NOW SHE IS TWELVE
'' . Last week,, did you greet little Princess Elizabeth with happiness wishes. for her twelfth birthday? Some ddy she may possibly be Queen of England, as the last princess of the house of Tudor was more than three centuries ago. . When, the world was rather more .than a hundred years younger, Princess Elizabeth's great-great-grand-mother was then just another little girl, though' of course a Princess' too. . She was small Victoria, and Sir Walter Scott wrote' of her: "Today I dined at the Palace, and! I was presented to the. little Princess .Victoria (I hope they will change her • name)-, the heir-apparehl to the Crown .as things now,.stand. This little lady is educated with much care, and watched so closely that no busy maidhas a moment to whisper, 'You are heir . 'of England.' I suspect, if we could dissect the little heart, we should find some bird of the air had carried the matter."" But the little Princess carried her own name through life, and as Victoria, Queen of England, very well it suited her. ; FAISIEL.
