Princess Louise of LOrnc.
woman at Home

The Princess Louise of Lorne, although
surrounded by crowd of young cousins
and neces at the jubilee festivities
shone as one Of the queens OF beauty
whenever she appeared. IL is well-nigh
impossible to believe that six-and- twenty
years have sped by since this almost
grlish-looking Princess was married to
the Scotch Marquis. Those who remem-
Der seeing the newly-wedded pair as
they left Windsor Castle under a shower
OF lice, white satin shoes, ard the new
broom that John Brown, in Highl1nd
fashion, threw after them, rub their
eyes In astonishment whenever they meet
the Princess, who, like the Sleeping
Beauty, scarcely changes as the years
go by. To a bright and sweet disposi-
ton and an unfaillng industry may. ]
think so youthful an appearance be at
tributeG. The Marquis and Marchisaess
live happily together In the enchantius
old palace OF Kensngton. OF the coUn-
try both are very fond, and at one timo
were fortunate in the possession OF a
pretty cottage near Tunbrldge Wells.
Lord Ronald Cover wrote: THE Prin-
cess is much attached 10 the place. and
II is pleasant TO see the busy German
housewife strongly developed In her; she
bustles about all day, looking after ard
experimenting all the domestic grange
ments, carving at meals, and generally
making herself useful. Besides being
useful the Princess knows how To be
ornamental No professional house
decorator can arrange room more deity
than she, and her leisure hours are givon
over entirely to the pursuit OF art. How
well she models and paints In oil aud
water-colors We all know. The Queen is
af h.r don
ments, and II gratiaed her much that
many OF the monograms. devices, and
Illuminated scrolls which adorned Ken.
sngton on the occasion OF the jubilee
visit were the work Of the Princess's
own hands.

day.

Company f. LIST Regiment, is to have
new lockers at its quarters at the Au-
Susta City hall. The companys property
room is not quite large enough to give a
full number of the lockers of the usual
size. and an upper tier or a row running
across the room is contemplated. 1t is
yet undecided whether it will be better to
nave two tiers against the wall, or sac
rifice floor space for the privilege of hay
ing all the lockers on the floor. The
mayor and Capt. Lovejoy are to look
over the premises and decide on some
plan. Capt. Lovejoy says that the neces-
sity of lockers is felt very much by off,
GERS and men, as they have valuable
State property to care for. AS IS uni
forms We're condemned shortly before the
encampment, that number of men in the
company have new uniforms This COM
pany is continuing its work at the range
with much visor. 1t was begun rather
late in the season, so when muster week
came the number of men who had quail
fled was unusually small, but the enthusi-
asm showed by the men promises good
results before the end of the season.
Capt. I4oveioy says that every possible
effort will be made to make up for lost
time.
