It Is astonishing how many really good,
unaeiilsh women have a habit of constant
fi**fu!ness Shat Is almost Intolerable. The
cares and worries of their lives cling
closely to them. Even their cheerfulness
Is querulous, and gives no real warmth
or comfort. Thackeray evidently esteems
good humor as one of the highest feml-
I nine attributes, for ho continually refers
so |t when he desires to make his hero
| |r.es attractive— the expression. "kind
good humor" occurs again and again In
hls books, and he always pul* It In with
a little tender touch, as If he valued It!

Although the Prince of Wale*, say* the
Inti>n ttketeh, ha* not vtslted th# Paris
Exposition, I understand that His Royul
Highness fully * tends to make his usuil
holiday trip to Nice In tho coming spring,
tinlea* of course, unforeseen circumstance*
■should arise to prevent him At Nice the
Prince I* thoroughly at home though
on on* occasion he wa* th* victim of n
terrific boro a explosion. Let me haeten
to explain. .
On a certain day It happened thatch*
hetr-*PP<rent had bidden the Orand Duch
ess of Mecklenburg-dtrelltx to lunch, and
the proprietor of the hotel had requisi
tioned Mr. James Oordon Bennett's chef
to eeelst In preparing the featt to which
hja master was not bkMen. Mr. Gordon
Utnnctt thereupon invited tira Grand
Ducheee to t< for a morning sail on hie
yacht, and tigk the cordombleu with him.
The luncheon hour arrived, but Her
Itoyat Highness had not returned, and
as the Prime never wait* for any one he
ordered Hie r|*l to be served The
landlord was In desiwlr. for among the
"surprlsee" of .Mr. Bennett's Ttief was w
Irombe glacee, which, on the application of
a match, would slowly unfold and •lleplay
its treasures divided into Adored quarters.
However, at tin aid moment, thinking id
make sure of the effect, the landlord
■ rammed three cartrhlges Into the tills*
ami applied the llgln. Instantly thera
was n terrific rsplunlon The windows
were ahntlered. and the I‘rlnce end Out
other guests wtre drenehrd with Ice
cream
The confusion was allayed only by ths
hearty Inushtrr lnso which Hls Royal
Highness broke. As lo the landlord, ha
fir*l amt hid himself for three whole days.
Hut the noise had attracted the nolle* of
the authorities, and messengers were,
when the explanation was given, sent off
In hoi haste So (he telegraph offices fo
stop any dispatch which Imaginative cor
rt s|*indent * might heed "AtiemiK osi tho
I-lfo of the Prtnce <>f Wales."
Hut only those in the mom knew of iha
affair. My Informant was on* of them.
The lata King Humbert, of Italy, at
the time of hie marriage, hail a wide
spread reputation for gallantry. Not
even the beauty of the young Queen
could prevent hi* seeing that the ladles
of the court were fair, and saying so,
Wlh more zeal than deaeration. Merg
herlla. his cousin ami Ids bride, V*
| pruqd us well us beautiful, and stormy
| time* were predicted
The tale they tell, says a former let
ter In the Philadelphia Iteeord, le how
Marghertla, In the full splendor of her
youth and royally, passing through tha
I*l*tf palace apartments to some stats
hall, surprised the King, young, too, and
still more a soldi* r than a prince, pour
ing fldtcrle-s Into the ear of the pretflmt
of her gentlewomen. Not one word did
■Viargherlta say, but. lifting her splendid
fun, she broke it with ony blow on the
offending lu.Bj-uf honor's shoulder and
lssed silently on to the ballroom.
One vflrslon—and the prettiest-says
that Humbert gathered the pieces of, tha
fan. hawed low to the lady and pamed
a silently after. The walls of the palace
shook with rumor* Hurt night, the floors
Vibrated with whisper*, everybody fore
saw u scandal—a horror.
Kveryihlng hod is “polltleal conse
quence" In those days, and while-hatred
ministers trembled t think of the amount
of mischief a g.rl'a resentment might
lead to. And what Iwippened’ The only
thing for which nobody was prepared—
nothing.. The young Princess pursued
her Mata-ly way without a word or
murmur: The young Prince became a
royal lover. The Queen from that flrwt
youthful trl of womanly dignity to the
moment of her nverwhelnVngly woman
ly grief, has never forgotten that she la
a Queen, or. rather, she lias never need
ed to retnembed It.

They were married In 184* and when
