the morning, sixteen t'ears ago, when in
that jaunty hat and - i've poplin dress,
she stepped ashore at I!.avesend, and af-
terward rode through London, taking
triumphant possession of all our hearts.
At the Greenwich school last week she
looked almost as young and quite as
charming in a costume of black and white
striped silk, and it was easy to see how
proud she is of her boys and OF
her husband, who wore the uni
form of captain in the Naval Re
serve, with aigulettes as aide-de-camp to
the Queen, and with a few miniature or
ders on his left breast. l wonder how
