The Mother of Kings.

On August 10 in 1896 was born lit
tie princess, Elizabeth, whom Fate des-
tined to be the foundress of our reigning
dynasty, as her younger brother. the i'll
starred Charles L., was to be the ances-
tor of the elder branch Of Stuart. From
either the brother or the sister every liv-
ing member of every reigning family is
descended. 1t is little remarkable that
James l., the only child of an only child
of an only child is the ancestor of every
princely parsonage in Europe, as well as
of many others.
Elizabeth, who was named after our
queen of spacious times" was deeply
attached to Henry, the eldest son of
James L., who died in his fathers life
time. She married in 1913 the Palgrave
of the Rhine, who afterward became the
winter King of Bohemia, and, after
much suffering, died in 1852, just as
Gustavius Adolphus of Sweden, who had
been a claimant for Elizabeth's hand,
was triumphing. The widowed Queen
lived on poor allowances from England,
Holland or the Rhine states until she
returned to England after the restOra-
ton of her nephew, Charles ii. She
then resided in Lord Craven's house IN
Drury lane, where she died in 1862.
We cannot now measure what the
charms and wit were which gained for
her the name of Queen of Hearts" and
the admiration of all who knew her. She
was not clever. She was not on the best
of terms with all of her numerous chill

Catholics 1t was owing to this fact that
