wales and the Princess Alexandria.
Youths Companion.
There is luck in odd numbers,
This is the expression invariably useC
by his Royal Highness the Prince o.
Wales, when referring to his five chill
dren-his two boys and three girls.
Her Royal Hlghness the Princess
Louise is the most amiable of the three
and is Il miniature copy of her mother
The Princess Victoria, her fathers pet
has temper of her own-impetuous
ardent, hot, smiling through tears like
n sunbeam in showers while Maude,
whom Queen Victoria idolizes, has 9
disposition somewhat like that of hel
right royal grandmamma. None OF
the Princesses fear the Queen, al.
though everybody else has wholesome
dread of her Most Gracious Majesty,
who is as exacting as she is severe.
The daughters of the Prince of Wales,
after the first formal deep courtesy
down to the ground is made, roRp with
their grandmother as they would with
one of the govcrnantes; and it is q
matter of apprehension to the Dowagcl
Marchioncss of Ely. who, with the eX
ception of the late Duchess OF Suther
land (the Grand Duchess), is most in
innate with the sovereign, when the
young Princcsscs pounce upon the
Queen and dare to pull about the ruler
of an empire upon which the sun never
sets.
THE PRINCESS LOUISA
is the most talented, the Princess
Maudc the smartest. All three have q
talent for languages, nud are always
delighted when their uncle, the Grown
Prince Of Denmark. Is with them, as
then they chat in Danish. He is said
to be their prime favorltc, and, as they
dearly love romp, the good-tcmpcred
uncle INDUCES them with the elan of Il
lad of lj.
The pfincesscs are all musical, in
hcriing this taste from their mother,
who is superb pianist, but who never
plays outside of her own immediate
family circle. She is dcvout follower
of Rubinstcin, and performs that won
dcrful waltz after n fashion that would
have enchanted the maestro could he
have had the privilege of hearing her
play.
The Princess of Wales carefully
watches the musical education of her
daughters, and nearly every day, after
Mdlle. Gaymard-Pacini, the premiere
pianist of the age, who is their instruc'
trcss, has concluded her lessons, she
asks how each demoisglle acquitted
herself. The prince is no musician. 81
leave all that sort of thing to Edin'
burgh,' he laughs.
The young princesses having beer
promised visit to the tower of Lon
don in May last, which they were near
Ily crazy to see. the Rev. Tcignmoutl
Shore, one of the queens chaplains
was ordered to act aS their escort.

The Princess Maude carried the day
having been warmly supported by he
sister, and the happy trio did the towe

unbUundrd satisfaction.
