Queen. Surely, when one considers all the
temptations of one Kind and another to
which a woman in8the position of the
royal lady who has until now borne the
title of Princess of Wales is exposed. cv-
cry one intent on fiattering her. and many
endeavoring in vain to poison her mind
against those whom they wish to Dust
from her favor, the fact that she could
be without a single mistake in her record
indicates that, far from being a dull or
foolish person, she must be possessed of
extraordinary cleverness.
Equally mistaken is the impression
which prevails that she has taken no part
whatsoever in public life. 1t was esti-
mated the other day that through her
personal influence and direct action she
has during the nearly four decades that
have elapsed since she first came to Eng
land as/the bride of the then Prince of
Wales, been instrumental in securing the
subscription and contribution of no less
! than $2500O0,0O0 for charitable and philan-
thropic enterprises. This in itself is an
achievement which conveys some idea of
the usefulness of the royal lady's life and
the benefit which she has proved to the
land of her adoption.
Not merely columns, but volumes could

kindness. of generosity and of tender con-
SlderatlOn FOR others. but ] will merely re-
late one little incident which occurs to
me at the present moment. and which
may serve to illustrate the sympathy
which she feels. and which can only be
surpassed by the sympathy which she in
spires. Some time ago, when she was In
London, an old lady in waiting of her
mother, the late Queen of Denmark, lay
dying in the Royal Palace at Copenha-
gen. She had known the present Queen
of England since the latter's infancy and
was deeply attached to her. King
Christian writes every week to his
daughter in England, and in one of
his, letters declared that the dying ladys
one wish was to speak with her Princess
Alex" before She expired. Alexandra was
quite unable to leave England at the time,
but she spoke tender and sympathetic
message into a photograph and dispatched
it 10 Copenhagen by special messenger
the ladys eyes when the photograph gave
out its message of love and hope. and as
the last words died away and only the
vibrations of the phonograph fingered on
the air she sighed happily. and with God
bless you, dear on her lips passed away
to another world
If anything could console the English
people for the loss which they have sus-
tanned in the person of Victoria il is the
knowledge that their new Queen is like
her lamented mother-in-law. woman
of singularly blameless life, of kindly
disposition, pattern of all domestic vir-
tues, a woman whose heart goes out in.

The Vanderbilt Weddings.

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
This is little story of contrast, span
ming over a brief century of time.
Last Monday Alfred Gwynne Wander

heir to a great fortune, was married al
Newport to Miss Elsie French. The tele

bration. Nothing that money could do

was left undone.
The brides wedding gown cost 81 goo,
aud her veil the same amount. New
York orchestra was paid $1,000 for perform
ing at the ceremony. The minister's fee
was $500. Special trains bringing guests
from New York and Boston added $220J
to the expenses of the day. The bride
groom's gift to the bride was a silver oox
containing securities valued at 49, 700. 900;
and diamond, ruby and emerald erna-
ments presented by friends and relatives
cost considerably over a million dollars.

his struggle for a place in the world by
