The first toast was "Organized

made brief response. DR.. Wright
followed with Education by Absorp-

thoughtful and to the point. He said
that men gathered education by ming

knowledge. The Club came in for we'll

spoke of the good work done here by

Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-31

'Indeed, 1 have, my lord, and I think
shall never forget the meaning of the word
slape."
Young Alexandrina Victoria as the niece OF
years old, but no high-born girl ever wore
palmer dresses or led more simple, unosten-
tatious home life than did she in the secluded
palace at Kensington, with her wise German
mother, and the dear half-sister Feodore, to
whom she was devotedly attached, and whose
name, many years later, she gave to one of
her own daughters, the Princess Beatrice Ma
rie keodore, for the Duke of Kent left more
debts than pounds behind him. and the fam
lily was obliged to live in as quiet and eco
nomical manner as was consistent with its
rank.
Happy as a lark, however, was the "sonsie"
lassie, riding on her pet donkey, attended by
a veteran soldier, who was the humble slave
of "my. princess learning her lessons at the
knee of her mother or of her excellent gov
-Mademoiselle Lehzen-and dressing her
dolls in smart court costumes, with plumes and
lappets, such as she had seen on her 'few and
far between" visits to her royal uncle-=George
the Fourth.
The pretty puppets were then set up on a
long board, by pegs fitting into their feet, and
went through numberless court receptions and
presentations.
The only drawback to her perfect content
was perhaps the lack of young companions,
for the royalty, ''that doth hedge a queen"
made it impossible for her to cultivate many
associates of her own age.
1t was, then, a real boon to the sprightly
little damsel when her Cousin Albert, an in
telligent, noble-hearted boy, three months her
junior, came from Germany to share in her
studies and her pleasures as well.
The warmest of friends and best of COM
rades they soon became, and the gallant little
'princeling" was always ready to gather flow
ers for his pale, blonde kinswoman, to trundle
the hoop with her, or to romp and play at
"tag" among the shrubbery,
Charming and tranquil were those childish
days at kensington-so thoughtless and free
from care-but wise little head was develop
ing upon those plump little royal shoulders,
and certain natural tact and graceful gift of
repartee made the young princess favorite
with her uncle, the King.
Thus, on one occasion, while staying at the
royal lodge. King George led his small niece
into the drawing room, near which band
was concealed.
Nov, Victoria" remarked his majesty,
'the band is in the next room, and shall
play any tune you please. What shall it

Quite as ready. also, was her answer on an
other occasion, when he asked her (which she

which she had partaken during stay at Wind

companion of her historical studies. Grave
ly she pored over it for some time, and then,
turning to her governess, asked:

cessor to the throne?'
Baroness Lehzen ,parried the question bv
replying: ''i' question Oy

Wonderful news was this for any little Girl
to hear, and, if she had not learned il then
she must have soon after; for it was but n
short time later that King William w sue-
ceeded King George, and that kind-hearted
sovereign and his good Queen Adelaide were
often desirous of showing his heiress to the
people.
With them she frequently appeared in pub.
lie. and her twelfth birthday, and many birth
days after, they celebrated at the court by
juvenile ball, to which all the youthful no
bility were invited, and at which she danced
with her cousins, the Princes of Cumberland
and Cambridge, and presided at a cross-ta-
BILE placed at the head of four long tables
where the little guests were seated.
So from childhood to a royal girlhood glided
little Alexandrina Victoria; and it has been
remarked that the responsibility of her sta
ton caused sweet gravity and staidness to
stamp her fair features and manner at an

Her music teacher, too, had taste OF her
wit when she commenced lessons upon the
piano. and, like many another girl, found prac,,
ticing drudgery; for, on being told that all
her future success in that accomplishment de-
pended on her being perfect mistress of the
Instrument" she exclaimed:
+ oh, L am to be mistress of the piano, am
Undoubtedly" was the assurance.
Then what would you think of me if L be-
came mistress at once?"
THAT would be impossible. There, is no
royal road to music. Experience and great
practice are necessary"
%.Oh, the there is, is no royal road to music eh
of the piano forte? But I will be, I assure
you, and the royal road is this" And, with
twinkle in her eye, the princess closed the
instrument and took the key. "That's being
mistress OF the piano, and the royal way to
learn is never to take lesson till you're in
the humor to do it."
All in the room laughed at this girlish out
break, but nevertheless the music lessons
were continued.
Other masters too, had the young Victoria,
being wellgrounded in Latin, Greek and
mathematics, while she spoke French and
German fuently, and was acquainted with
italian, besides displaying true artistic. skill.
Writing lessons were given her by Mr..
Steward, the writing teacher of Westminster
School, while Madame Bourdin was her in
Her mind, however. was never cultivated
at the expense of her heart. and many in
stances are recorded of the naive goodness
of the royal maid; while, when only six
years old, she was obliged each Sunday, on
returning from church, to repeat to her gov
erness not only the text of the sermon to
which she had listened, but the heads of the
leading subjects as well, thus developing a
rare faculty of concentration.
She was still younger when one day, dur
ing a heavy shower, she perceived from the
palace window an old and thinly-clad man
standing beneath some trees for shelter,
while, with his hat, he endeavored to pro-
tect his face from the fury of the elements.
Instantly her chubby hands were spread
out as though to protect the unfortunate
ancient. while. in her shrill baby treble, she
cried:
"Oh, run to that poor man with an um.
brellai He is very old, and will catch cold''
"a compassionate mandate that was prompt
ly obeyed.
1t was not until she was nearly eleven,
and King George was on his deathbed, that
the little girl at Kensngton became aware
of the high destiny that awaited her, and it
was while reading English history, one sweet,
spring day, with the Duchess and Baroness
Lehzen, that the full truth first burst upon
her.
She had come to some point connected
with the line of succession to the crown, and
laid down the book to examine her genealo-
gical table, which was always the constant

HfffaaD he was sadly careless withal, and

to bring down higher game than his dull brain
had ever dreamed of; for, wandering near a
pretty house known as Woolbrook Cottage,
he blazed away at a feathered warbler, and
his ball missing its mark crashed through q
window and went whizzing close to the head
of a fair little infant, lying unconscious of her
danger in her nurses arms.
Frightened enough, then, no doubt, was the

child, was staying at Sidmouth, and still more
frightened when informed how near he had
