundred strong
arms pulling it. Her sails untitled, her
streamers We're dropping, she had neither
side wheel nor stern wheel; stiH she
moves on stately III serene triumph, as
with her own life. But know that On
the other side Of the ship hidden beneath
the great bulk that swan 50 majesticaHy,
there was little toilsome steam tug with
Il heart Of fire and arms Of iron, THAI was
tugglng it bravery on; and | knew that
il the little steam-tug untWined her arms
and left the Ship, it would Wa.loW and
roll about and drift hther and thithCr,
and 20 off with the retiuent tide No man
knows whittier. And 50 | haN0 known
more than one genius, gh-declled, full
freighted, wide sailed, gay pennonod, but
that for the bare, toiling arms and brave,
warm beating heart of the faithful little
wife that nestled close to him so that no
wind or wave could part them, he would
have gone down with the stream, and
have been heard of no more. Oliver
