Alexandra, the next quen of En-

power welded by her husband. and

Belonging to her mother-in-law.
For this reason, and, perhaps, be-
cause she likes to keep herself young
enough to enjoy this, the princess of
Wales devotes portion of her time to
athletics. Her waist is marvel of
neatness, and she is grandmother

sylphlike figure, which has preserved
past middle age, she resorts to the
same means as were employed by the
late empress of Austria. She exercises

Alexandra has her little weaknesses
all womanly ones. She is found of
