pounds a year from the nation as a
prince of the blood, his mother, the
late Queen Victoria, left him very ell
provided for, while the dukes various
appointments bring him in a certain
amount as well. The Duchess OF Con-
naught, too, inherited a fair sum from
her parents, the late Prince and Prin-
cess Frederick Karl of Prussia, the
former being celebrated in the Fran
Ico-German war as the Red Prince"
and a famous warrior.
The duchess is one of the most-trav-
eled women for she had accompanied
( the duke to most parts of the world.
During her travels she has had many
humorous experiences. Once, when IN
Egypt with the duke. she had to be
lcarried on an improvised sedan-chair,
with muskets for the framework. and
! Egyptian soldiers as bearers. "I hope
! you men will not be tired" she said
graciously to the Indian officer IN
command Indeed, gracious madame" +"
was the prompt reply, you are no
heavier than the gun they are occus-
toned to carry"
It is characteristic of the duchess
that she takes the keenest interest IN
matters relating to women, and has
very decided views on the subject CT
marriage. Women" she once said,
must be told that marriage is not an
end in its sell. but an opportunity for
splendid work among men by making
their homes happier for them"
No less popular than their parents
ARE Prince Arthur of Connaught. who
(on account of the many missions he
has been intrusted with by King Ed
ward the King George, has
been termed the greatest understudy
lof monarchs), and Princess Pat"
who has been described as the most
lpopular member of the royal family
after the King. She was rare favor
lite with Queen Victoria, with whom
she frequently lived at Osborne. On
lone occasion she had been running
about the lawn for some time and
was gently reproved by her majesty.
l"Little girls should not run about so,
lshe said. Obediently, the little prin-
lcess seated herself at her grand
mothers side crossed her legs, and
proceeded to rock herself TO and fro.
isLittie girls should not cross their
legs" said the Queen presently The
little princess uncrossed them and sal
in deep thought for some moments
and then she said: "Why do little
girls have legs at all, grandma?"
During the tour of the duke and
duchess last year Princess Patricia
made herself extremely popular in
Canada and America. particularly
with her own sex, one Of whom asked
her one day to confess" in an album
To this she readily consented. and
after a query as TO her favorite occu-
patton, she wrote: "Babbling while

The characteristic good nature OF
the duke was illustrated by an Incl

war, when attired in mufti, he was
witnessing the departure of the
troops from the Nine Elms Station.
Unaware of his identity, a reporter
approached him to get certain names
which the duke at once supplied.
Then the journalist asked If the Duke

In spite of his good nature the duke

some of his comments when occasion
