The fact is tiiat the prince and Lady j Marjorie had been in love from the ! first time they ever met. before they j met. so far as lie was concerned, and i even the displeasure of the king seemed ■ a small matter as compared to a sepnra- j tion. Prince Arthur fell in love with a pic- ! ture of his sweetheart when she was j only a child at school. This was at Eton, and tiie democratic ; lew of that institution had made Ar- I tliur a fag for William Waldorf Astor. Jr., son of the descendant of tiic Ameri can fur trader and a man whom Ed- j ward lias frequently delighted to snub. One day while straightening out young Astor's room, Arthur came across an illustrated magazine, which had in it the picture of a beautiful young girl, whom the story said was : (iie eldest daughter of the Marchioness | i of Granby, l.ady Victoria Marjorie Har- 1 ! rh-tt Manners j lip carried the picture away an I < ' treasured it as ids ideal of what beauty should be.

When the young girl was presented j some years later, she found herc-elf 1 confronted by the respectful gaze of a 1 young man who, from his appearance ; and the deference with which he was treated, evidently ranked high at court. Hi managed to get an introduction to i his ideal, and found her all that the j j picture had led him to expect.
