HER ROYAL sHYNEss. :"

The Princess Royal. Louise Victoria Alexandra Dagmar, Duchess of Fife, passes the half century mark to-day, as she was born Feb. 20, 1867, being the eldest of the three daughters of the late King Edward VIII, and Queen Alexandra. Facetious Eng l1shmen have long called her "Her Royal Shyness,'' because of her timid- ity and nervousness She is a little less than two years the junior of her brother, King George ", and about two years the senior of her sister, Queen Maud of Norway She be- came the bride of the Duke of Fife in 1889, her husband dying in 1912. The Duchess has two lovely daughters Alexandr vaictoria, Duchess of Fife, who became the bride of Prince Ar thur of Connaught in 1913, and Maud Alexandra who is now in her twenty fourth year. The Princess Royal has retained her girlish beauty and figure to a degree that has often caused strangers to consider her the sister of her daughters. For years the Prin- cess Royal and her girls were known as The Three Graces."

 Housekeeping is trade requiring just as thorough preparation as of flee work There will be waste and high living costs and bodily fatigue until women get that thorough pre- pAratton.

slightly reduced our speed with the dawning of sense of security, but now took the helm once more, and we raced north again at terrific velocity.
 The next day we were flying over the land of Barsoom when something seemed to go amiss with the engine, and we descended to small hill in order to better make any necessary re- pairs. We had hardly descended when we heard the report of gun from above us, and on looking upward we saw, just clearing the tops of the nearer hills, a great battieship swing ing majestically through the air. As she drew nearer ] could not suppress q wild cry of elation. for upon her bows saw the device of Helium.
 As Carthoris, Tars Tarkas and stood gazing at the magnificent vessel, which meant so much to all of us, we saw second and then third top the summit of the hills and glide grace fully after their sister.
 Now score of one man air scouts were launching from the upper decks of the nearer vessel, and in moment more were speeding in long, swift dives to the ground about us.
 In another instant we were surround ed by armed sailors, and an officer stepped forward to address us when his eyes fell upon Carthoris.
 With an expression of surprised pleasure he sprang forward and, plac- ing his hand upon the boys shoulder, called him by name
 "Carthoris, my prince!" he cried. "Kaor Kaor! Hor Vastus greets the son of Dejah Thoris, princess of He uuu. aud of her husband, John Car ter. yThere have you been, o my prince? All Helium has been plunged in sorrow. Terrible have been the ca- lamities that have befallen your great grandsire's mighty nation since the fatal day that saw you leave our midst.''

A It.,
 From. my swift blood that went and came
 A thousand burning shafts of flame
 Went quivering through my trembling frame;
 My whole soul waited silently Whats the use of girl longing -tc go to dances if young men pass hel
 by and consistently ask other girls to trip the light fantastic toe? There's nothing more embarrassing than to oe always known as one of the wall flowers It is the same way with skating or being invited out for q walk. A girls beauty does not seem to count. Pretty girls wonder why they are passed by for girls of fewer attractions. The secret of the whole business lies in nutshell. Girls wh1 are passer by are known to be poor dancers. When skating they give uE trying to keep their feet on the ice A for stroll, they are quickly Jagged out Their ligh-heeled shoes are more to them than the pleasure and exer- else would be.
 She who intends going to dances should as soon as possibly try to be- come the best danser in her set. The l she would not become wall-flower, she may be sure. There would be a scramble among the young men to see which were fortunate enough to get their names on her card. It's a joy to a man to dance with girl who floats around the room as light as feather. It isn't every man who is a good dan s~-J 1~4 <1, ,1tr1n the paces successfully is a God-send. The less he knows about it, the less he will, feel inclined to offer himself as a partner to girl who is as poor a dancer as himself The couple who can dance gracefully is admired. Even their best friends litter at the awk- ward coVple pumping into every one getting their feet trod upon.
 With skating it's the same. The young man who enjoys the sport keen ly keeps out of the way of the girl who would make an amusing spectacle of him on the ice. If a young girl, ac- cepts an invitation from young man to take a walk, he expects that she will have on the proper footgear. If he is irritated by a young woman's mincings steps, or notes that she is limping along, his pleasure is spoiled. He knows she is not enjoying it. He either halls a passing trolley, or calls a cab, rather than to prolong the agony He doespRt ask that girl on an outing again.
 If a girl intimates that she is sport she should be one The girl who boasts that she thinks nothing of a five-mile tramp around the golf course should be able to make good. She should excel in whatever she attempts to do. Beauty will not pull a gir through if she is not clever as we'll It really lies in her own hands as to whether she will be wall-1ower or not.
