Madcap Maude,

The little Princess Maude has all of her father’s liking for a good time, says the Detroit Free Press. She delights in running and riding and rowing a boat, all of which she can do very well. As yet her attention to books Is the result of the desire on her part to be obedient to her mother’s wishes. She is a healthy, rosycheeked, brown-eyed child, and Is very fond of the companionship of her father. Some one remarked to the Prince on one occasion that he was often seen with this daughter, to which he replied: “Oh, yes, Maude and I are great chums. ” The young Princess Vlctoaia, who is the eldest daughter of the Princess of Wales, is very much like her mother, both in appearance and manner. She shows her-Scandinavian ancestry in the rather remarkable combination of black hair and blue eyes. She Is a very pretty girl and a very close student, having all of her mother's love for books. The Queen is said to be fonder of the Princess Victoria than of any of her other grandchildren.
