Dame Rumor Has Princess Of
Roumania Slated to be
Princess of Wales
GRACEFULLY WEARS
MANTLE OF MOTHER
Not Only Is She Beautiful, But
Has Taste in Dress and
Delights in Affairs
of Heart

LONDON, Jan. 25.-The lovely
Princess Elizabeth of Roumania is be-
lieved to be destined to become the
wife of the Prince of Wales. The re-
port that a match may be arranged
soon grows rapidly and on its face the
rumor is credible enough.
What. go to Roumania to seek the
future Queen OF Great Britain" ex-
claims the thoughtless Engiishman.
He forgets that the Princess Eliza
beth and the Prince Of Wales are
third cousins. great grandchildren OF
Queen Victoria. For the princess
mother, the Crown Princess OF Rou-
mania, celebrated as the most beauti-
full Of the royal women Of Europe,
was the daughter OF the late Duke
OF Edinburgh.
Receives Mothers ManteI of Beauty
The mantle of her mothers noted
I beauty has fallen on the shapely
shoulders OF Princess Elizabeth, who
is q little more than eighteen years
old, She Is the exact Counterpart of
/ her mother at that age and has in
herited not only Crown Princess Ma
rie's pulchritude and yivacity but her
exquisite taste in dress
And--tell il not above q whisper
Princess Elizabeth has inherited a de-
llghtfuI weakness from her fair
mother. The crown princess. one of
the most happily married women in
the reigning families, was at"harm~
less fiirt'' when she was few years
younger. Many a young Roumanian
officer who had no further merit than
that he was handsome. danced well
and had delightful manners, has been
promoted at the laughing suggestion
of the crown princess to her husband.
A Little FTirt. But
And the Princess Elizabeth is an
outrageous little fiirt. To break hearts
temporarily, OF course--amuses her.
Since her frocks were heightened to
her shoetops. sidewise fash from
her fine eyes has set palpitating
princeiets, youthful diplomats. future
generalisstmos.
gagged TO marry Prince George, elder
son of Crown Prince Constantine OF
Greece, and 1t was not Georges fault
that the report proved false. Again
IL was rumored that she had given her
heart to Crown Prince Boris of Bull
garia.
Given her heart, She has no
heart" sorrowfuily exclaimed Prince
Boris when someone congratulated
him,
But the very old and the very
young, the poor and needy bless her
and declare she has the tenderest OF
hearts.
