the royal youth was acting as flag for
William Waldorf Astor, jr., at Eton
and. when cleaning up the sumptuous
quarters of the son of, the erstwhile
American, he paused for a moment to
turn the pages of a newspaper and fate
uncovered the likeness of the dukes
daughter. Since then Prince Arthur has
been her devoted admirer, resisting the
ogling eyes of half the marriageable
princesses of Europe and the pleadings
of kings and queens who see in royal
princes and princesses only pawns in the
endless game of world politics.
In the efforts to marry Prince Arthur
to continental princess Queen Alexan-
dra has taken a leading part. During
the lifetime of King Edward she was
constantly urging upon her nephew his
duty to the state. and she tried hard TO
get her royal spouse interested in the
project. AT times King Edward did urge
Prince Arthur to give the matter con
sideration. but King Edward was too
much man of sentiment TO compel. the
youth to marry against the dictates of
his heart.
