PERPETUAL WlDOWHOOD.
Pledge of Princess Beatrice Made to Her
Queen Mother.

Pledge of Princess Beatrice Made to Her
Queen Mother.
LONDON, Feb l2.-The Princess Be-
atrice, youngest and favorite daughter
of Queen Victoria. and whose husband
Prince Henry of Battenberg, died on
board the naval steamship Blonde off
the west coast of Africa in January of
last year, has made pledge of perpet-
ual widowhood to her majesty. Wheth-
er the latter made a request for it is
not known, but the information that
the pledge has been given comes from
a source within the royal circle that is
not open to question. 1t explains,
moreover, the peculiar motto attached
by the Princess Beatrice to the wreath
which she placed upon the tomb of her
husband, which read: Until death
divides us, until death reunites us"
The queens objection to second mar
riages is well known. She considers
the taking of second husband or wife
to be as bad as bigamy and the lack of
respect paid to the memory of the dead
to DO worse than sacrilege. OF recent
years the lord chamberlain has crossed
from the lists of those eligible to be re-
ceived at court the names of those con-
tracing second marriages. The queens
notions on this subject really amount TO
mania and it is therefore not sur
prising that the Princess Beatrice has
readily fallen in with her views.
