House of Europe whose cadets are
royal highnesses or hignnesses; the
priucely houses descended from the
Holy Roman Empire, whose members
are known as Serene Highnesses; and
certain princely families which are
not at present connected with a reign
ing sovereign How it may be assumed
that King George whose consent is
necessary before any such marriage
can be valid, will seek for his heir a
PRINCESS Of a reigning house. There is
happily, a large choice at his disposal,
even when one rules of the list-as
one must necessarily do-all members
of the Roman Catholic faith. It is
only needful to recall the fact that
the Duke of Edinburgh welded Rus
sian princess to show that the same
disability does not attach to members
of the Eastern or Orthodox church,
and there are also available all prin-
cesses who have been born in the
Evangelical or the Lutheran faith,
Choice is p Wide One.
There are between twenty and thir-
ty young princesses who come within
the rules which would make them
eligible to become the consort Of the
son and heir of King George.
There are two princesses born in
the same year. 1894, as his royal high
ness. They are the Princess Caroline
of Schleswig Holstein Sonderburg-
Glucksburg who is the youngest sister
of the Duchess of SaXe-Coburg, the
daughter-in-law of the Duchess of Al
bany; and the Princess Elizabeth of
Roumaine whose mother is also a
Saxe-Coburg. or the following year
there are Princess Marie, the only
daughter of Prince Roudolph Lippe, or
her cousin, Princess CaliXta, daugh-
ter of Prince Frederick William, who
was born at Potsdam.
There are also the Grand Duchess
Olga. the Emperor Nicholas's Oldest
girl: and the Princess Irene, the cid
est daughter of the Grand Duke Alex
ander of Russia.
In the next year year there is Prin-
cess Helen of Greece, the Duke Of
Sparta's charming daughter; and in
the following year one might mention
the Cars second daughter Tatiana, or
the Princess CaliXta of Lippe's young
er sister, Eleanor, or the Princess
Marie of Schaumburglippe whose
mother was Danish princess.
No Dearth of Eizabeths.
If we turn to 1898, we have the
Princess Marie of Anhalt, a niece of
Prince Albert, and Nadejda, a younger
daughter of the Grand Duke Peter of
Russia If his royal highness should
decide to defer his marriage until a
/ later year, and to choose from among
/ still younger princesses, there are the
/ Grand Duchess Marie of Russia, the
! Princess Marie of ROumaine-tve
years the junior of her sister Eliza
beth--or Louise, the youngest daugh-
| ter of Prince Frederick of SaXe-Mein-
| ingen, or Duke Ernest of SAKE Alien
/ burgs eldest daughter Charlotte, or
/ the Duchess of Albany's niece, Prin-
cess Helena of Waldeck-Prymont or
/ Princess Margaretha, the eldest OF
! Prince Oscar of Swedens three
/ daughters, who is therefore a cousin
/ by marriage of the namesake, the
Crown Princess of Sweden The
/ later names in this list are of interest
/ also with reference to Prince Albert.
| There are others equally charming,
and all will hope and believe that our
future king will, when the proper time
comes, make a choice that will bring
happiness to himself and satisfaction

Mrs. Keppe Plans Social Reappear-
ance.
LONDON, February 17.-Ever since
George the Fifth came to the throne
there have been many more or less
positive statements that MIS-. George
Keppel a former arbiter of London
society would no longer be received
at court-in other words, that on ac-
count of the animosity of the present
King and Queen she was. done for"
socially.
The main reason for this belief was
that she was great favorite of King
Edward; it being also said that she
was with him in Buckingham Palace
when he died and that there was then
a dramatic meeting between her and
Queen Alexandra outside the death
chamber when the widow of the dead
King made way for the other woman
to pass into the room, This belief
gained credence when Mrs. Keppel
leased her town house to Mrs. leeds
