Princess's Books.

The princess royal of England, the only daughter of George V. is said to be the object of the same maternal solicitude as her brother, the prince of Wales. The princess, it is said, shows no interest in art as do most of the family, cares nothing for needlework, as do her cousins and her aunts, but she is fond of books and knows all the good authors, English and French. But her prudent nother only permits

her to read those books after a carefid scrutiny. “The library of the princess,” say* a Paris paper, “unique of its kind, contains only masterpiecse, but in these masterpieces certain pages have been carefully blackened with ink following the fashion of the Russian censorship. The queen is not of the opinion of Ruskin; she does not believe that It is neo> .essary to tell youngs girls everything.”
