residence but the family has place at
Vienna in one OF the prettiest suburbs
and another at Gmunden.
The Cumberland family appear TO like
Vienna. The strict etiquette OF the Vienna
court, which is second In this respect only
to that Of Spain. pleases them. They are
seen at all the social functions through
out the season, and no ball would be
complete without a member of the family.
Their names are as familiar those OF
the great Austro-H Hungarian aristocrats
who live in the metropolis and frequent
the society Of the Austrian archdukes
and archduchesses. Thus Princess Louise
will only leave one court for another
She will, no doubt. have some difficulty
in accustoming herself TO the somewhat
stiff manners in Vienna after the more
genial behavior OF the Berlin court. Her
somewhat modern attire will need some
modification. for the archduchesses pride
themselves on dressing in accordance
with fashions Of their own invention or
adoption. Their skirts. for instance. are
never narrow. How would they be able
TO make the elaborate court courtesies?"
said a court dressmaker when questioned
OF this subject.
When Princess Louise was last in
Vienna she wore short skirts, and her
somewhat skinny dress did not interfere
with her movements in any way Her
courtesies to the ladies of the Austrian

Admiral Of the British navy. who ap-
parently looked forward TO a peerage at
the hands Of James II, did not fancy the
idea of his son becoming a Quaker, and
sent him off TO the Continent. where he
participated in the gayeties of the French
court. He was still in his teens. II is
said that while there he gave evidences
of courage. skill in fencing and magma
nimty in signal manner. On his way TO
his lodgings one night he was attacked
by bravo. who, with drawn sword,
demanded satisfaction for some imagined
insult Penn drew his own sword, and
with a few passes disarmed his antag-
onst. but refused to pursue his advantage

Penn tired or the court life and tav-
elled further on the Continent, taking up
the study of theology at Saumur. His
father called him home in 1864, and, after
studying at Lincolns Inn in the autumn

the life of William Penn and with the
contemporary literature referring TO him.

he became stirred up. Apparently he had
heard Of II before. He thought Of the
children who would visit the exhibition.
Strange ideas OF the character OF the
founder OF the much respected faith
which won the adherence Of so great a
man as William Penn would get into
their heads, he felt sure. And one can
hardly wonder that these gentle lovers
of peace should not enjoy having this
picture Of Penn displayed before the eyes
OF the school children. for II suggests
that Penn's final conversion 10 Quakerism
was due 70 his cowardice. as manifested
by the refusal TO fight duel after having
assisted In destroying the peace OF an
Irish home. Penn may have been a spir-
ited youth, and apparently even Quakers
admit that he was, but reading Of this

used to dominate her wild brothers and

humor. An instance Of this sense of fun
caused much trouble to her governesses
and the ladies of the court in attendance
upon her. Reports, put about by some

was deaf and dumb. She heard about
this, and was delighted. When driving
out in the principal streets OF Berlin she
would suddenly turn TO her companion
and commence TO use signs. like a deaf

frozen stare of horror returned by the
court lady only added to the delight Of
the princess. One of the young princes,
who was once asked whether it was true
