FLIRTING WITH A PRINCESS.

Observations of q Correspondent ON Intimate
Terms with the Royal Family.
London Letter in Chicago Herald
caught the Duke of Cambridge the other day
in funny position. had business with an aide
de-camp, and, in mistake, went into the Dukes
room. He had his easy tosgery on, and was at
the window looking upon the park and grounds
of Marlborough House, and, OH shock
ingl making signals apparently Of most
affectionate character, to a young lady
at an opposite window In the ardor of
his signaling the Duke had not heard
my footsteps on the carpet, and I thought
the best thing I could do was to discreetly and
silently back out. AS ! did so the lady leaned
forward and the sun shone on her face, and
recognized her as the Princess of Wales, who,
with some of the youngsters, was sitting in
sort Of exposure enjoying a bit of gossip by sig
nal with the old warrior, on whose every move
ment at this moment the eyes of all Europe
were fguratively supposed to be resting. In
stead of signing warrants creating armies to
march forth to destruction. the old boy was
dverting himself in his peculiar and unique
manner with the young folks of the royal family.
afterward learned a regular code of signals
had been established by the field marshal by
which he could communicate with the Prince and
Princess.

The Inside Track.

He came to the bower of her love
Twanging his sweet guitar;
He called her in song his snew-white dove,
His lily, his fair, bright star,
While sat close by the brown-eyed maid
And helped her enjoy her serenade.
He sang that his love was beyond compare
tHis voice was sweet as his song);
He said she was pure and gentle and fair,
And told her he wasn't far wrong
don't know whether he heard me or not,
For his E string snapped like pistol-sh
He told how he loved her Ter and Ger,
With passion in every word,
In songs that never knew before,
And sweeter ones ne'er were heard
But the night dews loosened his guitar strings
And they buzzed out of tune like crazy things
He sang and played till the moon was high,
Oh, sweet was the love born strain:
And the night caught up each treraulouS sigh
And echoed each sweet refrain;
But laughed when beetle flew down his throat
And choked in snort his highest note.
She liked it; and did-iust $3.50;
/ was glad to hear his lay;
ever echoed him, soft and low,
When he sang what wanted to say,
Till at last leaned from the window, and then
] thanked him, and asked him to call again,
And then he went away.

whom the burning OF her hotel has caught in the
bath and has driven cut Of doors with q blanket
on her shoulders and purse containing $3.50
and her railroad ticket in her had. She can
clethe herself completely and still have fifteen
cents left to buy oranges and candy for the
children. If she can borrow enough clothing TO
appear on the street, in the course Of half
hours shopping she can be ready to leave for
home.
To begin with the beginning, she will enter
the furnishing department and will naturally in
quire for chemise, the lowest that can be
bought, and will be shown a good cotton, cord
band, we'll made and neat garment for twenty
five cents. For the same price she can get six
tuck skirt with deep hem, lockstitched in fun
Sizes and for the same price also. she can pur-
chase sewed corset with sixteen bones and solid
busk. So much for her underclothing, which
does not include an tunmen tionable gar
ment which comes in pairs and
which, although extremely desirable, is
not absolutely necessary to her comfort and good
appearance in summer. IL she had the money
she could buy this for % cents. Having COW
cred herself, the next article in order OF pur-
chase, although the first usually among ladies to
be put on, is her hose She can buy prir OF
domestic stockings for 10 cents, or if she would
prefer to save on the candy and get better, she
can choose full regular imported hose in any
solid color or stripes for Is cents. This, how
ever, would be extravaganza under the circum-
stances. She will, in all probability, look next
for dress, and she can find it to her taste
ready made of calico in tasteful figures, half
mother Hubbard and belted for rs cents For
shoes she can get slippers for so cents if she
chooses to wear them on the street. or Newport
ties, neat, pretty and durable, for T5 cents
Boots would cost ST. which would be above her
means. Then she viii want that sine qua non OF
womanhood, bonnet, and she can get rough
and ready straw of fashionable shape and nicely
trimmed for 81. Her outfit is complete, the bill
for which will read:

Total $3.


If she prefers it she can get better pair Of
stockings for Is cents, and can buy a fan and a
handkerchief or some other little knick-knack
with the remaining 10 cents IF she is fastid-
ious, she cannot only do this but can add tho
unmentionables referred to for 25 cents, bring
ing the total cost to 80. IS. BY doubling the cost
of each article she can get a fine chemise,
with three rows OF inserting, q fine skirt
with deep rufle, tucked and embroidered
and a fine domestic corset, or for Is
cents more French woven corset She can also
get stylish dress with yoke waist, belted and
flounced, q handsome pair of boots and q dainty,
nobby bonnet with flower or two on it, and
inch facing. By adding little to her dress, SO
as to make it cost ST. she can get pretty Pacific
lawn with elaborately trimmed jacket and over
skirt. This calculation presumes that the lady
has immediate need of every article. II she has
any talent for dressmaking she can vastly i'm
prove the quality and style of her dress and de-
crease the cost She can purchase fifteen yards
of dress goods for rs cents, and can put it to-
gether with the lining and buttons included for
so cents more. In other words, if she is sensible
and handy, she can dress herself from the skin
out stylishly and nobility for $5. The grades Of
style and quality are innumerable SO that, be-
ginning with $3 %, the outfit can be
made to cost a small fortune. A pros
pective bride be fitted out with set Of
Undertaking for 81 or for 81 0OO as her means
will permit At the lowest rate a full trousseau
may be purchased for &c. and. comparatively
speaking, a luxurious trousseau may be obtained
for $25. There is doubtless plenty of frst,circle
married ladies whose trousseaux have cost no
more than the aforementioned sum. A still
cheaper plan is to elope. Although it has been
demonstrated beyond question that woman can
be clothed completely for $685. and dressed
stylishly for S., this is not designed to take
away the sting of conscience from stingy hus-
band or father nor to give him powerful lever
to keep down the operating expenses of woman
kind, nor to tempt loving and sanguine young
man into the snares Of matrimony, with only
great expectations or good looks to live on. lie
the other consequence follows, there is only
sympathy for the victim of misplaced confidence
in womanS nature.

Do what We may, the facts of life bear hardly
upon the weaker sex. With less strength, women
are called upon to endure more than men, in
many ways. They must live all their lives under
social and conventional restraints which men
would find Intolerabe. When sorrow comes to
them they must shut themselves up with it and
endure it without those distractions of the mind
in which men find relief. Their lives are mo-
notonous, and monotony is the deadly foe to
happiness in human beings.
In the very best circumstances that we can
create, the lot of women is less fortunate less
happy than that of men. largely because of their
want of occupation and the limitations that cir
cumstances impose upon their amusements, their
associations and their recreative exercises
