By the King's orders she was compelled to relinquish her usual visit to , Ostend as a punishment for a little "con- tretexnp" which occurred one fine morn- tar In the Sprlnr. when the Princess was t taking- a stroll In the perk at Laeken. She saw there, to her surprise, two women who appeared to be as much at home there as herself. One was a young and very beautiful rirt, the other, evidently the mother, though, older, was equally hand me. The Princess, with that gracious manner which is renowned throughout Eu rope, went to them, and thinking- they were unlatestlenal intruders, nald. "I beg your pardon. Mesdames, but perhaps you do not know this Is private ground." The women looked ber squarely In the eye and the mother replied. "Oh, yes wo do. but we like to walk here." "Then I must request you to withdrew at onee." said the Princess with royal oXgaity, "This Is the Royal Park, and you have no business to intrude on my privacy-" "Oh," sneered the younger of the women. tossing her head, "but perhaps her royal J highness Ik not aware that we are staying J at the palace as the guests of the King. I who Is most gracious to both of us, and ' has given permlssloa that we shall do I whatever we like." ! The Princess was threatening to call the i guard and have them turned out when the King came en the scene, and the Princess J appealed to him. J "These ladles are my guests," said the j King wrathfully. "and are welcome to go anywhere they please. Go to your apart j meats at once, and do not leave them un- til I end for you. and do not interfere with my friends again." I And thus humiliated before the two wo 1 men the Princess was forced to withdraw ! after making the requisite salutation to her father, while her rivals stood by smll- iag. They are known as the Countesse de J La h nay and her daughter. It is not dlffi j cm It to understand, therefore, that the 1 Prl8ces will welcome as a real deliverer ' a Prince who enables her to leave her , father's palace, though she is so proud I that she would sooner suffer virtual im 1 prifconmeat 1r the palace than marry out j of her rank. It is said, however, that she , has fallen genuinely in love with Prince i Vjcter. and looks forward to her marriage ! to bring her the happiness of which thus ' far she has had such scant measure.

In any case, the ex Empress Eugenie has given her consent, and as she will leave her great fortune to Prince Victor, he will not lack money enough to provide comfortably for a royal spouee, even should her father disinherit her. It Is a matter of common knowledge that Prince Victor already has a morgan atic consort and a flourishing family, which cannot Inherit his title. There is a plenty of precedent In the pages of the unwritten history of European courts for the disposition of what Is considered a little complication like this. The facts of the case are perfectly well known to descent into the ridiculous although a soft stop! Only the traveler who has en joyed the one and suffered the other can comprehend why the twain are kin. For this country of stupendous scenery Is also the land of featherbed. "When grand mammas were sprightly maidens in sprigged muslins, the feather bed was a fundamental part of the bridal dower. As Indispensable.

He derives bis position as head of the Bonapartlsts from "his grandfather. Jerome, the younger brother of the great Napoleon. His father was that Prince Napoleon who was .derisively nicknamed "Plon-PIon," In then Second Empire.

Amerlcanltis comes from an Intense desire to "sit thar" and an awful fear that you cannot. The ounce of prevention Is to cut down your calling list, play tag with the children and let the world slide. Many a man's reputation would not know his character If they met on the street. The mouth Indicates, the flesh; the eye the soul. It is doubtless true that stupid men by remaining quiet may often pass for men of wisdom; this Is because no man can really talk as wise as he can look. Writers seldom write what they think. They simply write the thlng3 they think other folks think they think. People are always asking me to fol low their advice, but the are never willing to tell which way they went.

Money is the thins for which they Princess Clementine, of Belgium, Determined to Many Prince "Victor Napoleon South Africa In 1873, the chieftainship of the Bonapartlst family and of the Im perialist party was assumed by "Plon- Plon," who had oftentimes openly de clared his contempt for his cousin, the "ilan of Sedan." A bitter family feud now took place. Eugenic and the whole papal section of the Bonapartlsts rejected "Plon-Plon's" pretensions and opposed to him his eldest son, Victor, who bad been designated as chief of the family and party In the young Prince Imperial's will. And when, on ob taining his majority, Victor claimed the leadership in direct opposition to his fathfr, ho was followed by the bulk of the jarty. At his- death "Plon-PIon" disinherited him. "I leave nothing to Victor, my eld est son," he wrote In his will. "He is a traitor and a rebel. His bad conduct has caused me great sorrow." He designated as hla heir his second son, Louis, who has always fought shy of state Intrigues, and is now a General in the Russian Army. But the will had no political ef fect. Under the Influence of their mother the two sons continued warm friends, and Prince Victor remained the head of the Imperial family, both by the choice of the Imperial partisans and the affectionate renunciation of the younger brother. Never Accomplished Much. He lives In a modest mansion in the Avenue Louise, Brussels, not far from the royal palace, on an allowance of SO.C00 francs a year made to him by the ex-Empress Eugenie. The house is a mausoleum, devoted to souvenirs of the first Na poleon. His weapons and decorations are arranged about In glass cases. Among other mementoes In the collec tion are the cashmere shawl worn by the General in Egypt; his elaborate uniform as First Consul; the cane chair he used to sit on at St. Helena; even the pocket handkerchief employed to wipe his mouth when he lay dying. Here Victor Napoleon dreams of the greatness which his shadowy Inher itance may bring to him some day. "When I shall consider that the day has come to make my voice heard," he once said grandiloquently, "it will not be in an interview or through a newspaper article that I shall do so. but In the only way befitting a Prince, the chief of a great party. I shall say what I have to say, and sign my words with the glorious name I am prid to bear Jiapoleon. That was some years ago, and he has never said that say yet- He has tempt paresis; money that they may go to Saratoga and have peace, they say. Peace? There Is no peace unless you sit down and wait for It to catch up! When two men of equal intelligence and sincerity quarrel, both are prob ably right.
