PRINCESS MARY Is

like her ancestress, no sense of humor,
and in spite of the sensible upbringing
of her parents has a considerable idea
Of her own Importance. The writer
can vouch for the following episode
which happened at one of the large
garden parties at buckingham palace
about two years ago.
Princess Mary, dressed in simple
white dress, was allowed, rather as a
favor. TO mingle with the guests. Run.
ming up to a high court official whom
she knew well. and who was in deep
conversation with a member of the
government, she pulled his coat sleeve
several times TO gain his attention. At
last he turned and said eourteously
but rather impatiently, Run away.
little lady; I'm busy row"
The princess ran to her mother. who
had observed the little scene from a
distance
Mother" cried the indignant
daughter, "Sir called me little
lady and told be to run away"
You had better go back to him. my
dear, said the queen, >"and tell him
that though you are princess. that
you have yet to learn to be a little
lady"
Princess Mary is something OF an
autocrat among her brothers, and at
Sandringham, the charming country
house of the king and queen in Nor
folk. there is sometimes a good deal
of spsrring and an exchange of much
plainness OF speech. Once when
games were being played with the
children of the gamekeepers on the es-
tate, the princess in a at of temper
pushed one OF her playmates into a
shallow pond and then ran away
laughing. The Prince OF Wales, then
about thirteen. was very angry with
his sister, and locked her up in a
summer house.
