Post, granddaughter of Gen. James
Wadsworth, and Muriel White.
daughter of the American Ambassa-
dor to France. They visit her regu-
larly.
The crown princess, niece OF
King Edward of England, was Prin-
cess Margaret of Connaught when
she married Prince Gustavus Adolph-
us OF Sweden nearly four years ago
In Windsor, England As an Eng
fish princess she was very popular,
and she has completely won the
hearts of the Swedish people by her
unaffected simplicity and broadmind-
edness. She is passionately fond of
outdoor amusements, riding, cycling,
swimming, rowing, golf tennis, and
hockey being among her accomplish
mcnts.
Princess Beatrice of England Is
likely to wear a crown as Queen OF
Portugal, and in that fact II Is given
to free Americans to see It is not all
romance to be born to purple. Ro-
nance has no part in this match.
The princess Is 25 years old; King
Manuel of Portugal Is 10, and looks
two years younger. Further. there

Rome. But to conform to policy of
state, the young woman must aban-
don religious scruple. In addition,
she has peace and comfort in Eng
land, and rs Manuel's wife must en-
ter turbulent politics, with the shad-
ow of the assassin's dagger always
over her. Little wonder she Is re-
ported to have hesitated before ac-
cepting Manuel as sutton. And
what sutton, tool Coming stran-
ger, with the match made long be-
forehand' Surely, to be a princess Is
not to lie on bed of roses And for
Manuel, receiving his throne as u
gift from the hands of murderers, 1t
seems he invites his wife to see him
wear crown of thorns.

esses of the day in London. Untll
recently Crewe house (now for sale)
was constantly the scene of brilliant
functions, to which the "lions" In
politics, literature, and journalism,
always were eager to receive invita-
lions.
