Women Who Wear Well.

It Is astonishing how great change
few years of married life often make In
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is radely handled. The
matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is rebbing the cheek
of its freshness aud the form of its
fairness.

Baron Stockmar was another interesting
personality who came into intimate contact
with the future Queen in her early years.
At the time OF her accession he was 40 years
old, but he had come to England more than
twenty years before as private physician
TO Prince Leopold. He afterward became
Prince Leopold's private secretary and took
a prominent part as the Princes represent
alive in tine successive negotiations with
regard to his candidature for the thrones
Of Greece and Belgium. After the Princess
Victoria became Queen, StOckmar joined
the court in his private capacity, and for
fifteen months he held an unofficial position
as her chief adviser. There was a wide
spread feeling OF resentment in the minds
Of the English people at h German in
fuences that were supposed to be brought
TO bear upon the Queen. and Lord Melbourne
found it necessary TO make a public and
categorical denial Of the charge that Stock
mar was acting rs the Queens private
secretary. The charge was virtually
though not technically true. Stookmar
lived at court, had interviews with tho
Queen and her Ministers, and though be
industriously e~ndeavOred to eface himself
there Is no doubt that he was consulted on
most important questions. In 1888 King
Leopold cOnfided to him, with the Queens
knowledge and consent, a mission OF great
delicacy. He was requested to accompany
Prince Albert OF 1e-Coburg-Gotha on q
tour Of Italy, with the aim Of completing
the Princes education and In order to
satisfy himself that the Prince would be q
worthy oonsort for the Queen.
This task ne discharged admirably and
became the most trusted Of all the Prin0o's
friends. There are extant many letters Of
Stockmar's TO the Prince which prove that
the writer never shrank from speaking the
plainest truths on matters OF duty and
faults Of temperament, without any cour-
tierlike attempt TO blink criticism that might
be unpalatable. Prince Albert. on his
part, had the generosity and humility to
value this trait Of Stockmar's very highly;
20 such an extent. indeed. that Stockmar's
i~nfiusnoe possessed, IL anything. too great
a p~reponderance. Stockmar had made q
close study OF English political institutions.
but, though he grasped the constitutional
theory Of the English throne. and saw that
for the sovereign II was OF prime necessity
20 hold a position independent OF party.
he never clearly understood that the mon
arch ought to avoid as far as possible con-
nection with political details. StOckmar's
mistaken view OF the British sOvereign's
function was that he should DO practically
Premier. and much OF the jealousy that was
felt on various occasions at the position
which Prince Albert assumed with regard
to political situations is referable 10 Stock

most decisive terms. On the following day

should be informed that her Majesty was

in 1872 Queen Victoria wrote down with
her own hand some "reminiscences Of her
early childhood in which she said: Il was
brought up very sim~ply-never had a room

slept in my mothers room till l came to
the throne. At Claremont and in the small
houses at the bathing places I sat and took

I was not fond Of learning " a little child
and bafiied every attempt 10 teach me my

In 1880, when her daughter was eleven
years old. the Duchess OF Ken wished to be
satisfied that the system Of education then

verdict. which was confirmed by the Arch

In an examination, was that the Princess
should continue for some time to come

which had been hitherto followed and under

IN a memorandum penned by Prince
Albert on December %, 1851. he mentions
that on his expressing to Lord John Russell
the conviction hat Lord Palmerston could
not be very formidable to the Wing Govern
ment Lord john replied: Il hope IL will
not como true what Lord Derby then
Lord Stanley said. after the last Minis
terial crisis, when l quizzed him at not
having been able to get a Foreign Secre-
tary-'next time / shall nave Lord Palmer
ston." But a short time elapsed before
the event proved that Lord John Russell
knew a great deal more about the influence
possessed by Palmerston in the House Of
Commons than did the Prince Consort.
Early in 1852 the Wing Government. feeling
itself TO be shaken in public credit by the
dismissal Of Lord Pslmerston. attempted
to form a coalition with the PeeIites, and
made an Offer OF ONCE TO Sir James Graham.
The overtures failed, and on February
%. 1852. the ex-Foreign Secretary succeeded
in defeating the Government on their
militia bill, and Lord John Russell resigned,
whercupoD a Ministry was formed by
Lord Derby from the Protectionist party,
Mr.. Disraeli becoming Chancellor Of the
Exchequer. Notwithstanding the ~dexterity
eVlnCeu by the aCJer IN ms
Of the House Of Commons without a ma
jority, the elections held in tho summer
did not improve materially the position
Of tho Derby Ministry. and although on
the meeting Of Parliament in the autumn
they abandoned protection. they were
defeated presently by a combination Of
Wings, Peelites and Radicals. from among
whom Lord L~ansdowne and Lord Aber-
deem (inally the latter alone) were called
upon to construct a Government. Lord
Aberdeen. however. insisted upon in
Guiding Lord Palmerston in the Cabinet,
as an occupant Of the Home ONCE. and
the Queen had TO aoquiesce. Before the
end Of the year 1853. however. Palmerston
had resigned. and although he was per-
suaded to withdraw his resignation the
Aberdeen Government was beaten, owing
to public dissatisfaction with the conduct
Of the Crimean War. and Queen Victoria
had TO conlide the task Of constructing a
new Cabinet to Lord Palmerston, whom
the voice Of the country Enthusiastically
indicated for the Premiership.

In August. tSll. Lord Melbourne again
resigned and Sir Robert Peel was Once more
called upon 10 form a Government. This
time tho b~edchnmber question was settled
by a compromise. The Queen informed
the Minister hat three Of her adies had
resigned and TINT she did not wish TO I'LL
up their places Immediately. She mem
toned one lady. however. to whose APP
pointment Peel Immediately agreed and
said he hoped the Queen understood that.
provided she received some who had a
leaning toward the politics OF the Con-
sentative Administration, she might take
any she liked. and hat OF course the noti-
hcatiOn Of the appointment should come
from her. The Queen said she wished to

administration should come In, for she vas
opposed to changes. Peel seems to have
been we'll satisfied with the arrangements
and tho Queen got on very we'll with him,
though she never conceived the attach

There ia no doubt that Lord Melbourne
retained his influence long after his re-
tirement from once. For some time
Queen Victoria used 70 write him continu-
ally about public business. a proceeding
which ~ Baron Stockmar pointed out was
not easily reooncilable with loyalty to her
