PRINCESS And FAMILY
TO WINTER IN EGYPT

LONDON, Dec. 19.-Princess Henry, OF
Battenberg, the youngest sister of King
Edward, accompanied by her daughter,
Princess Eugene. and her youngest boy,
Prince Maurice. VIII spend the entire win
ter in Egypt. partly on the Nile. with the
object Of building up the frail health and
delicate constitution of the little prince,
who is the youngest Of the Battenberg boys.
He is not so Ill, however, that his mother
will not be able to take part in some Of
the gayeties OF the Cairo season. The prin-
cess, until the death Of her mother, Queen
Victoria, was the latters constant COM
panion, and in consequence thereof was
debarred from mingling with society. Since
she has come out of mourning, however.
she has manifested a pronounced taste for
social gayety, and enjoys 1t with additional
zest for having been so long deprived
thereof.
While several members of the English
royal family have visited Egypt either Of
ficially or for purposes Of pleasure, the trip
Of Princess Henry and Of her children will
be the first undertaken for the sake of
health since King Edward and Queen AL
exandra were there In 1872, during the
Kings convalescence from the severe ILL
ness to which he had almost succumbed In
the preceding year.
