THE BABY PRINCESS.
TH E L ondo n “ Evening News” understands that the baby Princess will be christened Mary Victoria Elizabeth, the last o£ which will most likely be used, thus reviving the famous name in British history. Victoria was chosen in accordance with Queen Victoria's wish that her descendants should be named Albert or Victoria, according to sex. Queen Mary will be the principal godmother at the christening at St James’s Palace in May. The London “ Standard ” says: “Although she is so close to the Throne, there is no disappointment that the King’s new grandchild is a girl. It gives their Majesties a granddaughter when girl Royalties are scarce. Princess Alary, Lady Ramsay, and Princess Arthur of Connaught have only sons.”
