was favorite with all the young peo-
pie of her circle. 1t is a pleasant com.
mentary on her character to recall tha

not slow in searching out the ones who
[ had been the friends of her girlhood
} and to in every instance and with al
cordiality and earneStneSS, renew cloS'
1 relations. The return of the Princes
to the Islands was made the occasion
, of a demonstration. 1t was soon learn
$ ed that she was worthy of affection an6
