KINGS DAUGHTER ISILL.
Princess Who Married the Duke of Fife
May Not Survive the
Winter

LONDOt. Jan. 4.-Gravc fears are
again expressed for the health of the
Duchess of Fife, eldest daughter Of the
King, who. on the advice of physicians,
has gone to the south of Europe t. re-
main until spring
The Duchess of Fife has never been
very strong. \ year ago last September
ST." underwent an operation as an out
come of severe complications following a
chill. She has never entirely recovered
from the operation and it is an open
secret that her condition il now such
Is to cause much uueaSiness among her
family and friends.
To the public at large the Duchess
Of Fife Is almost stranger. She is one
of the most quiet, unaffected, and un
obtrusiyc women in her fathers realm
She is devoted to her husband and two
little girls. and absolutely declines tc
maintain any royal state, taking til.
ground that when she became the wife OF
the Duke of Fife she became freed from
all the etiquette by which royalty i
cnvironed, and at liberty to enjoy life
as devoid of all restraint as any ordinary
peerless.
