stsub. daughter OF Col. R. P. Fl. Staub.
Of Linden avenue, Baltimore, Nd, and
l. having a charming visit. Miss
Martha is very much admired by the
many friends she has met In the monu-
mental city, and is the recipient OF
many attentions.
The marriage OF Princess Marie to
Prince Ferdinand has done much to
convince the American girl VINO mas
not vet been attacked by Anglo-mauia
that to be born a royalty, no matter OF
how low degree, is to be heavily hanol-
capped. In the most important rela-
tion of their lives these unlucky people
and their affections are disposed OF IN
the most matter of fact way. They
are pawns on the political chess board.
A few months ago the heir to a
throne of Roumania was "sighing ike
a furnace and making sonnets TO
his lady's eyebrows" the lady De-
ing the Queens lady in waitings a D
some, intelligent, gifted woman, out
as she wasn't even a royalty OF the least
magnitude, and as the Prince, just ike
any honorable man, protested that ne
would marry the woman he loved, civil
| d~issension breaks out in the Kingdom;
the naughty heir apparent is threatened
with the loss OF his pretty little king
dom, and a few months later sWears In
the presence of a cathedral full OF peo-
| ple who know the whole history to love,
honor and obey a young woman whom
political ambitions disposes OF as though
She were a doll. 1t is IN open secret
that the Princess May, who vas be-
| trothed to the late Duke Of Clarence,
''whom she had loved ever since child
| hood" is now to wed his brother, who
Is In succession heir to the Eng
lish throne. 1t Is curious
to think Of what contingencies
might arise II in a family with hopes
throneward one son after another
should be swept of. The loyal subjects
who brought rich gifts for the we'd
ding, which was so sadly prevented,
will now have a chance to send the tes-
timonials along with a few changes in
the Inscriptions. But the spectacle is
not alluring. English people are fond
of commenting upon the ~frankness OF
the American girl and not TO her credit
always, but there are few Of them that
would not protest at the lack OF dignity
about proceedings Of this sort.
