Wales is infatuated with the daughter
of the woman who, twenty years ago,
was the object of lavish attentions
from the heir apparent.
Like father, like son. Like mother,
like daughter.
Is it inherited beauty and inherited
susceptibility that draws those two to
each other? Does the daughter Of
Mrs. CORVALLIS West derive from her
mother an indefinable power of fasci-
nation which, exerted once over AL
bert Edward, finds equal sway over
his son? It's an interesting question
for the psychologist.
Every one will recollect Prince
George as the second son of the Prince
of Wales, and that he married the for
mer fiancee of his dead brother, the
Princess May of Teck.
The betrothal of the Princess May to
Prince George of Wales was one dis

French would call "Of reason"
1t was perfectly well understood at
the time that the Duke of York had
acceded to his royal grandmother's
wishes only after a vigorous and pas

The name of this young woman was
Miss Tryon. She was the niece of one

Duke OF York is called, learned his

The Duke of York's rnorganatic Uifa
was, up to short time since, living in
Richmond with her two children. She
has been pensiOned, and just before the
marriage of the duke with the Princess
May she obeyed orders and became the
wife CT a poor gentleman provided for
the occasion.
Occasionally rumors have found their
way to the public to the effect that all
was not plain sailing in the household
of the Duke of York, and even before
the birth of the first baby it was re-
ported that the duchess had declined
to remain at Sandringham for her ac-
couchement and that she spent her time
almost exclusively with her parents.
