She often walked in Kensington Gardens and on one of these excur- sions stopped to chat with a woman selling fruit and chocolates near the entrance to the palace. The princess discovered the peddler's husband had served in the World War and thereupon arranged for the woman to have her pitch" on the palace green, which, being private property, did not entail the payment of the usual $1.25 hawker's license.
 Born in Troubled Times
 Princess Louise was born March IS, 1848, into royal family beset by fears of revolution. Louis Phil- ippe had just been dethroned in France and revolution was brewing in Germany. So great was the fear of popular uprising in England that the queens ministers had the royal children removed from Buck ingham Palace to Osborne, Isle of Wight. Martial law was proclaimed in London, but the great demonstra- ton which some fearful souls saw as heralding the downfall of the British throne, was a fiasco.
 In such an atmosphere it was natural that the princess younger years and girlhood should have been spent under a restricted regime. In maturity she evolved some decided views about the way to rear children and saw as "deplorable" the Vic torian method of moulding all youngsters to common pattern.
