MADAME'S STORY.

"And what became of Marie?' asked.
"She married, did she not? Or did she,
now? I remember there was some ex-
citement."
Madame sighed. "It is very long

lish was almost perfect, though rather
studied and occasionally confused as to
lenses. But her singularly pure, clear
voice and a faint foreign softeniAg of
each syllable made her charming to lis
ten to.
"Well, as think I told you long ago,
Marie went away from me for one long
year. When she was very little, send
her to a convent in Toronto, and do
not see her very often. She grow up so
pretty, so spirituelle, the pale pink face
and big eyes, black eyes and long, long
lashes-oh, she is beautiful! She sway
like rose in the morning, quite slender,
and her small feet do not hurt the flow

is SO quick and SO beautiful. She laugh
in my face and say: DO not fear, my
mother. always stay with you. AS for
the men, hate em all. Then she dance
away with the pale pink ribbons flying
from the pink robe, and the lads follow
her everywhere. She read love stories
ncve., she call them, and they put strange
things in her head.
''She will not marry the lads in the
village, she say, but some rich man Will
come from the city and take her away,
and l, her mother, will have plenty Of
beautiful dresses and maid to wait up
on me. Then scold her and say that

must marry a lad that shall choose for

at Washington with her father and moth

is little more than years old. Mar
garet Spencer, who recently called at the
castle, has written quite an interesting
article about this little princess of the
Chinese embassy, in which a portrait is
given. Among other things the article
contains the following interesting de-
scription:
She wore pink figured underskirt

of dark blue brocade. The sleeves fell
away from her tiny wrists, which were
