From the very begin ning she astonished society by abolishing all sorts of foolish old customs, some of which are common to royal" and wealthy families generally, and othera peculiar to Italy. One of her most radical1 Inno vations was to do away with the swad dling clothes In which every Italian baby of good family Is bound up, The Princess was dressed In loose clothes, lltrhtry sewn up, Customarily an Italian bab.r of rank IS bound up from neck to feet Jn tight bands. Over these is placed a dress of the most gayly-colored silks, This sensible royal mother excels In all the sports that the King's delicate consti tution has kept him from enjoying,. She is proficient, in hunting, riding and shoot ing. She Is a fine musician, playing the piano and vloltti exceptionally well for an amateur. She speaks . English, French, German and Italian fluently. She Is a clever artist; and Is widely read In all branches of literature. Not only is Queen Helena beautiful m form and feature but she possesses that, nameless charm without which perfeot beauty Is often de void of fascination, She has large, lus trous dark eyes, full of expression. 'She has masses of black ' hair the genuine raven's . wing hue, .Her complexion. Is daizllngly transparent. H Her' carriage is extremely graceful fnd majestic. She has now become popular among the peop e of Italy, and doubtless her, good example in bringing up her baby will have far reaching effects." ,':-, The task of clearing- the British King's and Queen's private effects out of Marl borough house has proved to be a longer one than was "at Qm expected. A begin ning was made with the, more portable and personal objects the photographs, albums and a thousand and one memen toes and gifts of various kind Queen Alexandra's relics, of her girlhood, the souvenirs of the boyhood and ' youth of Prince Albert Victor, the objects which she received from rher . own parents from time to time, and; the. articles which fell to her share when a division of the per sonal possessions of the . late Queen of Denmark was made, have all been taken away. Some of them are stored in spare rooms In Buckingham palace, which are kept under strict . lock and key, and .they are being brought. out. and placed about Her Majesty's Apartments gradually, accord ing to her direction. ': The -King has given emphatic; instructions Jo all. concerned that the comfort , and "pleasure of the Queen are to be atugfed In the minutest detail. .For the time 'being the bulk, of her property is kept 'in London, but a large proportion of It will ultimately go to Windsor.. . , , , V, jT"- ----- 'lliy , ll J ',, 1.
