H.R.H. Princess Elizabeth.

The Third Lady in the Land.

The Princess Elizabeth, th« infant daughter of the Duke and Ducbcss of York, is a baby of more importance than most babies in the world. If (he Prince of Wales were to die childlese, and if the Duke of York had no tons, then the I'rince.ss Elizabeth would succeed 1o the Throne. Thi* «ouid happen even if the King's younger sons. Prince Henry and Prince George, were to marry and have children. As a baby, Queen Victoria was in much the same portion as the Princess Elizabeth, except that five lues then fctood between the infant Princees Victoria and the Throne; to-day only three live. stand between the Princess Elisabeth and the 1 hrone. And, like Queen Victoria, the Princess Elizabeth will be brought up in an establishment that is certainly not a bip or a wealthy one Sinoe her birth, which took place at tie London house of Wd Strathmore, the Duchess , father, the Princess, Eliz»beih has patted most of her time at White L»i and a great deal of it in the opc-n air. n.n. i..,; .-. her wakeful hours the beautiful ut.iand- -if I , l,n ~ ,1 Park.
