Her waist measures but 17 Inches and sho Is so c.iiereal In appearance that even In England, where tho cult of thinness has as worshipers practically practical-ly all tho women of the kingdom and most of tho men, she Is called rather too frail and delicate In appearance. Queen Maud vva3 tho tomboy member of King Edward's famllj. Sho was tho baby of tho family and Its brightest bright-est member as well. It was sho who first nicknamed her broiler, tho late duke of Clarence, Collars nnd CulTs. a name which clung to h'.m. through life. Sho culled her eldest sister, tho duchess of rife, now culled tho princess prin-cess royal, her royal shy ess, on account ac-count of that retiring lady's almost morbid dislike of appearing In public. And It was this merry p-incess who collected all tho quoted sayings and doings of tho royal family In a scrap-book scrap-book and hooted It "Things We Never Did or S'il.1." |
