 Pretty young Princess Mary, of Engl" nd, though she is engaged to a conn -oner. Viscount Lascelles, did not lean down from her exalted position to make advances to the man she is to marry. King George, upon learn ing Lascelles was interested in his daughter. gave permission for the suit to begin. Finally it was the Duke of Y York who whispered to the Viscount that proposal would not be disa- greeable to the Princess rosy ears.
 The young couple are believed to be sincerely in love, and Lascelles is swain. though he is thirty-nin fif- teen years his fiancee's senior.
