Of the past two centuries. His training
az a sailor. which gave him an isolation
unusual in a crown prince. is largely re-
sponsible for this fact. Since the success

Edward, scores OF little anecdotes con-
corning the new sovereign are being re-

teresting of these stories is that told by
a retired photographer who had the priv
ilege OF taking the first pictures of the
monarch
Adolph Beau, the photographer. was
formerly the head of London's foremost
atelier. He occupied a studio in Regent
street, and his work was III great de-
man..
In 1861 Mr. Beau was summoned to the
palace of the .rince OF Wales, the father
of the present king, and commanded to
take a series of photographs of the royal
children, I'm order that miniatures might
be painted from them for her royal high
ness the Princess of Wales.
IN these days of instantaneous dry
plates and daylight printing such a com
rapher quite as a matter of course. and
the commission would be executed with
in few hours.
With poor Mr.. Beau. however, things
were different. The order of his prince
filed him with tie greatest d1Smay. How
was he to accomplish the result he knew
was expected of him. The method Of
photography then used was the old wet
collodon process which required an eX
posture of twenty seconds, nearly half
minute Children were rarely taken to

Origin of English Fashions.

From Tie UcnfleWOman.
It would be interesting to trace the
progress OF fashion in England from the
days of King Alfred, when, commerce
having extended the arts and science,
and opened up communication with the
rest OF the world. men began to grow
rich and women to study the art OF
dress.

of his power. AS DR.. White so truly

caught sight of the photographer he
dropped 'wheelbarrow and shovel and
bursting into a flood of angry tears
rushed wildly into the palace, shouting

said to be still possessed in a high de-
gree by King George.
The Princess o. Wales then dressed the
little chap in q becoming suit Of blue vel
vet and placed on his head a pretty cap
ornamented with n curled ostrich plume
One of the drawing room chairs was
placed in the garden and the little prince
seated.
A repetition of the troubles of the
photographer a year before was avert
ed by the appearance of Prince
Georges pet dog. which arrested the
youngsters attention long enough for
a really good photograph to be taken.
Prince Clarence, brother of Prince
George. who has since died, was also
photographed ut this time. He, how
ever. was patient little fellow. not
the naughty youngster his brother was.
The pictures taken by Mr.. Beau were
recently found in an old shop in an
out of the way part of London. They
have never before been published.
Despite many stories to the contrary,
il is said by those who know the new
King Of England most intimately that
he still possesses the strong will that
marked his childhood. 1t is believed
that he will exercise it now that he has
assembled the throne, and carry on the
policies of his father. King Edward
the Seventh.
All eyes are fastened on King
George at this moment. He is an enig-
matte figure His father learned from
men-King George has gained the wide
knowledge he possesses from books.
On politics he has never expressed
himself until recently, when, in a
characteristic speech, he declared Eng
land was lax, careless as to training,
taking life too easily and forgetting
great responsibilities.
King George V has spent much OF his
time in the navy. He is a man trained to
do his duty, silent, apart and determined.
Whether this equipment will give the
qualities needed in the great constitu-
tional crisis that at this moment England
faces no one yet can tell.
King Georges rise in the British navy
has not been like that of most princes.
He has not been pushed from grade to
grade, but has risen because of his own
efforts.
When he became commander there were
four English officers on the navy list of
no special lineage who had become COM
manders when younger than the man now
king. He was midshipman two days
after his twelfth birthday, and for fifteen
years he worked like any naval officer.
He served the usual term on an uncom-
Portable torpedo boat. He was men
toned in orders for saving sister craft
in a heavy sea by good seamanship. He
has faced the real stress OF life and
known the elements which are no respect
erS of rank. All of these experiences help
to make a good naval officer. 1t is to be
hoped they will help to make him good
constitutional ruler.
