"WHEN I AM KING"

MADAME MARCHESI'S HAPPY STORY OF THE PRINCE.

Bianca Marchal has written, a fasciant ing autobiography, full of

excellonb anecdotes and splendid advice, and telling picturesquely the wonderful story of great singers from the days of Manuel Garcia I.

The concerts at court, as related by the authoress, throw interesting sidelights and make good reading. When singing before the Queen at Balmoral, the Duchess of Connaught was so antisfied that sho laughingly asked, "Madame Marchesi, the Queen has been made so happy by your songs; now, what can I do to make you happy' To which. Madame answerel, "Oh, that is

very simple I would like to hold a King of England on my knee,

The wish was gratified, the Royal children being invited next day to tea

The most delightful moment appeared to mo the end of the tan, when the head ourse said, "Now, Prines Eddie (the present Prince of Wales), say your grace,' and the little Prince religiously closed his eyes, lifted his le hands

and said, "Oh, my good. ord, I thank you for the good tes, and turning round to the nurse, adfied a Сая have a little more" To, which the nurse answered: No, Prince Eddie: you have had quite saʻugh. You must not any that."

He seems, na a child, to have said the most delightful things, of which several came to my ears, and the one I remem ber and cherish the most was when ho was asked, "What will you do when you are king and be answered-quite a Jittle mita he was "When I am king there will be in my country no sin, no bearing reins for horses, and no puppies" tails cut."

Princess Beatrice was consideret, by: Baronne Marchesi to be the most musical of Qureti Victoria's children, and on one occasion when her accompanist, Dr.

Hy. Bird, had left and another concert was desired, the Princess rehearsed twelve pieces and accompanied them faultlessly in the evening, to the great joy of the Queen

The late King of Belgium, Leopold_hail no car for music, and it is recorded that, watching, one day the playing of the Brabancone, "his rational anthem, he said to his secretary, Well, this time I have got it: this is the Marseillaise.'' Another time, bearing the "Marseillaise,” he 'exolained, Now I am sure I am right: this is the "Brabancone,"

an awful and dialant respect, but with SHANGRAI OFFICE n-tolerant and almost patronizing Iriend-j liness, he finds men slangy and familiar AGENTS in Hongkong in the company of women, and woman xo less slangy and familiar in the company! Lof mon, The sexes struggle with little give and much take for the crowded train or omnibus; it cannot be assumed that my man will offer a standing woman his seat, or that she will take it, and thank him for it if he riers to the height of the sacrifice. If manners were merely the equivalent of ceremonious deportment, the criticism could hardly he gainsaid. The criticism, indeed, seems to imply that manners are valuable it and for them- selves, and that they are capable of dingt and separata acquisition. There is a good deal to be said in support of such a view. Lack of mannern can certainly cause much discomfort, and even much pain. It is little relief to the man or woman suffering under neglect or affront to be told that the offender has a good heart, or that it is in the right place. Even beyond any such negatively-ground- ed desirability, good manners have a positive value. They tide over many a painful situation, smooth many a rough passage, turn maay an awkward corner.

In a sense, too, manners many he taught. Few of us are without vivid childish | recollections of the process; fow, even da adults, have not come acrom the social guide-book which tells how many cards to leave when calling, how to answer kind invitations correctly in the third person, and how to restrain oneself from unduc. familiarity with the lady who drops her parcel in the street. "But n that is hardly the conclusion of the whole matter. The critic is still in the outer courts. Ultimately, manners have no real signi ficance and no truth, apart from tho character of which they are the outcomin and the expression. They are no reach- me downa, externally fashioned and appli ed to cover any sort of nehody. They are not even suite made to measure. For they are not put on from without, but grow outward from within. They are fin short, the product, of personality. Their appearahen, many, indeed, be aped, tem- porarily. The outside of the cup and the platter may be washed; the sepulchra mag be whitened. Such devices may for a time serve to cluak the unpleasant realities. within but only for a time." In the last Fresort, good manners draw their life from thought for others and postponement of self. Only in that soil, do they spring spontaneously. In any other, however, |carefully planted, they have no rout, and wither away. The critic of manners, to he justified of his criticism, must push his inquisition back beyond the veil of outward: show, and confront, the (spirit) whith dwells within.
