passion in her summer Wanderlngs, ana
unable to crafty his inclination as he
might have done had he not been a
prince and future heir of the throne,
he hit upon the idea of commissioning
the Crescent.
The Prince of Wales, when he heard
OF the intention of his son, determined
to stem the torrent of talk and in
sisted upon the curtailing of the cruise
and also saw that at every port the
Duke of York was met by the duchess
and her children.
Naturally the Duke of York lost in
tereSt in the cruise and was about to
return to London when he discovered
that the Princess PleSS-the object of
his infatuation-had arrived at CoWes.
Immediately upon receiving this
news the duke ordered the Crescent to
steam for Cowes direct. When he reach
ed that watering place he abandoned
the ship, and his admiration for the
Princess of Pless became more appar-
ent and more demonstratiVe than ever.
The Princess Pless is one of the
most eXquisitely pretty women of
fashion in England.
She was born Miss Daisy CORVALLIS
West, and is the eldest daughter of
Mrs. CORVALLIS West, the English
beauty. She is a granddaughter of the
lovely Lady olivia Fitzpatrick, and has
all the attractions which the girl of
Irish descent of gentle birth and breed
ing possesses.
It is difficult to describe a beauty of
the type of Mrs. CORVALLIS West and
her daughter because it consists in a
loneliness which does not exist in any

other one type. The Princess Pless is
very blonde, of little more than me-
dunn height, slender and graceful, with
laughing gray eyes, dainty mouth, per-
feet teeth and wonderful skin of pink
and white. She is known for her
saucy wit, for her grace and spright-
illness and for the fact that she is not
afraid Of any one under the shining
sun.
The Princess May was never, even
at her best, a good-looking young wom-
an. 1t is understood in England that
the present duchess was really much
in love with the Duke of Clarence,
whose untimely death occurred just
before the date set for their marriage
Her betrothal to the Duke of York
was matter CT state necessity, and
one cannot but sympathize with her
In her position, which forced her to
become the wife of a man who mani
testify cared nothing for her and for
whom she could not, under the circurn-
stances entertain a romantic affection
The duchess, in point of personal
charm and magnetism, stands no
chance with the merry little Princess
OF Pless. She is rather stolid, seri-
Gus and conscientious young woman,
at present much occupied with the
cares and responsibilities of her three
babies. She is tall, of large frame,
inclined already to embonpoint. dis
tinctly German-English in her dress.
the sort of woman who will follow
in the footsteps of her mother and
make a good comfortable matron, look
ing forty-five before she is thirty.
The mother of the Princess of Pless-
Mrs. CORVALLIS VESTS still a woman
of remarkable beauty.
Her fiirtation-if you choose to call
it so-with the Prince of Wales, which
occurred so many years ago, gave the
gentle Alexandra much grief.
1t is said in England that the Prince
OF Wales, who is very fond of the
duchess Of York, has determined that
the duke shall cease his attentions
to the Princess of Pless. 1t will be inter
eStlng to know how the Prince of
Wales proposes to accomplish this task
VIII he, perhaps, read him a lesson
rom rom the history of his own life? Will
there be a heart-to- heart talk betwean
father and son, and, if so, wouldn't il
make interesting reading?
