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

1t is no exaggeration to say that
rincess Margaret of Connaught, King
Idward's pretty niece, who "came OUT
a ball in Dublin recently, is an ex-
tremely important figure on the inter
national chessboard. She may take
Ling.
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 thr ones 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
iseS to be so brilliant. Her tempera
ment is just what the temperament
of 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 a 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 a 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

Cure for Chapped Hands.

The maid of all work plunging he1
hands in hot soapsuds and with them
half dried, perhaps, hanging clothes
in the wintry air will often suffer pain
fully from hand-chapping during the
cold weather. 1t is the thoughtful
mistress who will see that bowl of
Indian meal is kept in convenient
place near the kitchen sink, and the
girl encouraged to dip her hands, while
still moist from water, frequently into
the velvety grains. Afterwards, dry
the hands thoroughly.

when all nearer male heirs are lack.
ing, there is an excellent chance Of
succession for the six-year-old eldest
daughter of the present ruler.
The picture taken of this little girl
bending over her youngest sister has
proved throughout Russia one of the
most popular of the royal photo
graphs. 1t is admired because it
shows that in spite of the fact that
all the cars children ire girls, they
are wonderfully pretty girls and that
the charm and character of the ED
est is clearly written in her counte.

Princess Margaret's profile and the
contour of her face.
1t has been remarked more than
once that the sprightliness that is so
characteristic of both Princess Mar
garet and her younger sister, Princess
Patricia, must have come to them
from their amiable father, rather than
from the duchess, who never has fully
overcome the shyness that once was
almost malady with her. She was
the daughter of Prince Charles Fred
erick of Prussia, and when first she
settled in England her timidity made
life a burden to her. At the first din
ner parties at which she was obliged
to preside as hostess she was so nerv-
Gus that she used never to dare to lift
a glass of wine to her lips for fear Of
spilling it, and even now she appears
at great functions as seldom as
possible, and infinitely prefers a
small dinner with two or three close
friends. Her married life, however,
has been fairly happy. She is proud
of the great popularity which her hus-
band, the duke, enjoys, and he relies
more than a little on her tact and iudg-
ment.
For the first time, the Connaughts
are about to have home of their own
in London. Hitherto, this section of
the royal family has lived for the most
part at the dukes country place, Bag
shot park, in Surrey, and when in town
have had apartments in Buckingham
palace. Now, however, Clarence house
the square saffron-colored mansion
hard by old ST. James palace, is be.
ing entirely refitted for them. Until
recently it has been the home of the
kings widowed sister-in-law, the Ouch
ess of Saxe-Coburg. The Connaught.
are to move in Immediately, and it i.
expected that the duke will entertain
lavishly during the coronation sea
son.

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. 1t 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 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
wonderful future has hardly known
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
is proven by a drive she made re.
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
arms and held her up, saying at tn,
top of her voice: isn't she sweet .
The cheers rang out again and again
the duchess nodded gayly and helc
the baby for everybody to see unit
the carriage rolled on.-St. Loui

That there are a few consolatory
facts concerning delicate babies that
their parents may lay to heart. That,
in the first place, the the most

New Orleans, La, March 2T-LiVer-
pool advices were more favorable han
expectd, consequently our market open
ed 2 to points higher and advanced
8 to 6 additional on fresh buying. Real
izing later occasioned a decline of from
the top. but the firmness of spots and
covering over the holidays again caused
an Improvement, making the net gain
8 points in the day. Bombay receipts for
the week were $1,000 against $4,000 last
year and 5000 year before last, aggre-
eating from September LIST to date 1915
600 against 1850 900 last year and 100000
year before last. The port receipts while
light are offset by the accumulation in
the interior towns and the chances are
the amount brought into sight during
the week will be about the same as last
wear. The recent reaction has animated
all of the speculative short interest;
therefore, it will be necessary to have
continued buying or marked falling off
in receipts to enhance values further
Friday. March 18th, and Saturday, March
18th are close holidays, therefore there
will be no trading on the curb.

New York, March 27.-The general con-
dition of the dry goods market is with
out change. For immediate needs the
orders coming forward are as they have
been during the week, of limited individ-
ual extent, but in the aggregate they ac-
count for a very stable amount of mer-
chandise. Prices remain firm at former
quotations.
COTTON.
New York, March 27.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady with prices to 4
points higher in partial response to firm
Liverpool cables and light port receipts,
further advancing after the call to S.67
fer July on active general buying. Bull
support was something of a feature on
the early rise though shorts were the
more eager buyers. However, strike re-
ports from number of Southern mills
with further promising labor advices
from Lowell resulted in a change of front
on the part of the room trade and be-
fore II o'clock the whole list was off
some to points under selling for both
accounts Pit shorts unhesitatingly sold
May and July contracts. 1t was noticed
that European representatives and houses
accustomed to handle New Orleans orders
were taking nearly all the short cotton
sold and this led conservative operators
to look for a rally in the event of esti-
mates for tomorrow's New Orleans and
Houston receipts being small. The figures
proved to be decidedly below the actual
receipts of same day last year and for
the res: of the session the market was
decidedly steady with top prices of the
day reached in the last half hour on a
furry of general buying led by shorts. The
close was very steady with prices net
to 13 points higher.
