detail about the hideously tasteless wall
paper, the appalling curtains with gold tas
sells, the scarlet and white carpets and the
bright yellow furniture. AS II all this were
not hideous enough, he goes on: "Dlzzy
hung the walls with portraits OF his friends,
unspeskable pictures, painted by unknown
daubers." These wonderful works OF art,

in the life of Queen Victoria Of Great
Britain. This year (1SS2) is the nineteenth
year of the 297th cycle of nineteen years.
Queen Victoria was born in 1919, and add
ing the digits OF that year the total is nine

great sensation, especially as 1t is believed
that the young Sultana died OF malady
which probably oftener kills than coarse
minded people suppose. The Princess Naibe
is said to have fallen in love at first sight
with Sadyk Bey, a young Turk she met at

Princess, who fell Ill and in few weeks
