THEY KISSED VICTORIA.
Death OF the Last Member of the So
otety of the Royal Kiss
In Paris.

Mrs. Eleanor Jeffreys, English, from
Raleigh, Essex, died in this city, aged
oG, says a Paris correspondent. With
her disappeared the Society of the Kiss
Royal! of which she was the only sur
vivri.| n.Gmber.
The societShTns composed originally
Of IS young Women who had kissed
Queen Victoria at the cost of a shilling
each. That happened when her gra-
cious majesty was an infant in the
cradle.
One day her nurse had taken her out
in pony cart for an airing in Rich
mond park. The tiny princess was
recognized by the students of one of the
most aristocratic girls schools in Lon
don. They surrounded the little car
riage and one of the girls offered to
give the nurse Il shilling if she would
let her kiss the pretty baby. The nurse
accepted.
Then all the other students, amid
great laughter and endearments to the
child. in turn paid the toll and kissed
the princess, and the servant made
quite Il little sum.
When Victoria had succeeded to the
throne of England the girls who had
kissed the queen formed friendly as
scciation, the Society of the Kiss Royal,
which Victoria honored shortly after
ward with very gracious, good
humored autograph letter, that finally
passed into the possession of Mrs. JET
freys, the last member.
