Queen Mary, popularity known as
"Bloody Mary" has not been pleasant
~ drawn for US by history, but certain
records of the time when she was a
young princess, occupying the danger
ous position of doubtful heir to the
throne of England, indicate that she was
not without human kindness. Mr.. Rich
ard Davey, in his history of Mary Tu-
dor, quotes from the princess "privy
purse expenses. " Mary had been forbid
den to call the Princess Elizabeth by
any title, but it is pleasant to note that
she refers to her affectionately as "my
little sister.
She sends her brother, afterward Ed
ward vi, q frock which she had en-
broidered for him and gave her sister
Elizabeth a cramoisie satin kirtle.
Again, she sends a box with silver
needlework in it for her "Sister Eliza
beth,'' and also worked a cap for her
baby brother and made his nurse,
Mother Jackson, present of bon
net and frontlets which cost 90 shil-
lings
