PRINCESS MARGARET.
Daughter OF Duke of COnnaught Is
the Most Attractive Member
of British Royalty.

1t is no eXaggeration to say that
Princess Margaret of Connaught, King
Edwards pretty niece, who ''came OUT
at ball in Dublin recently, is an ex-
tremely important figure on the inter
national chessboard. She may take a
king.
The lively daughter of the duke of
Connaught is generally regarded in
continental diplomatic circles as the
most eligible of royal young women,
while those of her own country rec
ognize in Princess Margaret Great
Britain's best hope for a fresh Euro
pean alliance. Already her name has
been mentioned in connection with
those of the prospective successors to
the two proudest thrones in Europe,
and it is hardly matter of doubt that,
sooner or later, some especially ex-
allied match will be made for her.
The fact that among her relatives
Princess Margaret is known as DAISY"
goes far to prove that there is little
stateliness or undue self-conscious-
ness about the girl whose future prom
iEes to be so brilliant. Her tempera-
nent is just what the temperament
of a girl of 20 ought to be-lively and
not too serious. She is tall and grace
full and has the knack of making her
self liked wherever she goes. She rides
horseback; she is devotee of the
camera and she is never so happy as
when there is a dance in prospect.
Probably much of the tact and gra-
ciousness for which she is famous
Princess Margaret acquired from her
grandmother, Queen Victoria, whose
almost constant companion she was
for long time. Her parents, the duke
and duchess of ,Connaught, some years
ago made prolonged visit to India,
leaving Princess Margaret and her
younger sister in Queen Victoria's
charge. Margaret was an especial ia
Vorite of her royal grandmother, who
often commented on the resemblance
to herself, which can be noticed in

Elderly Women in White.

There is considerable criticism in
French circles over the fact that at a
recent wedding not only the bride, but
the mother of the bride, was attire
in a white gown. The gown in ques-
ton was, to be sure, a heavy white
guipure, trimmed with bands of err
mine, a costume certainly sufficiently
rich and elaborate to suit a woman
only little over 40. It is, however, a
noticeable fact that large number of
women past their youth are wearing
white for the daytime and finding it
becoming. As a couturiere approached
on the subject said: ga woman is
never too old to wear white, but she
may be too ugly. A pretty woman may
wear white until she is so. but an ugly
woman should never wear it,

most popular of the royal photo
shows that in spite of the fact that
all the cars children are girls, they
are wonderfully pretty girls and that
the charm and character of the eld-
est is clearly written in her counte-
nance. Six years ago when she was
born loyal Russia was deeply disap-
pointed. The car, however, gallant
ly assured his people that he was de-
lighted with his little girl and in
spite of the fact that three more tiny
women have come to bless his nur-
sery he has greeted them affection
ately and given to the first the most
unstinted devotion. It is whispered
in Russia that when the news of the
sex of the first baby was given the
emperor he smilingly said she would
some day rule Russia. To the in
finite satisfaction of her nurses and
parents she proved not only to pos
sess a wonderful physique, but all
the beauty of her mother and the
sound sense of her Danish grand
mother.
In the royal Russian household
there seemed to be from the hour of
her birth a belief that she would
never have a brother and on her
training the most Extraordinary
amount of care and attention has
been lavished. This little girl with
a wonderful future has hardly known
a days illness, she talked and walked
sooner than is the rule even with ro-
bust and forward children and she
possesses a wisdom and gravity far
beyond her years. Where she has ap-
peared in public her beauty and
grace have enchanted the people
among whom she is frequently re-
ferred to as ''the little empress and
though her sisters are pretty, sweet
creatures, Grand Duchess Olga easily
eclipses them.
Though but six the grand duchess
tact and intuition are unerring, as
Gently with her baby sister, Grand
Duchess Anastasia, through the
streets of ST. Petersburg. The two
children were in a big closed car
rage with their nurses, and were fol-
lowing their parents to the railway
station. There was a moments halt
along the route and when the
duchess lovely face was seen at the
carriage window a cheer rose from
the people behind the guards. With
right royal grace the child calmly
took her baby sister from the nurses
arms and held her up, saying at the
top of her voice: 'Isn't she sweet ?''
The cheers rang out again and again,
the duchess nodded gaylY and held
the baby for everybody to see until
the carriage rolled on.-St. Louis

Amy's Birthday
Flowers
BY En1zHeHTR MecRRcKEN.

MRS. DALE'S fingers trembled, and
Nt her lips trembled, too, as she
stood before her mirror, tying her bon
net strings and pinning her veil. Amy
had usually tied her bonnet strings and
pinned her veil.
1t was almost year since she had
one day folded Amy's hands and slipped
into them the last flowers that they
ever would hold in the world, but she
had not yet grown accustomed to doing
for herself all the little things those
once busy hands had done for her.
During the time that was almost a
year she had missed Amy with that
loneliness with which a mother does
miss the daughter who goes away into
the great, strange silence just when
she is old enough to be her mothers
friend as we'll as her child. Mrs. Dale
missed all those things that had made
up Amy's life, and, perhaps most, she
missed the little things that Amy had
done for her, and that now she did for
herself.
Then, too, Amy had been her only
daughter. Mrs. Da1e's two sons were
in college, and her husband was away
from home all day. She had many in
terests, and many duties, too, yet she
was very lonely. She was much more
lonely without Amy than even her hus-
band or her sons could know.
AS she stood before the mirror, tying
her bonnet strings and pinning her
veil, her heart was even heavier than it
usually was. The next day would be
Amy's birthday, and instead of pre-
pairing gifts and susprises Mrs. Dale
was about to go into the city to buy
the most beautiful flowers she could
find to lay on the girls grave. Amy had
loved flowers, and the next day would
be her first birthday in that other
world, that world in which mothers are
never left lonely.
Mrs. Dale was thinking all this tic
herself as she went into the city or
the trolley car. 1t was September and
it was afternoon. The car went past
fields beginning to turn brown, and
between lines of trees beginning tc
show among their green sometimes a
red leaf, or leaf of bright gold. The
sun made the leaves all the brighter
and it gilded the brown fields, too, and
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1902-04-19

made the trees cast long shadows.
Amy had alyays been so glad that her
birthday had fallen on one of the mys-
tic days that come just before Septem-
Der slips into October.
Her mother thought of that, too. She
thought of so many things about which
Amy had been glad. She was little
less sad and lonely as she remembered
some of them. She thought and re-
membered all the time that she was in
the trolley car, and even after she was
in the city, and walking along the
crowded street to a florists shop on
one of its corners.
When she reached the florists shop
she stopped and stood looking at the
flowers in the show windows.
'What shall get?" she said to her
self. "Roses, white roses; Amy always
loved them. Or vio1ets-it is rather
early for violets, though. Or lilies-I
might get lilies
For a moment she almost forgot that
she was not buying them to give into
Amy's eager hands. She was not very
rich, and she began to consider. She
compared in her mind the number of
roses with the number of lilies that she
might get. She decided upon the roses.
''They are sweeter and simpler for a
young girl like Amy" she said to her
self, gently.
She turned away from the windows,
and was just about to open the door
of the florists shop when she saw COM
ing up the street toward her one of
Amy's girl friends. She paused and
waited. She had always been very
friendly with the girls, and now she
felt even a greater interest in them.
She had especially liked Eleanor
Greer.
