THE PRINCESS VICTORIA.

dorf Astor and Lord Rosebery in one
short year; yet that is what Victoria is re-
ported to have done.
The Princess Victoria was born thirty
years ago in the days when the United
States was claiming little of the world 5
attention. AS a child she was particularly
fond of hearing about the strange young
country, with history shorter than many
a peer of her fathers realm. In the library
at Windsor there is picture Of little Vic
oria, seated by her fathers knee, listen
ing to a child's history of the United
States which is being read to her by text
and picture. The page lies open at bui-
ialo hunt in the Rockies.
This being true it is not strange that her
fancy should have been attracted to that
richest American of them all, William
Waldorf Aston. She read his magazine,
contributed to it, it is said, studied its pol
Icy and manifested much approval. She
was strangely impressed by the fact that,

Before this time had come Lord Rose

NE most amtable of men but his imper-
leclions grew upon her. His insomnia, his
hervousness, his love of ease, his sportive-

une Dame Rumor loudly whispered the
oelrothal of Rosebery and the Princess,
but it was declared off only a little later.

The only brother of the family, the
Duke of York, stepped into the matrimon-
ial halter five years ago and soon had
three small children TO show for the sue
cession; but Victoria seeing all this re-
manned at home and smiled well content
IF she shared none of the shouts of the
English populace to abide in the love of
her father and mother
All the daughters of Queen Victoria went
early. The Empress Frederick married at
seventeen; the Princess Alice married at
nineteen. The Princess Christian said good
bye TO home a twenty. The Warehouses
of Lorne was only twenty three. The Priu-
cess Beatrice remained longest for she did
not bestow her hand upon Henry of Bat
tenburg until in her twenty-eighth year.
But none remained at home until thirty.
The only precedent in the immediate fam
lily of the Queen was Mary of Teck, the
mother of the Duchess of York. For rea-
sons of family the Princess was not al
lowed to marry until her thirty-thlrd year.
In 1866, after many years of waiting she
was allowed TO marry Francis Duke of
Teck. Ten years before she was engaged
10 the King of Holland, but on the medi-
cal opinion that she would never perpet-
uate the succession, the engagement was
broken. But Mary did raise a family Three
prosperous children survive her, the most
famous of whom is the Princess May,
Duchess of York.
The Princess Victoria of Wales has re-
manned single not from family reasons, nor
from reasons of state. Simply through a
lack of inclination has she declined to ac-
cept any of the hands that might have
grasped hers in marriage. When Louise
married il was expected Victoria would
soon follow and when little Maud went to

New York, Aug. 26.-The cables connect
the name of Victoria Alexandria, second
daughter of the Prince of Wales. with that
of John Barring, Lord Ravelstoke head of
the banking house of Barring Brothers &
Co.
Word comes that the Princess is en-
gagged to Lord Ravelstole; and that the be-
trolhal only awaits the formal approval
of the Queen grandmother.
If this be true then the greatest coquette
OF modern days is caught in a net of her
own weaving. Courted for years by the
most prominent men of England, Victoria
has picked them up, played with their af-
feations and cast them aside as idly as
though they were puppies from her ia

Peers have been treated in this way,

gan to circulate that she was not in her

The Spanish gypsy has not been IN the
least misrepresented by the dramatists in
his ability to intrigue, and from this rea-
son he becomes a political factor of no
mean Importance In times of social dis
order and revolution. The gypsy bands
throughout Spain are everywhere in COM

After that young Barring came to Amer

takes prestige over many others of royal

a subject, she must fan back with him.
Unless, perehance, she elect TO walk alone
in the royal procession, while he follows

Her aunt, the Princess Louise, Marchion-

declining 30 attend slate dinners. She

The Princess Victoria while not fabu-

THE SPANISH GYPSY AT HOME.
He Is Fond of Music, Dancing and
Intrigue.

INTRIGUE
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
As an element of Spanish population
the gypsy is by no means unimportant OF
the 100000 gypsies who wander to and fro
over Europe, more than one-eighth make
themselves at home within the limits of
Spain, and thus even were they otherwise
of no consequence, their numerical
strength would render them objects of in
tereet to the government. The compare
tive numerousness of gypsies in Spain Is
due to many circumstances. most of which
are the outgrowth of nineteenth century
civilization. Since the beginning of this
century the Enclosure of land by fences
in England France, Germany and Austria
has become almost universal, and even
where pastures and meadow lands are not
inclosed the proprietors guard their own
rights with jealous care and refuse to per-
nit on their property an encampment Of
people who in every country are, in the
eye of the law, Migrants. and in most are
considered little better than criminals.
Where the Enclosure of land is almost
universal the gypsy is at disadvantage,
and, hampered in his freedom by the jeal-
ousy of land owners. he gladly seeks some
country where he is left a little more to
his own devices. There are few If any
restrictions upon his wanderings in Spain;
his moral tone and habits closely resemble
those of the lower class Spaniard The
people are thoroughly congenial to him and
the miIdness of the climate throughout
the year makes an outdoor residence in
Spain greatly preferable TO indoor life, so
with a lack of laws against him, popular
feeling in his favor and sky where loaf
ing is a pleasure. the gypsy is more at
home in Spain than elsewhere, and con-
sequently is more numerous among the
dons than in any other land in Europe.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from q mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from q mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer"
and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and a great deal
OF exaggeration in this. If q young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets 1t.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for exaInina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letter from Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs
Pinkham helped her:
My health became so poor that I
had to leave school. ] was tired all tho
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back l was also troubled
with irregularity of menscs. l was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as we'll as 1
a good color. am completely cured OF
irregularity."
