Princess Victoria of England, the I'M
married daughter of Edward VII, has the
most curious hobby of any in a family
that has several unusual fads. She is
deeply interested in bookbinding.
How she happened to choose that par
ticular hobby nobody seems to know, but
for several years she has devoted a great
deal of time to learning how to be an
expert bookbinder, and at last has become
one.
A few months ago several book covers
sent to an exhibition in the name of
Miss Matthews were favorably noticed
by the judges and received several prizes.
Nobody knew who the exhibitor was until
the prizes were awarded. Then it was
discovered that it was the Princess Vic
toria.
The Princess takes her hobbies very Sc
riously. Following the lead of her moth
err, Queen Alexandra, who is deeply in
terested in medicine and hospital work,
Princess Victoria began to study nursing
some years ago She took an examina-
ton in theoretical work and when she
passed announced her intention of becom-
ing hospital nurse.
1t was current gossip in London at the
time that the Prince and Princess of
Wales had great difficulty in convincing
her that it wouldn't be wise for her to do
so and that Victoria submitted only after
many tears.

For the test of the heart is trouble,
When life flows along like a song:
But the man worth while is the one who
can smile
When everything goes dead wronk;
It's easy enough 10 be pleasant,
And it always comes with the years.
But the smile that is worth the praise
of earth
Is the smile that comes through tears.
1t is easy enough to be prudent,
When nothing tempts you TO stray;
When without or within no voice OF sin
Is Turing your soul away;
But it's only negative virtue
Until 1t is tried by fire,
And the life that is worth the honor of
earth
Is the one that resists desire
BY the cynic, the sad, the fallen,
Who had no strength for the strife,
The worlds highway is numbered to-day;
They make up the item Of life,
But the virtue that conques passion,
And the sorrow that hides in smile
1t is these that are worth the homage OF
earth,
For we find them but once in a while.
ella Wheeler Wilcox.

When a woman devotes one-half OF her
life to thoughts of dress she absolutely
takes the whole question out of it's prop
er relation to her life; and belittles the
talents which God gave her for far great
er things" writes Edward BOX, in reply
to woman correspondent, in the April
Ladies' Home Journal. ut is, indeed, a
grave question whether she does not de-
base herself. Nor villa she be well dress
ed the chances are far greater that she
will be 'over-dressed.' No woman who
has any regard for what is worth while
in this world, and for what will bring
her the surest and fullest happiness in
the long run, will so dissipate her ener-
giles and vitality. The right to dress pref
tily and becomingly belongs to every wo-
man. 1t is her birthright, and her duty.
A disregard of dress, or the affectatiou
of queer of freakish dressing. does not
belong to a normal woman. But to make
dress one of the vital things of life is
carrying it beyond the ridiculous point and
close to the criminal. And 1t is just this
rightful adjustment of the things in life
which simplicity does for us. 1t gives
rightful place and a rightful value to
each. 1t doesn't belittle the one nor dis
tort the other"
