Sister Princesses Ideally Happy.


Princess Albert of Belgium is the
happiest wife in the courts of Europe,
1t is asserted With her husband and
children she leads an ideal existence
in the country, and as far as possible
she escapes from the rigorous court
routine. 1t is said by those who know
her that when she comes to the
throne with her husband there will be
quick end to the lax methods that
have prevailed at court under sportive
old Leopold. The princess is a daugh.
ter of Duke Theodor of Bavaria, who.
despite his royal BIRTH became one
of the first oculists in the Old World.
Her sister is married to Prince Ru-
pert of Bavaria, and the happy home
lives of the two young women are at.
tributed largely to their unfailing tact
and common sense and their love Of
outdoor sports. They are both expert
horsewomen, they play clever tennis,
and both are handy afield with shot
gun and rifle. They are types of WON.

ROMANCE OF THE MODERN NILE.
England Doing More for the Eayn>
tians Than the Pharoahs Did.

There is a sad side to the trfum-
plant story of the Assouan dam, says
the Travel magazine. Above the dam
stand the islands of Philae which the
ancients called the City of Isles, and
on them some of the most beautiful,
though not the oldest, of the Egyptian
temples. Already, owing to the opera
ton of the dam, these temples are
hooded far up their walls When first
| visited Egypt, over 20 years ago, /
walked about their courts on foot:
when | returned recently | sailed them
in a boat. The sight was sad to see,
but soon it will be worse. for when
the dam is raised 'Pharoah's bed" and
other lovely ruins of Philae must be
submerged and With all their sculp.
lures and paintings hidden. and in the
end, destroyed
thus the romance of the religions
OF the past is doomed to give way to
the romance of the prosperity of the
present Philae must go, but, since
bread will always breed an eater. with.
In a few years time there will be
hundreds of thousands more Egyp-
tians, most of them hating and agitat.
ing against the western power that
brought them into being. A some
what thankless task, perhaps, yet
surely herein lies the real romance
of the modern Nile, that the care and
genius of distant England should do
more than all the Pharoahs ever did
to utilize its wasted wealth for the
benefit of Egypt and her inhabitants.
