PEEL AND QUEEN YICToRLI.
Prince Albsrt's Initiation into Public
Life.

When Lord Melbourne became the
Queens Prime Minister on her accession
In 1887, she was a young girl only a few
days over eighteen years OF age. When
Lord Melbourne was succeeded by Sir
Robert Peel in 1871, the Queen was still
"a girl I'm years, but she was twenty-five
and married. Under the gentle aus
pices OF Lord Melbourne the girl Prin-
cess became a woman and IL queen. Sir
Robert Peel's task was a very different
one. Ey the Queens side he found n
prince three months younger than the
Sovereign, a foreigner by birth, fun Of

strong and mastery character. absorbed
by honorable ambition to utilize powers

owing to the jealous regard OF English
statesmen in former times, precuded by

place on the throne beside his wife.
The Queen had been anxious TO make her
husband KingConsort. and indeed had
strained every nerve TO bring il about:
but Lord Melbourne had turned a deaf

of the birth of the Princess Royal the
Queen alone possessed pass-keys OF all
the official boxes which were sent by the
Ministers to the palace That event saw
the first advance in the political position
Of the Prince. for he was then put In pos

as private secretary 10 the Queen; but
when, four years afterwards. Lord John
Russell went TO Windsor at n crisis In
the desunics Of Sir Robert Peel's gov

great change that had taken place.
Formerly. as he knew, the Queen re-

The Girl With Rubber Boots.

Tripping down the sidewalks snowy,
Bravely wading through the slush.
Modestly her skirts uplifting.
Yet without the slightest blush.
Ethel wends her way, regardless
Which may be the easiest routes.
Slush TO her has lost its terror
She has on her rubber boots.
See her coming TO a crossing
Where the other girls all stop,
Posing, startled, on the curbstOne.
Making up their minds to hop.
On she strides. her skirts uprising
With both hands as high as suits
Her convenience; she's not bothered
She has on her rubber boots.
And those hOrrid men behind her
Sadly disappointed seem.
Ethel is 50 sweet and dainty,
Graceful as an artists dream,
But when she starts DER the crossing
only one glance each man shoots
Toward her; then his eyes rove else

She has on her rubber boots.
