Three LItlIe Priuce.ses.

Olive Logan's London Letter to Phila. Times. !
Yesterday the three little daughters
Of the Prince and Princess of Wales
came near being killed by runaway
horses. Ii there were nothing else
worthy the admiration of observers in
the conduct Of the heirs to the British
throne Tin point of fact there is a
very great deal to be admired) their
manner of rearing their children
would awaken appreciation from every
parent. The boys are sent off on a
cruise around the globe, and it is un-
derstood that no favors are shown
them above other lads of equal naval
rank on shipboard, whatever festivi
ties are created in their honor at the
different ports where they land As
to the little girls, if | were asked to
name those who, being the children
of lady, are uniformly most plainly
dressed and who conduct themselves
most modestly, of all such in England.
/ should say at once the little Prin-
cesses of Wales"
have seen them at the opera with
their parents, when, on one occasion,
the little one getting sleepy, her
mother took her upon her lap and let
her sleep on her knees all the even
ing; | have seen them at charitable
ceremonies which were attended by
much pomp and circumstance; have
have seen them riding, driving, walk
ing, boating, and on none of these oc-
casions, | venture to say, did the
wearing apparel of each one of the lit
tie girls exceed in cost ten-dollar
bill. A simple white muslin frock,
undecorated by any lace, unrelieved
by any silk slip or expensive sash,
formed the opera costume; the winter
and boating dresses are of serge. the
summer dresses of washing prints.
And all are made in the sim
plest style-no goferings. pucker-
ings or houncings; no bias bands, no
knife pleatings; no feathers in the
hats, no furbelows anywhere. Would
that the Mrs. Lofties" of America,
those vulgar and tasteless creatures,
who at the present time at the water
ing places all over The country, are
making the bodies of their children a
mere means Of parading their power
to spend money, and who are running
the moral health of their offspring by
intoxicating in these impressionable
young breasts a mad passion for per-
sonal adornment-would that these
silly and reprehensible mothers, say,
could be here to see the pattern set In
this matter by the Princess of
Wales, The example is followed,
as all examples are when
coming from the fountain head Of So
cial eminenco, and the result is seen
10 the admirable dressing of young
English people, universally extolled
in every community of taste. Every
one rejoices to hear that the little
Princesses came to no harm yesterday
in the runaway. The carriage was
badly shattered, and new wheel had
to be fitted to it in the open street be-
fore it could be rolled on to the coach
house. The little girls, with their
goYerness, we're safely lifted out, and
accompanied by a gentleman Of stand
| ing at court, who happened to be pass
ing, they made their way on foot to
Marlborough House.
