through the ravlngS or his de1r1um,
how deeply his affections were engaged
by the French exile, and how far mat
tiers had gone between them before the
dictum went forth for his marriage
with May. After a swift and fatal
decline the lovers and playmates found
the obstacle to their happiness removed
beyond the reach of earthly disappoint-
ments and hopes, and they who had re-
signed themselves to lifelong sorrow
and separation reunited again upon a
throne!
OF all the romantic happenings among
the royalties, none has been more ro-
mantle than this love story of the Duke
and Duchess of York, and those who
tell this foolish tale about the secret
marriage in Malta have small concep-
ton of what happiness the TWO young
people who are some day to govern
England have found in their longed-for
union. So devoted are they that Prince
George cannot bear to let his wife be
separated from him for even day. If
duty compels him to travel, Princess
May leaves even the dearly-loved new
baby behind and follows the sailor
prince wherever he goes-remembering
how nearly their separation was for
life.
This same gossipy traveller, speaking
OF the meek submission shown by men,

Princess Alike of Hesse, Queen Victor
las granddaughter, is said to be des-
perately reluctant to wed the car
ovitch, although he is the most bril-
liant royal parti in the world
Her reluctance is probably the fruit
of her sisters, the Grand Duchess of
Serge's, experience. She, before the de-

was easily the most beautiful woman
in Europe, and it was considered
great match for this poor, pretty prin-
cess from the little obscure principality
of Hesse to marry into the royal family
of RUSSIA match which she owed
solely to her great beauty But she
has paid heavy price for it, said the
cosby narrator. Serge is the typical
Russian, who requires very little
scra itching indeed to show the Tartar.
He has all the savage instincts of Peter
the Great, and they are only kept very
slightly in check by the opinions Of a
more civilized modern world.
Some years ago, before Prince George
was married, he was visiting in Athens.
The Grand Duchess Serge was there,

knows how terrible is the suffering
caused by nipping the muscles and flesh
at the back of the arm, and the Grand
Duke Serge, like all of the cars fam
lily, has fingers of iron. The poor girl
gave gasp and fell back in her chair
almost fainting with pain. George made
a motion as if to catch the malicious
brute by the collar, but a glance from
his cousin restrained him. Serge passed
on, and the dance was finished some

ana bitterly distressed for his pretty
cousin; she white-lipped and desperate
