--PRINCESS MARY. TYPICAL ENGLİSH “GIRL."","

THE QUEEN'S TRAINING,

It was in the year of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee 1507, that Princess Victoria Alexandria Alice Mary was born on April 25th at York Cottage, Sandringham, and was christened by Archbishop MacLagan, of York, in the beautiful little parish church there. Hor education was carefully superintended by the Queen herself, Mile Duraan being her governess. Her Royal Highness work ed hard at her lessons, and is now to-day an accomplished woman. In an interest- ing sketch of the Princess's "early years" Sir Richard Holmes, who was for a long time librarian at Windsor Castle, says: "From her earliest years the Princess Mary has been' carefully trained by Queen Mary in the household arts. She has been taught cookery, and has hersell pre pared all manner of dishes; though I have heard it somewhat humorously re- marked that her taste in the culinary art inclines to the preparation of such dishes as she moat enjoys hersrit. The Princess has also been instructed, to do various kinds of needlework. She is an associate of the London "Needlework Guild, and rands it some of her work every year." To these early lessons in domestio seonomy was added another-the desir ability of taking care of pocket money, and the Princess accordingly opened an cunt in, the Post Office Savings Bank, being the first member of the Royal family to take that coaTBO,

In later years Princess Mary has "con sistently set herself to perform duties in a manner before unknown in the annals of the Royal house. She was permitted to break away from old traditions which forbade a princess to take any part in public life while still unmarried, and in the freedom thus accorded to her she has represented in much more marked degree than those who have preceded her the life and interests of the girlhood of her day. Her Royal Highness may be said. indeed, to stand as the typical modern English girl, with her practical share in social movements and her active parti- cipation in all forms of outdoor games- and sport. In the fallment-always gracefully discharged of many monjes she has met all sorts and condi tions, adding on each occasion to her personal popularity!

English history has never had a more enthusiastic student than the 'Queen, who understood long ago that the buzan interest of the people who have made the Empire what it is transcended mere dater and names. It was along these lines that Princess Mary has pursued her studies. She went to the Tower of London, to Windsor Castle, to Hampton Court, to St. James's Palace, to realise the parts that her own ancestors, great statesmen, sailors, soldiers had borne in the making of Britain. But beyond that she has been into practically every City church not once, but repeatedly, and at Bunhill-fields and the Wealeyan centre in the City-road, she learnt something of the Revivalists of the eighteenth century. In all her education the Queen had one great purpose in view. It was to develop in her daughter a deep love and under standing of all that Britain stands for in the world.

FONDNESS - JOR, SPORT,

The great pleasures of the Princess" are found in games and sports. In bor more girlish days she held her own with her brothers at cricket, but since then she has taken keenly to lawn tennis, at which she plays a very good game. Foremost of all her delights is that of riding, and though she rarely rides in the park she spends hours in the sad dle at Windsor, Sandringham, or Alder- shot. She bent done much hunting before the season of 1918-20, when she became an honorary member of the Garth Hunt, and rode to hounds with the West Norfolk.
