In an Untrave|ed Section of the Capital City

the Pierce Mill road, but strike east
ward, and opposite the south front of
Holy Cross academy look to the right,
and you will find an untraveled and
abandoned road. The stony way Is
nearly covered with brown turf, and
where it Is not so covered the white
quartz with which the roadbed was
once repaired is grown with moss and
gray lichen. Low banks on the sides
show how the road was worn down.
Pines-poor, stunted specimens
border the road. and on the right hand
the traveller looks across Tilden street,
which lies below, and southwark, and
eastward over a considerable extent
Of the city. You are led on through
thickets of small pines, whose green
is grateful, and through a copse Of
oaks dismally bare and with a few
brown, shriveled leaves still holding
fast TO the sapless branches.
The eastward course of the road is
broken by q sharp turn which leads
down the hill through which Tilden
street was cut and into the ravine or
vale through which many OF the older
travellers passed on their way to and
from the mill. On the left there Is a
high bank and a steep hill.

Described by her father, Prince AL
bert Edward. as the beauty of the
family" and known in the middle of
the nineteenth century as the most
accomplished young woman in Eng
land" Princess Alice Maud Mary, as
matter of fact, owed her popularity
more to her sweet and vlyacious dis
position and her unfailing sympathy
than to any extraordinary gifts of
beauty or any remarkable talents.
She was the second daughter of
Queen Victoria and the aunt OF the
present king. She was born on the
25th of April. 1S43, and because Alice,
duchess of Gloucester, who was much
admired by Queen Victoria. was born
on this day, siXty-seven years before,
the little princess was called Alice.
Although possessed of many accom-
plishments. Princess Alice's natural
bent seems to have been in the direc-
ton of nursing When only is years
old she nursed her beloved father,
the prince consort, through his last
sickness. The next year she married
a German prince Frederick william
of Hesse, and carried her interest in
nursing and philanthropy from Eng
land TO the country of her adoption.
AT the time of the F'ranco-Prussian
War, Princess Alice took an active
part in the nursing of the wounded
and sick soldiers, and soon after
founded woman's union of nursing.
