The coming beauty-if, indeed, she
'an not fairly be called so now-is q
Mrs. Cavley, the wife of an officer in the
First Life Guards. She was q Miss
Chappell, a daughter of a we'll known
Bond street music seller and publisher.
OF course she was a great heiress. with
out which comfortable fact, 1 fear, her
beauty might have gone a begging so far
as Mr.. Cavley was concerned. At all
events money or no money, it isn't
every man in q swell regiment like his
would care to marry a tradesman's
daughter, no matter how beautiful she
might be. Most of the daughters of
English trrdespeople are girls with in
stlncts which all the education of fash
lonable Young Ladies' Academies" in
The world cannot overcome. They live
upon dress, exist upon admiration, and
are loud, bolsterous, and fast. But
MISS Chappell was q gratifying excep-
ton to the general rule. Beautiful as q
dream and stately as a queen-that is
to say, the theoretical queen: not built
on the lines of the dumpy Victoria-
she was as modest as she was beautiful.
and as clear minded as she was stately.
A little incident, by no means UNI

Prince of Wales, will show the sort of

she had what other women would
regard as the "honor" of attracting the
notice of his Royal Highness. By n

Old and young. would have jumped at
the opportunity. But what did Miss
Chappell do? With tears in her eyes
and q shrinking blush OF maidenly puri-
ty, she sought her father and mother
and begged them to take her away from
London at once. I don't think Albert
Edward v o got such a snub in his
life, not even excepting those he has ia
endure from the beautiful Countess OF
Dudley every time court etiquette COM

Shortely after Miss Chappell became
Mrs. Cavley, and her marvellous beauty
a beer attracting in the higher Cir,
cles to which her marriage has given
her the entree the admirrtion it had in:
the sphere she had left. Tall and grace

aglnable, she moves about with o charm

King of Sweden was so pronounced in

charms for her.
While I am speaking of him I will
give another reported instance of the
Prince of Wales demeanor toward a
woman. The other night he was talk

II hear, Lady Romney," he said,
that Lord Romney has a nickname.
What is it?
Instead of replying, Lady Romney
said: "sir"-everyone addresses the
Prince, Sir ''Sir, I hear that you ore
called 'Tummy.' Is it true?"
Without a word he turned with a
scowl and walked away, needless of the
attention his rude behavior attracted to .
her. He really had only himself to
blame, for he had no right to speak Of
a husband to his wife in a way that he
would not allow himself to be spoken
to by the wife. Lady Romney is to be.
complimented for her spirit. It is a
comfort, too, to think that in Lady
Dudley there is . woman in England
brave enough to turn her back upon 2
him and refuse to speak to him, when
she meets him. As for Mrs. Cavley,
she avoids him as she would a cobra.
