Show I, -' POETRY AND LOVE. J "We arc told that a gifted poet has fallen in love with Princess 1 1 Mary, only daughter of King George and Queen Mary, and that. he i persists in writing love letters to the young lady, which are in' beanie bean-ie tiful language, expressing vthc loftiest sentiments. Princess Mary should deem herself quite fortunate in having a real love affair, for the great majority of maidens of royal birth live in an atmosphere too stuffy to permit of the developmentof anything any-thing genuinely true and romantic. In the spring of the year the Standard-Examiner is made aware of the fact that Ogden has poet's and poetry. A few of them we might commend to Princess Mary, but there are many whose effu-i effu-i sions indicate much sentiment devoid of everything that goes to make up poetry. AVe would be pleased to have Princess Mary re- ceivc the poetic contributions which arrive at this office at .that time I when the robins return, and nature brings buds to the trees and song and poetry to the love-lorn and those who are pining to be loved. . |
