"Living Easy."

Princess Victoria of England, with 530,000 a year'of her own and no household to maintain, may well enjoy life. Her sisters, the Duchess of Fife and Princess Charles of Denmark, now receive a similar income each, equal to that paid each of their aunts when married, excepting the Empress Frederic, who was granted more, as being Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter and princess royal. The dowries have dropped, and neither the Duchess of Fife nor Princess Charles'was given a lump sum from the country, $200,000 or $150,000, when they were married. However, they did not lose so very much, awing to the custom which has sprung up es late years of allowing royal brides to accept valuable presents from outsiders. ,
