be nice for the lad to know who had
been speaking 10 him, said to him:
THAT lady who has been speaking to
you was the princess OF Wales; would
you like to come up and make your bow
70 her and speak to her?" The boy was
delighted and jumped off his chair. lie
was led up to the princess and she was
told Of his wish, TO which she very read
lily acceded, The bow was made, and
then came the speech: SLOW are you,
miss"' n speech which was hardly en-
pected, but which was answered by five
minutes conversation, and the boy re-
turned to his chair proud and happy.
