NO JEWELS FOR A PRINCESS
The Queen has let it be understood that she does not wish anybody to make her daughter presents of jewels, as she wishes her Royal Highness not to wear gems until she is seventeen. The little Princess has, it is true, one string of perfectly-matched pearls, a gift from her mother; but these she wears only on state occasions. A string of good beads, a ribbon from which depends a little simple cross or a charm, are the only ornaments permitted for the King's only daughter. White heather has always been a mascot in the Royal family, and when their Majesties and their children were at Cowee for the regatta, the Prince of Wales bought a little locket under the glass of which was pressed a piece of the magic shrub, aud this her Royal Highness wears oftener than any other ornament. It appears _ that tho Princess is pining for earrings more than for anything else, evidently having inherited Queen Mary’s great penchant for these ornaments.
