Tutor to Princes

Lord Rosenberg has already had his
Invitation to stay at Balmoral with the
King and Queen this autumn. The
young Princes think the world OF the

enters thoroughly into all their ideas
of sport and knows all about it. One

Lady Decies Loves Horses
Lady Decies is one of the really
sprightly and unconventional Amer,
leans of these days. She is the second
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. George Gould
and is one of the few Yankees who
now do things worth relating. Though
not beautiful she is chic, daring, and
above all leader. always giving her
friends surprises. She leads her good
natured lord by single hair. She has
become a splendid Judge of horseflesh
and like other apt pupils has surpassed
her preceptors in wisdom. On horse
she can do as many tricks as circus
rider and like all the, younger horse
women of the day she adopts the
astride position.

make not the least effort to cultivate
royalty, though she does everything
dutiful in regard to appearing at court
at proper intervals. At Iuttrellstown,

that parish. Indeed Lady Decies is
