people who feel that consanguineous mar

regard Princess Nav as a tolerably suitable

Prince George is very much of a good
humored, rolicking boy, typical British

| frolic, and not only on the best of good
terms with his elder brother, but also with
his mother and sisters. 1t is wonderful how
proud boys are of a pretty mother, and the
Young royals are no exec JtiOns to the rule.

scarcely been discussed as yet, for it is not
the custom in Engl nd to marry the

cogent reas N for d ing so.

have learned TO be proficient in several m
