Princess of Wales Accomplishment
4 A pleasant story told of the Princess
Wales described her visit to an cid
protege of hers living in one of the
cottages at Sandringham The good
dame was knitting a stocking,
and the princess took it out of her hand
saying: You can't do the heel as fast
| as | can" And as she sat and chatted
this queen to be knitted the nattiest
/ heel possible. It is needless to say that
sacred stocking has since remained in
status quo and treasured in a drawer
with the needles just as the princess
left them. Particularly since her sons
death the princess has seemed 10 enjoy
herself best when quietly occupied in
some of the wonlanly arts she learend
to turn her hand to in her girlhood
days, when she fashioned her own
gowns and trimmed her own bonnets
to say nothing of doing" her own fine
laces. She is very fond of piano play
ing and holds an honorary degree as
doctor of music. When her sister, the
Empress of Russia, is with her, they
spend many happy mornings playing
eight-handed duets together with the
Princesses Victoria and Maud All
kinds of fine needle work the gentle
lady rejoices in, and spends happy
hours like other grandmothers, not
royal, stitching on the little frocks for
her grandchild Besides her many
other accomplishments. the princess
can cut a gown to perfection, and even
gives hints to her Paris designer, which
results in her being accounted the best
dressed woman in England.-Philadel-
