princess only accompanied her mother in
her rides and walks, and saw little or
nothing OF her at other times She useI u
live almost entirely in her own APARTMENTS,
in the society of her Inseparable friends ami

QUEEN VICTuRIA's DAILY LIFE

bert, but 1t has Of late been much neglected
by the queen. The queen never has and
never will lay by her widow 5 cap or her
mourning dress. no more will she conform
to the dictates of fashion. The cut OF her
garments has not varied Tor many "a year.
The very materials she Uses are out of date

long ago Any one coming upon her un-
awares walking in the grounds would lie
justified in taking her for comfortable,
respe, table housekeeier or pew opener. but
no one whom she has ever addressed will
fail to recognize the dignity and ma jesty Of
her manner and utterancr.
Princess Beatrice, unlike her mother. is
fond Of dress and her taste is neither haste
nor subdued She has an English partiality
for bright colors and is unfortunately de
voted to a brilliant red shawl which suits
neither her hair nor her complexion 1t is i'm
possible to make out whether she is popular,
or how far the cold praise given to her cIey-
erness, talents and artistic instincts Is JUST
tied on the other hand, no derogatcry men

used to be, rather gratuitously, pitied a. the
queens forced attendant. and now her mar

The princess Of Wales on this occasion, as

wisely abstained from taking sides or vol
unteering opinion. As usual, when a
